Our Team concept ensures you get the best advice at the lowest cost
At Ascent Legal, we do things differently. Rather than have one attorney bill their full rate on all tasks, we employ a team concept. Our most experienced attorneys act as case supervisors, allowing our clients to avail themselves of our highly experienced, seasoned professionals without paying them to bill their full hourly rate for tasks that can be accomplished either by lower-billing associates or by hiring co-counsel.
What clients say
"We were so impressed, we asked him to serve on our board..."
We hired James to help with our home health agency. He guided us through the formation process, and we were so impressed we asked him to serve on our board.

James with Ascent Legal Group is wonderful to work with. He is kind, considerate, competent and extremely knowledgeable. He is easy to communicate with and it’s easy to get in contact with him. He helped me prepare for my court date, answered all my questions and eased my nerves. He arrived very early and he negotiated a better ending for me than I could have imagined. He even knew the judge presiding over my case, they go way back. He is very well connected in the legal field here in Colorado. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!!!!
Mandi Ravsten
Hiring Stephanie and her team (David and Lynne) was the best decision I made while I was going through my divorce and I wish I had done it sooner.
Their empathy, superb communication, and professionalism set them apart from the countless divorce lawyers I have interviewed. I wholeheartedly recommend them!
Lisa
Samantha is EXCELLENT!! She has great communication skills, always keeps you informed, responds in a timely manner, does not stir the pot, and knows right time to be aggressive. Hire her today!
Robert Hallmark
I cannot say enough good things about this law firm and my attorney Samantha Erazo! One of the happiest days of my life was the day I picked up my final divorce documents from Samantha. It felt like Christmas! Samantha and the entire firm were great to work with during my divorce. I highly recommend her and Ascent Legal Group.
Tina Wenzl

Brandi L
"James has helped us a few times in dealing with unfamiliar legal issues. He provides a very knowledgeable and calm presence. He carefully went over the logistics with us, letting us know what to expect, how to prepare, and creating a solid plan. He is kind and caring, quick to return communications, and very thorough in his explanations. He set us at ease, was fully prepared, and shepherded us through the entire process to a better ending than we hoped for. We couldn’t be happier."
Emily Musso
James and Stephanie are truly seasoned experts in the world of family law. They are ethical, knowledgeable, and very empathetic. I trust their professional guidance and have seen them work wonders for their clients. Highly recommend!
Maria Zalessky
I have used James for several business and real estate issues in the past, and found him to be knowledgable and professional. An attorney that actually calls you back? If I have issues in the future, I know who to call.
