Your divorce, your custody arrangement, your financial future — when all of it is in motion at once, the attorney you hire needs to know where your case will actually be heard.
The Drake Law Firm serves Denver County from our Lakewood office, minutes west of the city on Colfax. We appear in Denver District Court and bring practical, courthouse-level knowledge to every case we file there. Denver has no shortage of family law attorneys. What it has less of is a firm that tells you the truth about your case from day one and keeps the conflict where it needs to be — no higher.

Our Offices and the Courts We Serve
We serve Denver County clients from our Lakewood office on West Colfax — a direct shot from most Denver neighborhoods. We do not have a Denver County office. What we have is a team that appears in Denver District Court and understands what that court expects.

Why Denver County Families Choose The Drake Law Firm
We know this courthouse.
Denver District Court is a high-volume court with its own procedural rhythms — specific expectations around financial disclosures, parenting plan formats, and docket scheduling. Our attorneys appear there and understand what it takes to move a case efficiently through the Denver system.
You’re not paying for downtown overhead.
Our Lakewood office is minutes from Denver with none of the premium real estate costs built into hourly rates. We are accessible from anywhere in the city and honest about what your case will cost.
No Drama is a real standard.
We push for efficient, cooperative resolution when it is available. When it isn’t, we go to hearing prepared and don’t blink. Both are true at the same time.
We tell you what you need to hear.
Not what you want to hear. Every case starts with an honest assessment of where you stand and what your realistic options are. We don’t run up the clock on false hope.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you live in Denver County, your case will be filed at Denver District Court at 1437 Bannock St in Denver. The 2nd Judicial District handles all district court matters for Denver County, including divorce, parental responsibilities, and adoption proceedings.
Both options are available. Our Lakewood office is on West Colfax, accessible from Denver in under 20 minutes from most central neighborhoods.

Colorado requires a minimum 91-day waiting period from the date of service before a divorce decree can be entered.

We will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on the specifics of your situation.
The Drake Law Firm operates on hourly billing. Costs depend on the complexity and duration of your matter. We discuss fees transparently during your consultation so there are no surprises.
