Harmon Zuckerman @ Frascona, Joiner, Goodman & Greenstein gave me excellent advice and legal expertise in an access issue battle on land in Sunshine Canyon. The guy knows his stuff and has a sense of humor. I highly recommend him (and the firm) if you find yourself in a similar unfortunate situation.

I worked with Michael Smeenk for estate planning and was really impressed. He knows his business well, is enthusiastic, and cares about his clients - not to mention, I was pleasantly surprised how fair and ethical the billing was. In the past I have worked with attorneys only to be disappointed with inflated costs and sub-par service.

Going through our divorce process is one of the hardest and most emotional experiences I have ever had. After my x-spouse engaged a law firm I felt the need to do the same. I ended up with the most remarkable Dream Team of Brittaney D. McGinnis, Christine J. Hickey, and Gregg A. Greenstein. After getting to know them better I decided to have Brittaney run my case. Quite a gamble, as she was up agains my x-spouse's very expensive lawyer with 20 years of experience, but my intuition proved absolutely right. As in the Pepsi/Coke war, the slogan "We Try harder" has never been more true. Brittaney was like a lioness during this whole process, really looking after me. Not only was she a remarkably professional, effective, and unbelievably responsive lawyer - she brought integrity, compassion, and understanding to the process and I always felt understood and listened to - and I was not an easy client. I know Brittaney & team were extremely busy with other cases, but it be evenings, nights, or mornings, Brittaney always found time to respond and guide me in a way my X-spouse never got to experience. I truly felt like I was their only client for the 8 months the process lasted! My X-spouse and I finally came to an agreement before going to court. I always felt Brittaney & team tried to support me in making this happen, while I had the clear sense my X-spouse's lawyer did anything she could to drag it out and ultimately bring it to court, while the invoices kept coming. Throughout the process my X-spouse started to feel the same about her representation, and I don't think there could be a more powerful compliment to my Dream Team, when she stated: "If I was ever to go through a divorce again, I would hire your Dream Team". Thank God I would not be on the receiving end if that was ever to happen again:-). As my X-spouse and I went through the final stages of our settlement, she asked me if we could just use my Dream Team, and eliminate her lawyer.
I will always remain extremely grateful for the way these people stuck with me all the way through the divorce process.

Several years after I had a home go into foreclosure, I started getting statements from a mortgage company that had carried my equity line of credit. I thought that it had been so long that it was past the statute of limitations. However, I started getting very anxious that I would be liable for repayment of this mortgage. I began researching statutes of limitations on line and found an article written by Mr. Mike Smeenk. I decided to call him for a consultation. I spoke at first to Julia Occhuizzo who patiently listened to me as I tried to explain my problem and concerns. When she thought she understood she told me that she would set up a phone consultation with Mr. Smeenk. She sent me an email outlining the documentation they would need from me and confirming a phone consultation time. At the time of the consultation Mike ( that’s how he introduced himself ) was very professional, clearly had read all the material I had sent him and much to my relief confirmed that It was past the statute of limitations. He explained ,as he wrote in his article, that I had the letter of acceleration, which I had received seven and a half years ago from the bank, which is the key peice of documentation that starts the clock on the six year statute of limitation. He outlined my options in contacting the bank and I felt very comfortable in letting him handle the situation. I would highly recommend both Mike and Julia. I would also highly recommend reading his article Statute of Limitations on Colorado Home Loan Default which can be found on the firms website.

My husband and I were dealing with an Oil and Gas Land man that was extremely pushy. We needed to make sure we were protecting ourselves and property before signing a land lease and Zac was so knowledgeable and helpful with our situation. He handled everyone of our needs. Terrific experience with Zac in a very stressful situation.

We worked with Michael Smeenk for our estate planning. He was wonderful in walking us through the process and answering any and all of our questions. He worked with us on our tight timeline and had everything done I time. As for cost, they seemed to be pretty comparable to other firms. I highly recommend him and know that our family has used another attorney in the firm, whom was also good. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Attorney Michael Smeenk is amazing! He has assisted me with several issues requiring an attorney, all with beyond expectation results. I am now working with him for my estate planning. There is no other firm I would trust in all of Colorado. FJG&G is the best firm to work with for all of your legal needs.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with FJGG. I was wary initially after having a poor experience with a different real estate lawyer, but FJGG was very understanding of my tight budget and was careful not to put in more work than I expected. Zac Grey's communication was efficient, professional, and very prompt. He was also extremely knowledgeable about mineral rights and made me feel very comfortable with moving forward with my property purchase!

