Solutions for You

When you work with an attorney, you want to ensure that they are working toward the goal you want in your case. Your attorney should not make all the choices – they need to work in partnership with you to find solutions for your legal issues and reach the goal you set together.

Why Do Clients Choose The Law Office of Andrew Bryant?

We fight hard for our clients, but we are just as direct about what that fight can realistically accomplish. That honesty is what makes our advocacy worth paying for, and it is the main reason clients trust us with the hardest periods of their lives.

Here is what that looks like in practice:

  • We tell you what is realistic before you spend money pursuing what is not, even when the answer is hard to hear.
  • You make the decisions in your case, and we make sure you understand the likely result of each option first.
  • We look for common ground where it exists and litigate hard where it does not.
  • We prepare every hearing as if a judge will decide it, because sometimes a judge will.
  • We match you with the attorney whose style fits you, whether you want a steady counselor or a direct strategist.

We never promise a particular outcome, because no lawyer controls what a judge decides. What we promise is preparation, honest advice, and a team that stays in your corner from the first meeting through final orders.

Contact us for a free consultation, and we will tell you exactly where your case stands. Call (719) 634-7353 in Colorado Springs or (720) 548-4440 in Greenwood Village.

Serving Families From Colorado Springs to the Denver Suburbs

The Law Office of Andrew Bryant serves clients across Colorado from two offices, one in downtown Colorado Springs and one in Greenwood Village. Wherever your case is filed, you work with attorneys who know the local courts and how they schedule family cases.

Colorado Springs and El Paso County

Our headquarters at 805 S. Cascade Ave. is minutes from the El Paso County Judicial Building, where divorce, custody, and protection order cases for the 4th Judicial District are heard.

Andrew Bryant has practiced in these courtrooms since he began his career in the district attorney’s office, and our team knows how local divisions handle temporary orders, mediation, and final hearings.

Greenwood Village and the Denver Metro

Our Greenwood Village office serves families in Denver and its southern suburbs, including Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Littleton, and Aurora. Clients there get the same honest approach and the same direct access to their attorney as clients in Colorado Springs. For general questions that span both regions, either office can help you get started.

Criminal Defense and DUI Representation

Criminal defense has been part of this firm since the day it opened, and it remains half of who we are. If you are facing a DUI or another criminal charge, our attorneys will review the evidence, explain your options plainly, and defend you in court.

DUI cases are a major focus of our criminal practice, along with domestic violence, drug, and assault charges. A criminal charge can also follow you into a divorce or custody case, and having one firm that understands both sides keeps your strategy consistent.

Why Does a Former Prosecutor’s Perspective Matter in Family Law Cases?

Andrew Bryant began his legal career at the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office. That background gives our team a clear view of how charges are built and where they can be challenged, in criminal court and in family cases where criminal allegations come up.

Frequently Asked Questions

for a Colorado Springs Family Law Attorney

Do you offer free consultations for family law cases?
Yes, The Law Office of Andrew Bryant offers free consultations at both its Colorado Springs and Greenwood Village offices. The consultation is a chance to explain your situation, ask questions, and get an honest assessment of your options before you decide whether to hire us.
How long does a divorce take in Colorado?
A Colorado divorce cannot be finalized until at least 91 days after the court gains jurisdiction over the responding spouse under C.R.S. 14-10-106, and finishing that quickly generally requires agreement on every issue. Contested divorces in Colorado Springs commonly take about a year, depending on court schedules, the need for outside professionals such as appraisers, and how many issues are disputed.
Is Colorado a 50/50 custody state?
No, Colorado has no automatic 50/50 rule for parenting time. State law encourages frequent and continuing contact with both parents when that is safe and appropriate, but the actual schedule depends on factors such as each parent's involvement, the child's needs, and any safety concerns.
Do you handle family law cases in Denver?
Yes, the firm's Greenwood Village office at 8480 E. Orchard Rd., Suite 1300, serves clients throughout the Denver metro, including Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Littleton, and Aurora.
What should I bring to my first meeting with a family law attorney?
Bring any court papers you have received or filed, recent pay stubs or tax returns, statements for bank, retirement, and debt accounts, and a short timeline of key events. If children are involved, include their schedules and any existing parenting agreements, along with a list of the questions you most want answered.

What Family Law Services Do We Handle in Colorado Springs and the Denver Metro?

Family law is the core of our practice, and every case gets a strategy built around your goals, your children, and your finances. Here is how we help.

Divorce

We guide you through every stage of a Colorado divorce, from the first filing through temporary orders, financial disclosures, settlement talks, and a final orders hearing if one is needed. 

Whether your divorce is cooperative or contested, you will understand each decision before you make it. Temporary orders on parenting time, support, and who stays in the home can shape the rest of the case, so we treat that early stage as seriously as the final hearing.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

Colorado courts decide parenting time and decision-making based on the child’s interests, using the factors in C.R.S. 14-10-124. 

