I hired Marlana Caruso to represent me in a complex and emotionally charged divorce involving significant assets and a contested parenting plan. From our initial consultation, it was clear she possessed a deep understanding of Colorado family law. Her background as an accomplished litigator was evident in her strategic approach; she was always thoroughly prepared for hearings and negotiations, which gave me immense confidence. Her recognition in family law is well-deserved, as she navigated the intricacies of property division and spousal support with precision. What truly stood out was her ability to balance fierce advocacy with genuine compassion—she never lost sight of the human element amidst the legal battle. The one area where I sometimes felt a slight delay was in email response times during particularly busy periods, though her paralegal was usually quick to acknowledge receipt. Overall, Marlana and the team at Altitude Family Law provided exceptional guidance. While the process was arduous, having her expertise in my corner was invaluable, and I felt well-represented at every turn. I would confidently recommend her to anyone in Littleton facing a high-conflict family law matter.
