Biography

Meet David Littman — adoption lawyer in Denver

"I enjoy the challenge of resolving family law problems and the sense of mutual accomplishment I feel with clients when they can move forward with their lives. I really appreciate hearing from clients and knowing how they are doing long after our work together has been completed."

David Littman, a Family Law attorney, who is a highly experienced litigator, believes in utilizing Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques including Collaborative Law or Mediation, when possible, before turning to the courtroom to resolve family law disputes.

Understanding that litigation is far more costly than negotiated resolutions, David is sensitive to the preservation of your family’s financial resources.

Respectful and compassionate, he is a careful listener and an astute problem solver. He will help you explore your options and make the choices which will produce the best outcomes for you and your family. David’s goal is to help you gain the knowledge and provide the advocacy you need to restructure your life after a divorce or other Family Law matters.
