Bill Van Horn has been serving the people of Colorado for decades. He was raised on a farm in Iowa, before coming to Colorado to enter the Air Force Academy as a young cadet at age 17.

Within Family Law, divorce is the most common type of case. Many issues compose a divorce action: parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, and the division of property. We are well-experienced in handling the legal issues of a divorce. We walk through these difficult times with our clients.
Some choose to file a legal separation, rather than a divorce, because they do not wish to dissolve the marriage. Legally speaking, the process of a legal separation and a divorce are almost identical. And at any moment during the process of a legal separation, either of the parties can convert the proceedings to a divorce.
When two individuals are not married and have a child, an Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (APR) action can lead to a determination of the parenting time, child support, and decision making between the parents of the child. An individual can be subject to 19 years of child support if involved in a relationship from which a child is born.

Unfortunately, my experience with this law firm did not go well. I requested a consultation, and I worked with a lawyer in the office. I got a second and third opinion which were both in agreement with CO law in my situation. I called back this law firm to discuss this w/the person that advised me. I was told it was forgotten to mention this statute to me, and I received an apology for the error. This was the main gist of my inquiry, and the truth of the statute was not revealed to me during my inquiry. Further, I asked for a recommendation for another local matter. I followed the recommendation

Bill was a great partner with me in navigating an unexpected divorce that was a very difficult time in my life. Highly experienced, great patience and communications skill, very high attention to detail, solid integrity, and has a great team supporting him. I felt like I was in great hands through the process.

Bill and his staff combined just the right balance between having the wherewithal (knowledge, experience, etc.) and determination to get the job done successfully; with the compassion that I felt was warranted (and needed) in my divorce settlement. I highly recommend Bill and Van Horn Family Law.

Van Horn Family Law was a God-send to me. They are the epitome of professionalism and drew upon their great wisdom and experience for my needs. I couldn't be happier with their treatment of me and the fair outcome received, due to their expertise. They were worth every penny spent. In your darkest hour, they will show compassion and good sense, along with wonderful legal advice. What a blessing they've been through an unwanted divorce!

Bill is nothing like what he says on his website or who he pretends to be during the initial consultation. I was hoping his "Biblical Perspective" would mean he is fair and wants to resolve cases according to biblical principles.
Bill is a decent lawyer if your only goal is to win, regardless of unnecessary time, money or emotional damage.
I hired Bill to handle a "friendly" divorce. Like a previous comment said, Bill would "negotiate" using the most ridiculous settlement offers that my ex-wife or a judge would never approve. He likes to think of himself as an expert negotiator when all he does

Bill Van Horn is the best divorce lawyer in town! He helped correct my previous divorce lawyer's mistakes. My x was in the airlines and in the military and Mr. Van Horn knew exactly what to do to fix the incompetent lawyers I previously hired. If you have military or airline background that needs to be handled in the divorce, then this is the attorney to see.

Bill Van Horn and his law office helped me through a difficult negotiation on a contempt case. I really appreciate their diligence, thoroughness, and sensitivity throughout the process. Also great to have an attorney that will grab your hand and pray with you through a difficult time. Bill's not your average money-grabbing attorney; he is a true professional and looks out for the best for his clients, and creating win:win scenarios.

Early in 2013 I was surprised by an unexpected significant family legal problem. I sought advice from several different professional disciplines and was recommend to Bill Van Horn Family Law. At the first meeting I knew I was at the right place and at the right time. Rather than facing a bad outcome through litigation Bill Van Horn helped craft good solutions based on Godly principals. It was very rewarding to deal with a firm that holds God’s standards above common self-centered standards.
