Why Kalamaya | Goscha

Our business is personal. We only take cases involving highly personal disputes — divorce, personal injury, and criminal charges. No one wants to call a lawyer — but they’re damn glad when they call us. Our team focuses on one thing: fighting for people who are involved in the worst situations of their lives. There are no easy cases for us. But we do them well.

We understand the sensitive nature of difficult personal disputes and have established a reputation for handling even the most complex and contentious disputes with the utmost discretion. We are dedicated to maintaining the privacy of a diverse clientele.

Below are other ways we are different from the rest:

– We leverage cutting-edge technology to enhance our efficiency and accessibility. Among the many arrows in our quiver is video conferencing, AI-enhanced legal research, financial modeling and trial presentation software normally reserved for the largest law firms in the country.
– We bring extraordinary vigor and energy to every case. You won’t ever question whether this is just a job to us. We take on fewer clients than other law firms in Colorado. Each client is provided first-class service. Limiting the amount of matters we take on allows us to be more accessible.
– We take a holistic, team approach to each problem. Each case is reviewed from multiple angles.
– We are transparent about our fees and costs. We offer fixed or contingent fees in nearly all cases. Look around and you will not find any other local firm that publishes their rates online.
– Any lawyer can tell you how slick they are in the courtroom. We rely on what our clients say about us. There are over 100 testimonials about our work.

Testimonials

Aspen Attorney Georgina Melbye

Georgina was always available and very responsive to our needs and questions! She was very knowledgeable and patient when it came to explaining the, often confusing and complicated, legal process! We had the best possible outcome with Ryan and Georgina and highly recommend them!!!

-Carla

Ryan is very knowledgeable and experienced in matters of the court and the players involved. I could tell after our first conversation that Ryan is passionate about the law and getting the best result possible. My case involved very sensitive family issues and strange circumstances and he was very compassionate and extremely detail oriented. His honesty and trustworthiness helped me sort through my fear of being intimidated and lied about in a serious court setting. I would recommend Ryan many times over. Thank you Ryan.

-Lauren

When you act as a good Samaritan, your only wish is to be of assistance to others, particularly if you have a specific skill set that can aid in an emergency. We want to live in a world where we do not hesitate in helping others. For a select few, though, this means making the split-second decision in placing yourself in danger – and that was my husband. The outcome was shocking, horrific, and traumatic; not only for my husband but also for his colleagues (the local fire department) and our entire small-town community. This was a multi-car incident that required multiple emergency agencies to respond. My husband had been hit by a vehicle while rendering aid to an existing person – his condition was critical and we were thrust into a sphere of surgeries, medical bills and insurance claims as this was a complicated, multi-party accident scene. Our world had been turned upside down, we are a private couple and our lives were thrust into the public realm with local newspapers and state media; there was much to process and we needed help. We needed a law firm whom could help us navigate our way through this, not only with us, but quite often for us. The moment we hired Kalamaya | Goscha we could see that we could let go of all the legalities and focus on our own mental health and wellbeing and start our long road to recovery. We are indebted to them for the level of care and attention we received from them during this time. We can, without hesitation, recommend Kalamaya | Goscha to anyone whom requires integrity, sincerity and humility in a time of personal crisis.

-Scott & Fiona

I worked with Ryan and his very good assistant in the firm for 8 months dealing with a rear end collision. During that time I received timely notifications with a kind tone. Due to my accident I was not very clear or punctual but Ryan sorted out the facts and dealt with all the insurance adjusters and and medical bills so that I could focus on recovery. Once I had recovered, Ryan quickly wrapped up my case and sent me a nice check. With out Ryan’s help I would not have healed as well or as fast, nor  received compensation for this accident. Ryan is a my top recommendation for any personal injury case you may have.

-Kain

Ryan resolved a post-decree issue for me. I reached out by email and he responded within the hour. We had a phone meeting the next morning. Ryan is a very good listener, and asked the right questions. He can process lot of information very quickly. He was very clear about what we could and could not do. Within 24 hours, he had reviewed my documents. and we had a plan to move forward. His communication was extraordinary with all parties involved.

I was very well represented.

He resolved my case in 21 days. I got a better outcome than I expected. He thought of things that 3 previous attorneys missed. I wish i had hired him to handle my divorce from the beginning. It would have taken less time, and I would have gotten a better settlement with less drama.

-Cynthia
Great firm really on top of their game. Very communicative friendly and most helpful on giving me knowledgeable options for my case. I highly recommend giving this firm your business.
-Matthew

I was looking for a divorce attorney who knew their stuff but would not be contentious for the sake of it. It was my hope to settle and if not settle then to mediate. Amy fit the bill. She knew the law, was easy to communicate with and was reachable. She was straight forward and helped me to reach a settlement that secures my future. She was reasonable yet did not back down on the important issues.

Aspen Attorney Georgina Melbye

Georgina kept me updated throughout my case and was devoted to getting me the outcome that we had set out to obtain. Thank you Mrs. Melbye!!!

-Marjorie

5 stars Ryan helped me through an accident involving a drunk driver with multiple serious injuries, including myself. He made the process very easy and kept me in the loop the entire way. Not to mention, Ryan helped me get a great settlement for all of us. If you are in the Aspen/Colorado area, he’s your guy.

-Henry

My ex-wife came back at me 3 years later for more. I engaged Ryan Kalamaya. From the beginning he accurately predicted the outcome, and his strategy was just right. It was a long slog, because her lawyer stalled and dragged out every bit possible, but in the end Ryan succeeded, the judge denied her case, and she settled. Throughout Ryan gave me sage advice. He also helped keep my bill from growing too much, and correctly advised me not to bother with unnecessary things that I would have done, but they’d only have wasted time and money. All in all it was an awful experience being inappropriately attached with exaggerations and untruths, but putting my trust in Ryan’s knowledge of the system, kept me going, and in the end things worked out as best as possible. I would clearly recommend him to anyone needing help on divorce matters. He knows the law. He quickly learned the many details of my case. He’s really good at making computers work well. At one point she gave the opposite answer to a question she’s answered 2 years earlier, and on the fly during the trial, he was able to quickly search through a 1,000 pages of documentation find that page of her old testimony and confront her with it. Ryan is a great, well-rounded guy, and I’m extremely glad I engaged his services. I can’t speak more highly of him.
