KNOWLEDGEABLE, THOUGHTFUL, AND SHARP REPRESENTATION THAT YOU CAN TRUST!!!I have been working with Meggin for about 4 years and I can not believe that I never thought before to give her and her firm the most amazing review possible. Meggin has helped me in so many ways throughout the legal battles with my ex-husband. As a single mom who has been a student struggling to start a career as a counselor, Meggin has been gracious, compassionate and generous to help me with with my struggle against an ex who makes almost 4x's the money that I do. She and everyone in her office have provided incredible services and I trust her completely in this process. Make no mistake, there are plenty of attorney's that will take advantage of situations to get billable hours, Meggin and her firm are not those attorneys. They are diligent, resourceful, and an ever-present help!! You will not regret choosing this firm!

I am so thankful I found the Rutherford Law Center. Tracy Nolan was my attorney with Danielle DeSpirito and they were amazing. They handled my not so simple divorce very caringly. I always felt I could talk to either one. Tracy was very good at explaining everything to me every step of the way and making sure I understood. She helped me with the choices I made and made them work. When I called, Tracy answered the call at least 50% of the time and, if not she got back to me in less then 24 hours. Everyone in the office is very friendly. I very strongly recommend the Rutherford Law Center, I even have now retained Tracy Nolan to draw up my will!

Would highly recommend this firm. From the moment I began communications, everyone in the office was professional, courteous, and friendly. I have been experiencing ongoing disputes over the welfare of my two little children and Brittany (in particular) has been exceptionally helpful and compassionate. Her expertise and organization was a God-send. I found the firm to be affordable (for what legal action and attention need be taken). Have already recommended to family and friends who are considering the need for legal council.

The Rutherford Law Center was referred to me by a friend and I am so thankful for the recommendation.Tracy Nolan served as my legal counsel and I was very pleased with her professionalism, advocacy, attention to detail, expertise and ability to help me navigate the complicated and complex legal system. She looked into the situation from every angle and ensured that I was comfortable with the process every step of the way.In all, I am very pleased with the outcome of the case as it has brought closure and peace of mind for my family and I given the unfortunate situation. I hope I never need to seek legal services again, however if I do I now have someone I’d trust to work with again—highly recommend.

We were looking to get our estate planning done and could not have found a better group to handle our needs. The process was very seemless and straightforward. They answered all of our questions and brought up many different scenarios we had not thought about. We now have the peace of mind that everything will be done as we wish. Debby and Tracy treated us like family and we could count on their expertise to address everything we needed.

Selena was my attorney for my divorce. Let me tell you, she knocked it out of the park, I had my moments of frustration throughout my divorce, but at the end of it, I couldn't have asked for a better result in my divorce. I highly recommend the Rutherford Law Center if you need a divorce attorney! Thank you again Selena!

These lawyers are amazingly kind and truly care about their clients. They walk beside you in the hardest things you have to go through. They listen and allow you to process and walk forward. They are incredibly encouraging and build you up when life has torn you down. They give very solid advice and yet allow you to make choices that work for you. They are in your corner and will fight the battles that can overwhelm you. I highly recommend this law firm!

Meggin and her team were great, they helped us out during a difficult time with working to get my mother's estate in order and get her moved and set up for success. They were quick to respond and quick with the work, and listened to what our needs were and were kind throughout the process. I was very pleased with the professionalism, speed, and with the approach and attitudes of the people involved.

Selena and Meggin were straight forward, professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate during my divorce. Selena often peeled me of the ceiling and kept me grounded and focused. She fought for me, and in the end, was able to secure and protect the things that mattered to me. I am not only thankful for the win, but also the comfort and support throughout the entire process. I will be forever grateful!

Selena was brilliant. I was scared and stubborn. She helped me through a difficult divorce, always responsive and a great listener. I’m so glad I got to meet someone like Selena. She is very good at reading people, that is a great skill. I trusted her and it was very difficult for me to trust anyone. Thanks Selena.

Meggin Rutherford reviewed all of my Advance Directives, offered advice and forms for necessary changes. She is knowledgeable, conscientious and straight forward. Meggin, while being friendly, acted in a highly professional manner. She was expedient in returning phone calls and emails.

The Rutherford Team went above and beyond helping me with my legal situation, all while adapting to the challenges of COVID. Meggin made me feel understood and confident in my case. Her team was responsive to my many questions throughout the process, and resolved my case much faster than I anticipated. I highly recommend Rutherford Law to anyone in the Denver area!

We just had Meggin prepare estate plans for us and had a great experience. Meggin and her team are very professional, honest and don't try to sell you things you don't need. They respond promptly and we were able to do most of the work electronically so it was easy. We highly recommend the Rutherford team.

My partner (Kathy) and I highly recommend this law firm for help in preparing wills, trusts, advance directives, medical powers of attorney, etc etc., especially for the LGBTQ community. Meggin Rutherford and her staff are all wonderful! Professional, competent, and personable...and at a very reasonable cost. Can’t ask for better!

I highly recommend The Rutherford Law Center, Meggin was very professional. Billing was straight forward. She did her research and developed a plan to help me get through a difficult divorce. Don't waste your money on big firms who only care about how many hours they can bill you. Call Rutherford Law and get a lawyer who will treat you right.

