Divorce and Family Law Firm
Tucked away on the eastern edge of the Colorado landscape is a vibrant city east of Denver called Aurora.
Aurora is the third-largest city in Colorado and home to more than 400,000 diverse residents.
With the Rockies just next door, this mountain town delivers city living at a fraction of the hassle and the added bonus of a stunning backdrop.
Aurora is blessed with a high elevation and mountainous landscape that offer a flurry of outdoor activities to satisfy even the most adventurous of residents.
On the other hand, the Cherry Creek schools, excellent weather, and decent quality of life sustain a steady flow of young couples and families ready to set tent and call this beautiful town home.
Where Petrelli Previtera, LLC Come in
Like any other part of Colorado and the US, most Aurora families adjust their living arrangements from time to time.
For some people, living happily ever after may mean staying together for the rest of their lives; for others, it may mean separating and starting over altogether.
Unfortunately, divorce is not always as simple as packing bags and going separate ways. Divorce cues in several other complications, such as:
- Custody arrangements
- Asset division,
- Spousal support
- A ton of conflicting emotions.
Having an empathetic, experienced, and qualified separation lawyer makes a considerable difference compared to going through divorce alone.
And this is where Petrelli Previtera, LLC comes in.
Our lawyers bring combined decades of experience handling simple and complex divorces in Colorado. We have a proven track record of providing meaningful litigation and creating outcomes that make it easier to transition into the next stage of your life.
Besides preparing you for court appearance, telling you what to wear to court, and helping you fill out and sign relevant documents, other services you can expect from us are:
- Emotional Support
Our experience over the years has taught us the essence of going beyond the legalities of divorce to being allies and offering our clients an understanding shoulder.
Our lawyers will lend an empathetic ear, provide reassurance during challenging times, and help you eliminate the anxieties around the divorce process and, most essentially, the fear of the unknown.
- A legal Perspective
Divorce is very emotional, and in between the anxiety, fear, and conflicting emotions, it’s easy for the legal perspective to be blurred.
Most of the anxiety in divorce is caused by the lack of understanding of the processes that determine legal outcomes.
Our attorneys will provide strategic legal guidance and advocacy in a way that helps you eliminate anxiety, build realistic expectations, and best prepare for the new normal that awaits you after divorce.
- A Fight for Your Interests
Divorce is rarely a contest as most partners come to an amicable agreement with little involvement of the law. However, in instances where divorce goes the other direction, you need a skilled and unrelenting attorney to wear the gloves and put up a spirited fight for your interest.
The outcome of divorce lies significantly in how your views are expressed, and interests articulated, which can only be achieved with the help of an experienced legal team like that at Petrelli Previtera, LLC.
- Mediation and Negotiation
Navigating difficult conversations with your past partner requires a level of composure that most people don’t possess, especially when emotions run high.
