Littman Family Law - Denver, Colorado

Review for David Littman, Lawyer in Denver

I feel compelled to share my experience with David Littman, as it was far from what I expected from a legal professional. I hired him during my divorce, hoping for a collaborative approach to minimize conflict, especially for the sake of my children. Unfortunately, what I encountered was the exact opposite.

From the outset, it became clear that David seemed to thrive on conflict rather than working to reduce it. Instead of seeking amicable solutions, he appeared to escalate tensions at every opportunity. His strategies felt more like attempts to stoke the flames of discord rather than help us navigate the difficult terrain of divorce. This was especially concerning given the emotional toll that divorce takes on children. Rather than being part of the solution, David seemed to be part of the problem, inadvertently creating an environment where hostility thrived.

It was frustrating to see how he would latch onto minor disagreements and amplify them into major disputes. Each interaction felt like he was looking for a way to create conflict rather than resolve issues. I often left meetings feeling more agitated and overwhelmed, questioning whether my priorities were being represented. His approach not only made the divorce process longer and more painful but also impacted my children negatively.

Additionally, I noticed that David seemed to enjoy the back-and-forth of legal battles, as if he craved the conflict that came with it. This was disheartening, as I had hoped for a lawyer who would advocate for a resolution that prioritized the well-being of my kids. Instead, it felt like he was more interested in racking up billable hours than in genuinely helping families heal and move forward.

In hindsight, I wish I had chosen someone who understood the importance of minimizing conflict and prioritizing the emotional well-being of my children. If you're looking for a lawyer who will work towards a peaceful resolution, I would strongly advise against hiring David Littman. His approach only perpetuates the challenges that children of divorce face, rather than alleviating them. I hope others can learn from my experience and seek legal counsel that values collaboration and compassion over conflict.

David Littman, and his team, did an incredible job for me years ago. My daughter had a very complex medical situation that her father was fighting against the doctors recommendations. Mr. Littman was thorough in his research, incredible with the children involved and took the time needed to review all details/interview all doctors in order to find the best result for my daughter. I wish that I would have had Mr. Littman from the time of the divorce being filed to have a realistic parenting plan that would have avoided the obstacles we faced years later. I have referred him to many people, and will continue to!

Littman Family Law and David Littman has been the most expensive and most useless mediating attorney I have ever dealt with. We were trying to simply resolve a matter of my husbands first born son being taken from us during our scheduled parenting time and withholding him from us. Because we had an active retainer and then filled it again during this request, while the mother of my step son was not paying, we were charged for each email inquiring about what progress he has made. The response we received each time that we asked was effectively that there has been no progress made since she was overdue on her funds. If we were to get him to lift a finger or type a key on the keyboard to her about this, we needed to pay her portion of the mediation. She discovered this and found it comical and he ended up blowing through the rest of our $1500 we added telling us he won’t help us roughly $35 at a time. I’m working with my attorney now to seek litigation against this corrupt scam artist. As soon as we were seen in front of a judge instead of him we had results immediately. There had to be something illegal about his methods of practice and we are determined to make things right. DO NOT USE DAVID LITTMAN.

Working with Linda was incredible. I was at such a vulnerable place in my separation, and Linda made this so much easier. Obviously, no one wants to get divorced, and I was particularly shocked and emotional throughout the process. The most remarkable quality Linda had was just making me feel validated. She listened to me, was comforting to me, gave realistic solutions, and treated me with such kindness and empathy. She would take the time to ask about my daughter, my friends, my job, just because she cared and genuinely wanted the best for me. I’ll never forget how touched that made me feel, and is something I would never expect of an attorney. But she was more than a lawyer to me - instead a guiding force. I appreciate how she treated me like a person first - a friend, even, and how that made me feel more level headed to take on the divorce process with gusto.
Additionally, Linda was professional and fantastic at her job. She kept cost considerations in mind the entire time which was extra nice. Linda was always professional, had knowledge of the legal system that opposing counsel didn’t even seem to have, and always spoke honestly with me. She found solutions, got creative with me, and had my back through many frustrating situations in the divorce process.
I would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone getting divorced. For me, it helped that she wasn’t dissimilar to me - friendly, young, a motivator for other women, and at times even funny. 🙂 She made the legal system accessible for me: someone who had never thought she would be in this situation.
The world needs more Lindas! 🙂

I would recommend that NO ONE uses David as their PCDM. Escalates conflict, does not protect client confidentiality, and does not help children or families find peace.

Very disappointing experience with this firm. They were quick to request a retainer but then completely non-responsive until the fourth time I contacted the attorney to check on the status of my project. I asked her to work on a document that affects my and my husband's rights in real estate, which is very important to me. However the firm made me feel like a pesky nuisance. The lawyer finally sent some revisions and told us to get the document notarized at the UPS Store. Felt very sloppy and rushed. Definitely would not use for any other projects or recommend to anyone who is seeking an attorney who is thorough with their work.

I have been working with Linda for about the last year. She has been handling my post divorce motions brought against me by my ex wife. She has been very professional and knowledgeable about how to deal with these motions along with creating a more streamline child support agreement with my ex wife. After much work and collaboration on a motion recently filed by my ex wife, she helped me defend this motion and preclude my ex wife from being able to reopen a case to allocate undisclosed marital assets!!
Her attention to detail has been excellent along with her ownership in providing representation to her clients has been wonderful!

David Littman taught me that there is no financial incentive for an unethical PCDM to reduce the conflict in a very high conflict divorce. David could have reduced the conflict by connecting with my kids' therapists (as requested right from the start) to understand how our high conflict divorce was impacting our kids. David also could have reduced the conflict by allocating his costs to the parent that was breaking parent agreements and court orders, as it was his right to do so based on our parent agreement. Every time my ex. unilaterally took my kids off their medication, refused to respond to basic communications from doctor and myself, would not follow the basic guidelines for parenting 2 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I was charged half the cost for bringing up these violations. As I said above, this did nothing to stop the behavior and, actually, escalated things to the point that I had to file a motion to restrict parenting, as David was doing nothing to address my 12 year old daughter having to leaver her school due to having accidents in class, and all of my kids were failing their classes.

Even after I changed to a different PCDM in David's firm, David involved himself in my case in way that were unethical and hurtful to my family. I tried to address these concerns with David, and he could not dignify my questions with any kind of response, much less accept any responsibility. In fact this small minded, lazy, arrogant man final gesture was to write a court order that had me paying 100% for divorce coaching and I was not the one violating agreements! This order was turned around in a month at the request of the Divorce coach who realized that David's court order was going to make her work harder.

I will do my best to forgive David, and it is not going to be easy.
