It’s not easy doing estate planning and Trish Mahre walked us through the process explaining everything. We have all the documents needed for us and our family. We couldn’t be happier.
We had a great experience working with Mahre & Mahre for our estate planning and family legal needs. We initially thought we knew exactly what we needed, but she took the time to really understand our situation and explained that a different approach would better protect our family. She was absolutely right. She helped us with everything from our house to power of attorney and made the entire process clear and manageable. Throughout it all, she was professional, kind, and genuinely focused on making sure we got exactly what we needed—not just what we thought we wanted going in. We truly appreciated her expertise and attention to detail, and we feel much more confident about our plans moving forward. Highly recommend her services.

Chris was very thorough when discussing the process. His clarity in explaining legal terms and requirements made our understanding smooth and the decisions we had to make less stressful.

My husband and I now have our estate plans and the trust in place for my child. I highly recommend this personable, knowledgeable attorney who will guide you through your estate planning with ease. His prices were beyond reasonable. The support staff is wonderful as well.

Danny and Paula here. We needed a will prepared , first meeting we gave him our needs, second meeting he and his crew had it all prepared and reviewed. Great job.
Very thorough and professional!
I first went to Chris regarding probate after my mom passed away. I was very impressed not only by his professionalism, but also his patience and how explanatory he was. I recently went back to Chris to have a will prepared for me. He took care of seven different documents all included in his extremely reasonable pricing. Chris took the time to explain each document to me and ensure I completely understood each one. The staff at his law office are very kind and helpful. I highly recommend Chris and his office to anyone seeking legal help.
Great service
We needed an updated will, but Chris provided us with a complete Estate Plan that covered all our needs, addresses all aspects of CO estate law that apply to us and maximizes the inheritance to our children. His prep time was reasonable as was the cost. We cannot recommend him more highly.

Busy Lawfirm but they get back to you in a timely manner. Great people to work with - Chris and all of his staff are great to work with.
I am so grateful for Chris Mahre and his associates. They settled a very difficult probate situation after my husband passed. I am now using their firm to make sure my interests are secure in the future. I could not recommend any firm more. They are very compassionate and truthful to their clients and more importantly know the law and work hard to represent their clients.
Chris and his staff assisted us in having an estate plan drawn up for my parents under very difficult circumstances and have been persistent, informative, and helpful above and beyond what could be expected of an attorney’s office.

Great service and advice on my will.
Chris and his staff were very helpful to us when we moved to Grand Junction and realized we needed to update our wills, since we were coming from another state. When we were debating some changes, he suggested a couple of alternatives that proved just right for our situation, and his patience and good humor eased the difficulty of dealing with the unpleasant subject of making end-of-life decisions ahead of time. We would definitely recommend his office to friends who are searching for family legal assistance!
Chris did a excellent job in court for me definitely would recommend him he earned a a++++ thank you Chris for all your help
Handled my step father's estate. Very professional and with reasonable cost. Highly recommend.
Brendan Reilly is a wonderful family law attorney. He was always very professional and personable. He was very knowledgeable, upfront and honest with me and helped me find the best solution that worked while keeping my worries in mind. Previous attorneys I have had could not compare to Brendan. He used his time on my case wisely so I was not over paying. He would always get back to me in a reasonable amount of time even though he had multiple other cases he was working on he always found time to make sure he would answer my questions as well.
I would like to thank Brendan Reilly at Chris Mahre & Assoc. for helping me resolve my family issue.
Chris Mahre has represented me for about ten years. Chis represents the highest in integrity. I never questioned his recommendations. I commend him for sticking by me during a most difficult lawsuit which in the end we achieved the goal. He is personable and very honest about your road ahead. Thank you Chris for all you have done for me.
I am happy with everything Chris has done for me, regarding trust, wills, investments and deeds of trust.
Handled my father;s estate - Chris Mahre is professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and a fierce advocate for justice. I became acquainted with Chris five years ago after my father passed away. He started out handling the estate proceedings. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the proceedings became extremely protected. We endured a lawsuit and then attempts to collect a judgment against the person causing the lawsuit. I am so thankful that my father used his firm to make his will and thus, brought Chris into the situation. I feel that Chris did everything within his power to bring about positive outcomes. I can't say "thank you" enough for all he did.
He was vey pleasant and patient and through. He did our estate planning. He gave us plenty of copies. He was also very careful to give us what we wanted.
Mr Mahre is very nice. He did a great job and explained the fees for my case. He answered all my questions and produced what I needed. At the signing he immediately corrected some small details. I would recommend him.
Mr. Mahre knows his stuff. He is assertive. He is honest. I'd hire him again in the same situation.
He did a good job handling my Will.
Chris Mahre Will Experience Very detailed explanation. I was a little confused at first, but figured it out.
Estate My experience with Chris was great.him and his staff are great.they made a difficult time go smoothly. I always hear how evil lawyers are.my passed experience with Chris has changed that lawyers do what we hire them to do it cost alot to alot to run a office. I am so glad I found Chris I am no longer afraid of lawyers they do there job well. If you want the best call Chris.
Had an issue with a seller trying negate an initial agreement to purchase her real estate. I made an appointment with Chris and we went over my situation and was advised on how to handle the situation. We did as recommended with Chris and the seller decided to agree to the initial terms of the original contract. Without Chris' guidance I think i may have walked away without disregard. Best money I spent for a consultation.
Personal Injury claim and Estate Planning I hired Chris to assist me with a personal injury claim. It took the full term to statute of limitations to reach a settlement, but his diligence, perserverance and patience ultimately brought about a more than satisfactory result without need for litigation. Once settled, the Firm assisted me with updating my personal estate documents and records. II highly recommend Chris Mahre and Associates!
I consulted with Chris on some issues with a trust. He pointed out issues I never considered and helped me plan how to address them. He is very knowledgeable and gave me the advice I needed to hear.
