I would not recommend this firm based on my experience. I paid a retainer and was never provided with an engagement letter outlining the terms of representation, fees, or any refund policy. The firm performed no work on my case, yet refused to return my retainer.
What was most concerning was the lack of professionalism. My concerns were met with rude, dismissive communication instead of transparency or a good faith effort to resolve the issue. Refusing to refund a retainer after performing no work, especially without a written engagement agreement, is, in my opinion, unacceptable.
If you are considering hiring this firm, make sure you have a signed engagement letter before paying any money and get all fee and refund terms in writing. This review reflects my personal experience.

I cannot recommend GEM Family Law highly enough, especially my attorney, Erika Gebhardt. I came to Erika after working with another attorney from a well-established, highly-recommended Denver firm, and the difference in care, attention, and overall advocacy was immediately clear.
From the start, Erika made me feel genuinely heard. She took the time to deeply understand not just the facts of my case, but the underlying dynamics, ensuring my story was communicated clearly and compellingly to the court, even in the midst of a high-conflict situation with complex logistics.
My case involved relocation, custody, a history of domestic violence, concerns around substance abuse, and significant financial complexities, including tax debt and high-value business assets/liabilities. Where my previous attorney made me feel like these factors would make my case difficult to win, Erika approached them with clarity, strategy, and confidence. At no point did I feel discouraged or dismissed, only supported and exceptionally well-represented.
Erika, along with Andrew Maurin, Steven Visioli, and Cathy Grazier, handled every aspect of my case with the highest level of professionalism and advocacy. Even the Child and Family Investigator commented on how seamless and professional it was to work with this team.
This was not an easy case, but it was handled with care, precision, and integrity from beginning to end. I was ultimately granted relocation, and the outcome was overwhelmingly positive, which is something I truly believe would not have been possible without Erika’s dedication and expertise.
If you are navigating a complex, high-conflict family law matter and want an attorney who will advocate for you with both skill and genuine care, I would trust Erika Gebhardt, Andrew Maurin, and the team at GEM Family Law without hesitation.
