Colorado Family Law Attorney
Client-focused litigation from Denver to the mountains
Licensed since 1991.
In 35 years of practice, I've guided Colorado families through divorce, custody, support, and protection matters. Not as a generalist fitting family law into a broader caseload, but as an attorney who has never practiced anything else.
At Pesch Law Office, low volume is intentional. I keep my caseload small so every client gets my full attention. When you call, you reach me. When your hearing comes, I'm the attorney standing beside you. That's not a promise most firms can make, and it's the only way I know how to practice.
I serve clients across Colorado, with a Denver office at 730 17th Street and virtual consultations available statewide, including Summit, Eagle, and Grand County families who deserve the same depth of representation as clients in the metro.
Legal Help for Every Stage of a Family in Transition
Whether you're at the beginning of a divorce, navigating custody after separation, or returning to court to enforce or modify an existing order, I can help. My practice covers the full arc of Colorado family law.

Post-decree modifications of parenting time, decision-making, and support, plus contempt proceedings when orders aren't followed.
What Our Clients Are Saying

Real experiences from families we’ve helped
Susan is absolutely a powerhouse. She help my husband and I after going rounds and rounds with other attorney’s get justice for our family. Our court case went on for 6 years with no resolve. Literally in and out of court until Susan came in. She has been the breath of fresh air and hope in a hopeless situation! Thank you so much Susan for being light in a very dark situation! We can’t thank you enough!
Jamie S.
Susan was my attorney in my divorce/child custody case. She had my children's best interests, as well my mine, as her top priority; I had my full trust in her. Susan was always well-organized and fast thinking as my case had several ups and downs. She was more than just my Attorney, I know she cared for my well-being and delivered on the results I needed!
