QDRO Colorado prepares QDROs for family law attorneys in Colorado. I offer personalized service. Here's my pledge to you: I will endeavor to respond to your e-mails and voicemail messages with 24 hours of their receipt. Your matter is handled solely by me- not a staff member.
Some family law attorneys make the mistake of using sample QDROs without making meaningful modifications- a dangerous practice. The family law attorney risks a malpractice claim unless all QDRO matters are addressed before the parties go to judgment. The only way to address all QDRO matters is to include language in the parties’ settlement or judgment and draft a comprehensive QDRO (best when entered with the judgment).
To best protect your clients, I suggest that you prepare your QDROs concurrently with the divorce proceedings and then simply incorporate the QDRO by reference directly into the decree or separation agreement. From a planning standpoint, one should be mindful of the time element involved in the QDRO process- especially the uncontrollable delays in the Plan Administrator preview process, which can sometimes take weeks. (See QDRO Process section). For this reason, it is highly recommended that the QDRO process be commenced as soon as possible in the divorce proceeding.
Each retirement plan is unique. It has its own requirements and nuances. Accordingly, a QDRO must be tailored to meet the participant and former spouse's specific needs in that unique plan. QDROs should be drafted by an attorney who has knowledge and expertise in the area of retirement plan. For that reason, many family law attorneys associate counsel who specializes in drafting QDROs. That's where I come in.
QDRO Colorado can help to reduce your own liability exposure when dealing with the "QDRO trap". For one low, flat-rate fee of $450 per QDRO ($550 when directly representing the client), you can rest assured that your clients' rights and entitlements will be fully secured. And our QDROs are guaranteed through approval. Should the QDRO be rejected by the plan administrator for any reason, we stay fully involved until it's finally accepted- at no extra cost to you or your client.
If you are a divorce attorney looking for an expert who can handle the sensitive and complex development of QDROs, QDRO Colorado can help. Call me today at (303) 623-9242 or Toll Free (888)QDRO-360, or e-mail us:
Using our QDRO preparation service is simple. Just call or e-mail me with your QDRO needs. Thereafter you will receive an e-mail attachment containing the engagement letter and QDRO worksheet listing all information and documents needed by me to prepare the QDRO. Once I receive all required information, a draft of the QDRO will be sent to you via e-mail attachment within 2-5 business days. You are kept fully informed throughout the entire process.
Make QDROs a Profit Center for Your Family Law Practice, Not a Dreaded Chore.
Many attorneys bill the cost of my QDRO services to their clients as a disbursement. In addition, some attorneys charge their clients for the time they expend on supervision and evaluation of the QDRO process I am hired to handle. The attorney will be advising or explaining the QDRO process to the client, providing my office with required information and documents, obtaining the approval of the opposing counsel or party to the QDRO, submitting the QDRO to the Court for signature by the Judge, and providing my office with a certified copy of the QDRO- all billable charges to enhance the profit of your law practice. In short, by using QDRO Colorado and my low, flat fee service, the QDRO process becomes a profit center for you and your family law practice.
(Important Note: When hired through the law firm to perform QDRO services as a contracted QDRO consultant, the fee is $450. When working directly with the client and filing the QDRO with the court- and paying any filing and certification fees- the fee for direct representation is $550.)