I worked with attorney Zac Grey and paralegal Julia Occhuizzo on a real estate and business acquisition matter in early 2019. I was incredibly pleased with the responsiveness of Zac and Julia throughout the entire process. They were professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and also completely transparent their billing process. I highly recommend Frascona Joiner Goodman & Greenstein.

I hired Michael Smeenk to represent me in a For Sale By Owner real estate transaction on a property in Lafayette, in which which I was the buyer. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and was easy to work with. Both he and his paralegal Julia, were on top of everything. Nothing slipped through the cracks during what turned out to be a long and slightly complex transaction. Mike's previous experience in the mortgage industry also was a huge help as he was able advise me on things that needed to be discussed with or requested from my lender. Mike and Julia were always available or quick to return emails/voicemails when I had questions and created contracts that covered every angle of the real estate transaction. I'd highly recommend hiring Mike and Frascona Joiner Goodman & Greenstein for your next real estate transaction.

Deciding to get a Divorce was a tough thing. I had now idea what I needed to do. A friend recommended FJG&G to me. He know I want a Fair, straight forward and Honest attorney. Which was what I got from the time I walked in. My team off, Brittaney, Gregg and Christine were open about the process and advised it was not going to be pleasant, but everything would be done right and complete. They were professional all the way through. They would not play down to the level of the other side and present several fair settlements which were turned down. Unfortunately it had to go to court. Brittaney prepared me and put a strong case together and in the end I could not be more pleased. The professionalism was far beyond my original expectations. I would recommend them for any law services they cover, if you want a firm that will make sure everything is cover, thoroughly.

I discovered Frascona Joiner Goodman and Greenstein PC though a referral from a real estate agent with whom we were working. Our need was the establishment of a trust as well as other real estate matters.

After reviewing their website, I contacted Michael Smeenk, a partner of the firm. Michael responded quickly to my request, and we scheduled a call discuss the firm's capabilities, his practice areas and expertise, and I outlined our needs.

Michael walked me through his estimate of the cost of his services for the outlined scope of work and a timeline to completion.
I was very impressed with the professionalism he and his team exhibited, the quality of work, and meeting the deadlines to which we had agreed.

I can highly recommend Michael Smeenk and his firm for legal services without reservation.

My husband and I recently purchased a condominium in Denver and I contacted Joiner Goodman and Greenstein to have an attorney review the contract, the title commitment, and other aspects of the transaction for the sole purpose of gaining piece of mind in what is for most people the biggest investment that they will ever make in their lives. I worked with the attorney Zachary Grey who specializes in real estate transactions. I cannot say enough about the quality of the service that I received from him. He was able to answer all of our questions, alleviate any concerns that we had that were ill-founded, and he also identified some details of the title that needed to be changed in order to protect our interests. The title company gladly made those changes. In addition to his thoroughness, we valued his responsiveness and his ability to translate legal terms into a language we could understand. Working with him was money well spent and I would highly recommend the use of an attorney - this attorney - when purchasing a home.

Part of Oliver's legacy is the good message from advanced real estate contracts training...

The additional truth is that any firm can dominate in litigation with enough paralegals generating paper the competition simply cannot afford, and it is not unethical to make sure your client gets everything they deserve clarifying, clearer, and clearer, everything; every word, every comma needs to be examined, judicially.

I highly recommend Cinthia Manzano and her associates. They not only know real estate law, they researched case law to support our position. Cinthia listened well to better understand my situation and then defended me fiercely! I am extremely grateful to have had them on my side.

35 years in real estate You meet many lawyers and law firms. Hindsight being 20/20, I wish I had started with Frascona Joiner Goodman & Greensein. Michael A. Smeenk has provide outstanding legal support and advice over many years. A individual with the highest integrity and competence. A problem solver with what I call "outstanding bed side manners." Meaning he listens and communicates in a manner that brings resolution quickly and positively.

I found Karen Radakovich to be very professional, easy to work with and thorough. I was not sure, going in, that I needed a lawyer but in the end she not only helped me with the problems I was having with the condominium homeowners association but went the extra mile for me. Karen did her research into an older unrelated issue and found that some legal issues concerning my condo from years before had been settled in my favor. I was never notified and had no idea. It was a little complicated, at least to me, but the short of it is her research found that the condo belonged to me instead of the bank as I had previously believed. In my opinion, I cannot speak highly enough of Karen.

