Jon is a true pro with laser-focus on the big picture and getting results. He is always solution-oriented.

The Datz Law Firm gave me incredible support on my issue with Broomfield Combined Courts. Jonathan Datz won a victory to support my positive outcome. He tirelessly worked to resolve several complications that arose during my case. Lynn Rutter gave me unwavering support as the firm's paralegal assigned to my case. During my "30+-year career" in the global supply chain, I've worked with many legal firms, attorneys, business professionals, and companies, including IBM, Google, NetApp, and many customers. If you need legal help, just put Datz Law Firm at the top if you want victory! Fantastic people. Tireless work ethic. Winners!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Jonathan and Lynn!

I had a wonderful experience. Datz Law Firm seemed to be OVERLY honest throughout the whole process and sometimes dealing with other big firms can be scary as I heard they can nickel and dime you for everything. That was not the case here. I worked with Kelly and she was an amazing lawyer and Jackie and Lynn were also extremely helpful throughout this process.

Jonathan and his paralegals, Jackie and Lynn, are the best of the best! They were professional at all times and incredibly knowledgeable. Jonathan immediately understood my goals, never wavered for a second, and empowered me to prevail. Jonathan and his staff were kind, patient, tolerant, and I couldn’t have been in better hands. If you end up in a courtroom, you want Jonathan representing you! Not all attorneys are amazing litigators and excellent at the day to day work necessary to get through a case. Jonathan is definitely who you want on your side!

This team is absolutely amazing! They accomplished more than i was anticipating in a very short amount of time. Jonathan is a very rare attorney. His knowledge, negotiating skills and integrity are second to none. His team is extremely accommodating and highly knowledgeable as well. I have worked with alot of attorneys and he is by far the best I’ve encountered. If you are in need of any legal services and Jonathan’s not at the top of your list, I hope the opposing party dosent find his information and retain him. You dont want to go against Jonathan in court.

This Lawfirm is beyond amazing! Kelly Toney and her team (Jackie and Lynn) will fight for you and will give you the best advise. They stood by me and protected me, when I needed it most. My case was very difficult and lasted almost a year, because I was in an abusive relationship with a child involved. They knew what steps to take and they let him fall in his own traps. Kelly was beyond calm and calmed me down the whole way. I can promise you, that you will cry less at night, knowing you have them standing behind you. They care about you and your children and they proved it many times to me. They wanted to protect us!!!! I recommend them 100%, worth every penny! Thank you all so much for what you’ve done for us. We couldn’t be happier!

While one is not a fan of having to have a court appearance, I have to say that if you do have to appear in one then this is where you should go for great representation. There knowledge of the law itself says a lot but they also have a great relationship with the court which created a peaceful environment for me during this stressful time. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thanks again Datz Law Firm.

This is the 2nd time I have had to use Jonathan and his team. The only term I can use to describe Jonathan and team is FANTASTIC. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Datz Law Firm. This time, I used the Datz team for a divorce. Jonathan and team were professional and responsive at all times. Jonathan helped me to stay focused on what was important and what could be let go. In a divorce, emotions often get in the way, and Jonathan helped me to avoid emotional outbursts. Jonathan had outstanding strategies throughout the divorce proceedings which placed us on a different, and definitely better playing field, then my ex. As a co-worker observed "you and your lawyer are playing 3-D chess, your ex is playing checkers." I felt like Jonathan and team kept me 2-3 steps ahead at all points in the proceedings. Jonathan's strategies ensured that we stayed above board at all times. In the end, I came out right where Jonathan and I discussed at the very beginning where I wanted to be. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Datz Law Firm for your legal needs. You will happy you did and you will not be pleased if you have to go up against the outstanding Datz team.

I highly recommend Kelly Toney at The Datz Law Firm. I needed assistance with my divorce. I did not know where to start, I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know which attorney to call, I had no idea what forms to fill out or what direction to take. I talked to several attorneys which got me more discouraged about the process. I decided to look for someone in Broomfield. That’s when I was fortunate to find Kelly Toney. Her awesome assistant Jackie, set up our appointments and made everything easy. I cannot say enough great things about Kelly. She was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, a great listener and was a true ally to my cause. Her experience and knowledge of the subject made me feel confident in the process. She was very patient, helped me through all the documents, answered all my questions, and she gave me solid practical advice. If you are looking for a true professional that you can trust and who will represent you to the fullest, look no further. Contact Kelly Toney. ~Tim Mansfield

Kelly Toney was put in the unenviable position of taking over my highly-contentious divorce case after my initial attorney had to withdraw due to personal reasons. Kelly was thorough, efficient and communicated regularly with me through the process. Kelly was recommended by my previous attorney who had litigated against her several times and always found her to be ethical and talented. She was correct on both counts. Kelly is a genuine person but talented at what she does. This divorce was complicated and emotionally charged. Kelly was able to reign in emotions and offer sound advice to me when it was needed but was also tough when appropriate. I felt comfortable with her from the beginning. I believe the outcome to be the best it could be given my exwife's insistence on throwing tens of thousands of dollars to attorneys to (in the end) gain nothing. I would highly recommend Kelly in any civil matter and her knowledge of criminal matters involving divorce were on point as well. Thank you Kelly...and thank you Datz law firm.

The importance of good legal counsel: I think ,when the majority of people are faced with legal matters they are so intimidated that they “ just want it to go away!”.... and usually will just sign anything to “make it” go away. I was faced with this very situation this past year in dealing with a business matter. In my 28 years of doing business , I had never been faced with this kind of thing and there could have been future ramifications if I would not have sought out professional counsel. In working with Mr Datz and his firm and carefully dissecting the contracts, stipulations, rules and regulations, and the intimacies of the intent of the law that govern my business, we were able to not only negotiate a better outcome for the business, but mitigate or protect the business from a future suit or liabilities regarding the result of the current agreement. Aside from providing excellent advice and counsel, Jonathan put our hearts and minds at ease. He reassured us that all things would be handled by him, and from that point forward our stress level was minimal knowing he was taking care of all the communications between the parties involved. I owe a debt of gratitude and am eternally thankful for the service and treatment that we received from the Datz Law Firm. I highly recommend this firm for their expert counsel, professionalism, integrity and generous and compassionate treatment of their clientele. Dave K

My sincerest thanks to Jon Datz and Mindy Wallace for handling my complex and time consuming case.

Many Colorado drivers associate DUI charges with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%. While 0.08% is an important threshold under Colorado law, having a BAC below that level does not necessarily mean a driver cannot face an alcohol-related driving charge. Colorado recognizes both driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while ability impaired (DWAI), and […]

A Louisville divorce can feel urgent when spouses are separating, dividing finances, or trying to establish a parenting schedule.
