I consulted other lawyers who gave me little hope that promises would be honored, even though witnessed by many, nor any chance for redress. Years earlier I had naively signed a document, without reading or understanding its implications. Tim Broderick helped me to set realistic expectations and then he went on to win the case. I was despondent, scared, and angry. He listened and then presented workable ideas on how to proceed with my case. I appreciate his optimistic and sensible approach, always keeping me informed of my options. He let me know that there was help to get me through; and I wasn't alone. He has a great staff, they really shine! They listened, kept me on schedule, were prompt with all necessary work and documents, and helped me to stay focused and positive. (which was difficult) Best of all Tim helped me put a painful chapter of my life behind me. I find it difficult to convey how much I admire and appreciate him.

Mr. Ziff took the time to truly understand the details and provided calm, clear, and professional advice at a time when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain.

Mr. Ziff's experience and empathy really stood out. He didn't pressure me or push services; he just gave me the straight answers I needed.

Bumping my review by one star. After reading glorious reviews, Lauren Rios was my number one choice and the first attorney I contacted. The receptionist took down my personal details only to inform me right away that they are not accepting new clients at this time. I wasn't asked for any details of my situation to determine whether the firm has the expertise or the bandwidth to take on my case, now or in the future. This left me wondering whether my Jewish-sounding last name made them turn me away without any further consideration. After all, it would be enough to ask for a first name only in order to carry on a conversation.

I paid an exorbitant fee for a family law consultation expecting legal insight, guidance, and at…read moreleast some willingness to discuss potential options. Instead, I left feeling like I had paid hundreds of dollars simply to be told that nothing could be done unless I retained the firm. I presented evidence of financial abuse and explained the circumstances surrounding my case, hoping for meaningful advice or direction. Rather than receiving any substantive assistance, I was met with what felt like indifference and a sales pitch for additional legal fees. The message was clear: unless I was prepared to spend even more money, my concerns were not worth addressing. I understand that attorneys are not obligated to represent every client, but charging premium consultation rates while offering virtually no practical guidance is difficult to justify. What made the experience particularly disappointing was the complete lack of empathy. Family law clients are often facing some of the most stressful and financially devastating situations of their lives. A little compassion and professionalism would go a long way. This consultation felt less like a legal service and more like an expensive screening process designed to determine whether additional fees could be collected. I left feeling dismissed, frustrated, and no closer to understanding my legal options than when I arrived. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to ask exactly what they will receive during a paid consultation before spending their money. My experience was that the cost far exceeded the value provided. Better yet just ask CHATGPT yourself save your money.

This firm does not care about their client and here is my story. I chose FKKB because of their…read morewebsite touting their ability to handle high asset and complex divorce matters. My Husband and I had a start-up, formed in 2012, initially headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA. In Fall of 2014, my husband moved our HQ to Denver, CO. With teenagers and aging parents in CA, I had to fly back and forth, while my husband stayed in Denver. Our Company was our ONLY ASSET. In December of 2016, our company received a valuation of $4 billion. I filed for divorce in February 2017 due to a health issue caused by the toll of having to fly back and forth all the time. When I filed, I worked with another firm. But, by June of 2017, I realized that first attorney was out of his depth. Within 4 months of filing, I then switched to FKKB based on my internet search. My husband was an MBA JD, but never practiced law. I told FKKB that he was smart and that they needed to get a jump on him. As soon as I filed, I was fired from our company, which was standard. Instead of a good salary for part-time work, now, I received unemployment in the amount of $2400/mo. With the first Attny my initial spousal support award was $8500/mo, based on my husband's salary of $28,000/month. The Spousal Support order was not 'permanent', but could be modified. Within 6 months of hiring FKKB, my husband permanently stopped paying any spousal support at all, forcing me to move again for the second time since filing. Could FKKB see the error in the support order and move to make it 'permanent'. Nope. During the course of their representation, when FKKB finally requested financial documents from our company in Denver (the only asset we had), we received a letter from Denver counsel that we had no jurisdiction, there. FKKB failed by not immediately getting local Denver Co-Counsel. So the complexity, in part, required action in Denver, which FKKB never asserted. If they are 'sophisticated', they should have anticipated a jurisdictional issue. For the next two years, through a series of strategic maneuvers, my husband outplayed FKKB and dumped our company into the bankruptcy court in April of 2019, just so I would get nothing. He continues to work, but now has a newly formed company, of which I am not a part. That was the objective. I told FKKB what he would do. I was married to him for 17 years. I knew his M.O. In the end, I got nothing. Even the $250,000 in spousal support arrears were erased, because they were not made permanent. Though I am not sure a 'permanent' order would have solidified the arrears, I think it would have been harder to erase them, especially since he never filed anything to reduce them. I spent all I had on these attorneys, which might not seem like a lot of money, but with no support, I spent $165,000 in fees to FKKB. I ran out of money in December of 2018. In my last meeting with FKKB, Partner Rolf Kruger said to me that my husband was the worst guy he'd ever seen, and that if I wanted to get my millions, I should just write a book. So my husband, who is not certified in family law, and never practiced law, was much more sophisticated in a divorce matter than FKKB. My husband out-maneuvered FKKB. So what does 'Complex' mean on their website? To me, 'complex' means, 'no matter where the money is hidden, even internationally, we'll find it and get it.' How good were they? What did I get for $165,000? Not one thing. At 60, I returned to the job market just to pay my bills. In June of 2020 I had to represent myself in an in-person, 8-hour divorce trial. I phoned FKKB to ask if they would please read my trial brief, which I had written, and I would pay them for their time. I spoke to Rolf Kruger. He said, "No, we're done with this matter". Nice. I would never recommend this firm. They only cared about earning fees, and never took my best interest to heart . As a client, I am smart, respectful, and deferential. I am not unstable. I don't take any prescription drugs. I was not bothersome to them, except that even I could see how inadequate their representation was, especially with regard to Colorado, and tried to convey the urgency. My warnings fell on deaf ears, and my worst fears were realized.
