Founding Attorney

Brandi M. Petterson

After 14 years of specializing in family law and divorce matters, Brandi Petterson has gained extensive, invaluable experience across all of the jurisdictions in the Denver Metro area, as well as several mountain counties, and both north and south of the Metro area. She has successfully litigated countless high-asset divorces and complex child custody matters.

Brandi founded Colorado Divorce Law Group to focus on her vision and the need to assist the “whole client,” not only to help them successfully maneuver their way through their particular family law case, but to rise above the difficult challenges and build a better future through the adversity. Prior to founding Colorado Divorce Law Group, Brandi was a Partner/Owner of a well-respected family law firm for 6 years.

Unique to Brandi’s practice is her keen ability to focus exclusively on her clients. She pursues their interests as if they were her own, while coupling over a decade of experience, to reach a successful representation. At times, it may be in the client’s best interest to settle a case through mediation or other negotiations. Of course, when settlement is not an option, Brandi is an experienced litigator in all courts surrounding the Denver Metro area and beyond.

Each family law and divorce case is different. Some require numerous experts to address financial and parenting issues, and some are incredibly amicable.

Brandi knows that when it comes to family law and divorce matters, the details can make or break your case and she has fine-tuned her practice in this regard for the past 12 years.

Families can take various forms. They are ever changing, whether it be through the addition of a child, divorce, change in custody, passing, or the like. In times of change, trust will be the cornerstone of any attorney you may employ to represent you. Brandi feels that trust is earned in every case, which she builds through knowledge, experience, voice, action and persistence.
When not advocating on behalf of her clients, Brandi enjoys all that Colorado has to offer, from the lakes to the mountains to family and friends.