My honestly recommendations to everyone who need dedicated and extremely professional help!Our story is long and complicated,enough to say: Estate left with no Will,in Colorado,nobody knows aboutthis because all living relatives do live in Poland,UK,Spain.There are some "companys" who's ofer sorting out everything for you as long as you ready pay 40% ......Just enough if you sign "Assignment Agreement " and voilà......That's what has been offered to my family members.One of them is my beloved wife,Barbara.When she received all documents from that company ,and we have close look ,we decide to ask forprofessional opinion,and this is the moment when I was lucky to find The Rutherford Law Center.Meggin is the most dedicated lawyer I know in my life, first one which I've meet in the USA ( by the phoneoff course- we are living in UK now).She not only explain me what's are the implications of our case, butalso She send an email to other lawyers involved in this story ( incl that "company")Now we know what to do, and thanks to Meggin , most of our relatives have chance to received whatthey should without loosing 40%.......If you looking for Law Office- look no more- I can assure you that you can relay on Meggin .Big thank you!Kris

I would give 10 stars if I could. My family not only had an unexpected death of a loved one without a Will, but also had their adult children surface after 40 of being estranged to collect. After being left with nothing but all the difficult decisions we had to make, Meggin and her team aided us at each step along the way with empathy and true heartfelt care. I am forever grateful we chose Rutherford Law.

We cant say enough good things about the Rutherford Law Center, LLC. Emily, Meggin and Debby went above and beyond helping us with our case. They are down to earth people who know the law. They made us feel comfortable and confident in our unique case. We highly recommend this firm for family matters in Arvada Colorado. Do yourself a favor and call Rutherford for all your family law needs.

Meggin was great to work with. She turned a very stressful task into something extremely manageable and we walked away with an agreement that worked with both of us. Meggin served as a strong neutral party that helped us to navigate difficult decisions, and I appreciated her assistance so much!

Going through divorce is a hard emotional rollercoaster that no-one is as prepared for as they think. Megan and Rutherford Law worked with my wife and I as well as my mortgage Lender to make the process as painless as possible. I will recommend their services all day, everyday. Thank you so much Meggin and Debbie.

Thank you Rutherford Law Center! We used your services to secure a Permanent Protection Order for a family member after applying for and receiving a Temporary Protection Order. That meant that we had only two weeks to prepare, file the appropriate paperwork, and talk with witnesses as well as manage the anxiety and fear that had caused us to file for protection in the first place. It was such a relief to be in your capable hands throughout this experience. You helped us to understand the process, expectations for being in front of the judge, and how to explain our case both succinctly and clearly. You stood beside us with empathy, kindness and rock-solid competence. In the end, our family member was granted the Protection Order and can now move forward without worry. Thank you again, we highly recommend your services!

Meggin is a confident, knowledgeable, and highly conscientious attorney. She is extremely empathetic, left no detail unattended to, and was incredibly responsive. She also did whatever she possibly could to make the entire process as painless as possible. I would highly recommend her.

Meggin and Emily were both knowledgeable and compassionate during my difficult divorce. They responded quickly to my questions, kept me informed during the entire process and did their best to keep my expenses at a minimum for the the nine months of the ordeal. Their kindness is much appreciated and their expertise made it so that my priorities in the divorce were achieved to the best extent possible. They are good people and good lawyers.

Meggin is absolutely FANTASTIC! I have been in and out of court with my son's father for over 4 years. Cleary we have tried every class, mediation and other options. I interviewed over 20 attorneys for representation and Meggin was literally the only one I felt actually cared about my son. I choose to retain her and we won EVERYTHING I asked for. A full sweep in the court room and she tore apart every lie and position he tried to take. She was able to show the judge his true colors and make sure I was able to give my son the life he deserves. I am eternally grateful her help! She was efficient, effective with her time and my money. She truly cared about my son and his future. She was worth every penny and even more affordable than a lot of the other attorney's I meet with. SHE IS AN AMAZING LAWYER!!!!! I have referred several people over to her already and each one was as happy with her service!

Meggin is the best attorney I've come in contact with. She is smart, caring and is a fighter. I truly believe she cares about the good of others. The legal system is far from fair and has no compassion for people making mistakes. Not Meggin. She knows first hand about how hard it can be to fight the legal system and is a true fighter for her clients. I'd recommend her to anyone who she can help.Parker A

My first time going through my custody battle for my son was an awful experience. When I had to go back I found Meggin Rutherford. She was absolutely amazing. I have not met a lawyer who was as honest and upfront as she was. She was always very responsive when ever I had questions or concerns. She talked me through everything and made sure I understood what was happening and that I was ok with it. She never pushed me to go into a direction I was not comfortable with. She was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.

Both my son and I admire Meggin to the moon and back. I would gladly give her name for other potential clients. We met Meggin in and around 2012 to help us in getting custody for my granddaughter from a mother who knew the law and had been in prison twice. She also had a judge on her side. Meggin worked her fanny off to fight and yes it seemed like the courts would never end but they did and we finally WON in 2014! Through our trial my son eventually had to sit back and let Meggin take control. When you help the attorney they are more likely to give you the best job, but if you constantly interrupt them and tell them they are not doing a good job than one only makes them selves out to be naive and should probably research all they can on their type of case. Than you know what is expected. All I can say is listen to your attorney they just might have the answer you are looking for. Blessings to a great law firm!

We contracted with Meggin Rutherford in the middle of a contentious divorce. It took very little time for Meggin to get up to speed on all of the issues and she was able to help us with numerous problems that were caused by the previous attorney. She was always able to answer our questions and spend as much time with us as was needed and counsel us on various issues. She always had a firm grasp on all of the issues. She is a strong advocate for her clients. Thank you Meggin.Emily Bright Hayes, the second attorney in the Rutherford Law Center is also a great advocate to have in your corner. She was able and willing to give us her opinions and counsel. She was of great assistance to us.
