Twelve years in Denver courtrooms, most of them defending small business owners against oversized claims. Before starting Maren & Torres, she was a senior associate at Latham & Watkins. She grew up in Boulder and still thinks Colorado courts work better than anywhere else she's practiced.
Jav spent six years at a mid-sized firm doing high-stakes estate planning for Colorado families. He left to start Maren & Torres because he wanted to do the same quality of work for families who couldn't write a $50,000 retainer check. He still takes every case personally.
Every case is different. Past results don't guarantee future outcomes. But they do give you a sense of what we're capable of.

Every client goes through the same four-step process. No confusion about what happens next.
Thirty minutes, by phone or in person. You describe your situation. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and what it would realistically cost. No pressure, no retainer.
If we're a fit, you get a written engagement with a flat fee or predictable hourly estimate. No surprise invoices. You know what you're paying for and when.
Every week your case is active, you hear from us. No legalese, no "working on it" non-answers. What we did, what's next, what you need to know.
When your matter closes, we do a full debrief. What happened, what the outcome means, what to watch for going forward. The call is free and as long as you need.
The first consultation is always free. Thirty minutes, by phone or in person at our downtown Denver office. We use the time to understand your situation and tell you honestly whether we can help. There's no obligation to hire us afterward.
Depends on the matter. Estate planning, formation work, and contract review are almost always flat-fee. Litigation and complex employment matters are hourly. Either way, you'll get a written estimate up front and we'll keep you updated if scope changes.
We'll tell you in the first call, and refer you to an attorney we trust who does that work. We don't dabble outside our areas, and we don't charge a referral fee.
Yes. We hold emergency consultation slots every weekday and can usually meet within 24 hours for genuinely urgent issues. Call the main line and ask for emergency triage.