We help you build a parenting plan the court can approve and present the evidence that shows what your children need, whether you are negotiating with the other parent or heading to a hearing.

When the facts are disputed, we can advise you on bringing in a child and family investigator or a parental responsibilities evaluator. 

Not every case needs one, but when a neutral professional can give the court a clearer picture of your family, we will explain the cost, the timing, and whether it is likely to help.

High-Asset Divorce

When a divorce involves a business, real estate, retirement accounts, or investments, the details decide the outcome. 

Colorado divides marital property in a way the court finds fair under C.R.S. 14-10-113, which is not always a 50/50 split, so we work with forensic accountants and business valuation professionals when the numbers need to be traced or tested.

Hidden assets are harder to hide than most people think. Money has to come from somewhere, so tracing deposits, transfers, and account openings can often show where funds went, including funds moved into cryptocurrency.

Child Support and Spousal Maintenance

Support orders shape your finances for years, and updated Colorado child support guidelines took effect on March 1, 2026, revising the support schedule and how parenting time is credited. 

We calculate realistic figures from the actual income, parenting time, and expenses in your case and pursue modifications when circumstances change. 

The main inputs are each parent’s income, the number of children, and the overnights each parent has, along with costs such as health insurance and child care, so accurate financial records make a real difference.

Mediation

Most Colorado divorce and parenting cases go through mediation before a judge decides anything, unless domestic violence or another reason leads the court to waive it. 

Our attorneys prepare you for mediation so you walk in knowing what a fair agreement looks like, and Mark Galler also brings mediation training to the way he approaches contested cases.

Domestic Violence and Protection Orders in Family Cases

An allegation of abuse or a protection order can change a divorce or custody case overnight. 

Because our firm practices both family law and criminal defense, we understand how a protection order, a pending criminal charge, and a parenting dispute affect each other, and we can address all three.

Other Family Law Matters

We also handle paternity, legal separation, enforcement of court orders, military divorce, family law appeals, and stepparent adoptions when a parent has stepped away from a child’s life. 

Since 2026, the firm has also offered estate planning to help families protect what they have built.

What Does Honest Family Law Advice Sound Like?

Honest advice sometimes means telling you something you did not want to hear at the start, so you can plan around it instead of being surprised at the end. Clients hear these truths from us early:

  • Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, so marital misconduct, such as an affair, does not factor into how the court divides property or awards maintenance.
  • Being the primary caregiver during the marriage does not mean you will automatically keep the majority of parenting time after it.
  • Very few people get everything they ask for at a contested hearing, and often both sides leave unhappy with part of the result.
  • A fast agreement made just to be done can cost far more to fix later than it would have cost to get right the first time.

None of this means we stop fighting for what you want. If you decide a goal is worth pursuing after you understand the odds, we will pursue it with you and give it everything we have.

How Do We Help You Stay in Control of Your Family Law Case?

Our attorneys see their role as the guiding force in your case, not the driving force. You will get the information, options, and recommendations you need, and then you choose the direction, because the outcome affects your life and your children long after the case closes.

Clients who stay in control of their own decisions tend to come through a divorce in a better place, even when the process is painful. That is why we explain the likely result of every major choice before you make it.

What Happens After You Contact Us?

The first steps are simple, and you will know what comes next at every stage. Many people put off calling because they are not sure they are ready, but an early conversation often prevents mistakes that are hard to undo. Here is the typical path for a family law case:

Stage What Happens What You Can Expect From Us
Free consultation You tell us what is happening and what you want An honest read on your options and a realistic outlook
Attorney match We assign the attorney who fits your case and style A direct line to your attorney and a clear plan
Filing and disclosures Petitions, responses, and financial disclosures are prepared and filed Deadlines tracked and documents reviewed before they go out
Temporary orders The court can set interim parenting time, support, and use of property Preparation for any hearing and advice on what to request
Mediation or negotiation Both sides try to resolve some or all issues A clear picture of what a fair agreement looks like
Final orders A judge approves the agreement or decides the contested issues Full trial preparation if the case does not settle

Every case moves at its own pace, and the courtroom you are assigned plays a large role in scheduling, since some divisions set contested hearings many months out. In El Paso County, check the court’s posted hours before any in-person appearance, and we will keep you updated on every date that matters.

South Denver/Denver Tech Center Family Attorney

Mark Galler practices family law from our Greenwood Village office, representing clients in divorce, custody, and protection order matters across the Denver metro.

Mark also treats the counselor side of the job as seriously as the courtroom side, because many people going through a divorce have no one else to confide in. Before coming to Colorado, Mark ran his own practice in Illinois.
