After 22 years of marriage, my divorce involved complex asset division, including a family business and multiple properties. The process was emotionally overwhelming, and I needed counsel who was not only legally astute but also deeply experienced in the nuances of Colorado family law. Robert Kendig was precisely that. His nearly five decades of practice, all with Garfield & Hecht in Aspen, meant he brought a profound understanding of both the law and the local legal landscape. He was direct yet compassionate, explaining every step with clarity and never sugarcoating realities. His recognition in family law is well-deserved; he strategically navigated negotiations, protecting my interests in the business while ensuring a fair settlement. What impressed me most was his ability to see the bigger picture beyond the immediate conflict, focusing on a resolution that provided long-term stability. The outcome was far better than I anticipated. For anyone in the Roaring Fork Valley facing a high-stakes family matter, Robert E. Kendig is the definitive choice. His expertise is unmatched, and his professionalism is the standard others should aspire to.