As a real estate professional and in my personal life I've worked with this firm and specifically Mike Smeenk for years. Mike responds right away, avoids "legalize" and writes in such a clear and concise fashion that I have complete confidence in his direction and advice. Although our businesses are a few hundred miles apart, FG&G and Mike Smeenk are where I turn when I need quality legal advice.

Gregg Greenstein and Sylvia Brownfield have worked with us for two years and have consistently demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, concern for the success of our litigation, and sensitivity to cost and time. Their thoughtful and accurate legal advice, along with Christine Hickey's terrific follow-through, has been invaluable to us. We recommend them, and this firm, without hesitation if you're seeking a quality family lawyer.

Cinthia came very highly recommended. I hired Cinthia on a recommendation of my realtor due to issues with the builder who would not complete warranty items. I was met with opposition and lack of cooperation from the builder. As soon as I hired Cinthia the tone changed dramatically for the good. She is very professional, knowledgeable about real estate, very good listener, reviewed a number of documents I had provided was very thorough about them and took action. It was a pleasure to deal with an attorney who knows the real estate law as well as she does. I always felt that I was in good hands. It was very difficult with the builder and she did not back away from them at all. As it turned out all warranty items and more were completed by the deadline she had given the builder and their attorney.

I have used Cindy Manzano from this Law Firm on several occasions for real estate related items. She has been nothing short of great to work with. She has kept in contact with me and informed of everything that was going on. I was truly impressed with her professionalism and scope of knowledge. I would recommend her and the Law Firm to anyone!

I hired this firm to write up a simple contract that should have taken about a week, if that. Instead the attorney kept sending emails, calling, etc. and running up a bill. To date the bill is almost $1500.00. Finally he sent a copy and the Promissory Note was correct in that it didn't allow over 10K. The deed of trust on the other hand was also written at 10K when I was owed 155K. This was sloppy and wrong. I'm just glad I didn't have it signed and notarized!

After giving the $500 deposit(for $275/hour) Ben Daniels met with me for 40 minutes(after being 30 minutes late). After not moving forward, Ben had nerve to charge a total of ~$625 despite not doing any more work than initial 40 minute meeting and writing 1 quick email in response to a call. Would not recommend.

I live in Northern Virginia, and needed a knowledgable and skilled real estate lawyer in the Denver area. I spoke to many attorneys that supposedly handled real estate law in Denver, but never found one that knew what he was talking about when it came to executing a Partition order, except for Jordan C. May, Esq. I filled-out the company's form online, and that same evening on his way home, Jordan called me, and was very empathetic, and concerned about my personal situation, and quickly developed a first-step scenario to help with my situation. It was clear to me that Jordan is very, very smart, and has a keen insight into human dynamics, and paired with his real estate experience, he is certainly an attorney I would highly recommend. I would also like to compliment his special assistant, Brenna, who was extremely responsive to my calls and emails.

We hired Cinthia Manzano of the Frascona Joiner firm to file suit against a construction contractor for a latent defect in construction of our property. The issues were complex, including possible time barred defenses, issues of proof and other matters that complicated our case. She was thorough, professional and tenacious. She has a command of Colorado construction and litigation law that saved time and outmaneuvered the opposition. Her deposition techniques completely flummoxed the other side and its witnesses so that we essentially proved our case via their testimony. She also was instrumental in assisting us in hiring the best expert witnesses that we could have so that there were no holes in our case that. She 'won' virtually all of the motions that were presented to the judge, again completely overwhelming the other side with her preparation and presentation. After almost 2 years of stonewalling and delay by the other side, we achieved a settlement where virtually all of our claims were paid in cash. Cindy was aggressive when she needed to be, but tempered when that called for, exhibiting a sense of when to push and when not to. She counseled us along the way so that our expectations were always managed expertly. We have the highest praise for the job that she did and were absolutely satisfied with the result, the cost of getting there and the attention that we received from Cinthia. We can recommend her without reservation.

Jordan May helped me with a real estate issue with my landlord about a month ago. The issue was taken care of fast and very professionally. He helped alleviate the stress I had been dealing with the situation, and I got a great result because of his knowledge and help. I would HIGHLY recommend Jordan as your attorney for any real estate issues!

John Goodman assisted a client of mine as they worked through a complicated real estate transaction. Everyone was working on executing a contract that didn't follow the regular guidelines. The Buyers, who I represented, were from outside of the United States. Their system of buying property is very different than ours, as well as the languages. John worked diligently on communicating with the Buyers as well as helping them find the best resolution for the issues.
