Family Law Team


At Setter Roche Smith & Shellenberger, our attorneys are experienced and qualified to help you in any and all areas of family law and juvenile law.  Over the years, our attorneys have represented thousands of spouses, parents, grandparents, and guardians throughout the district courts of Colorado and in many tribal courts.  We understand the stress and difficulty of these types of actions, including the fact that many times the safety or custody of our clients’ children may be in limbo. Our attorneys do all they can to make a stressful situation straightforward and uncomplicated.
