What Our Clients Say
Joyce Baranovics
Osterman Law Firm is an exceptional place to do business. Everyone in the firm is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to help in any way. David accepted me as his client at a very low point in my life and helped me out of the hole I was in. His explanation of the legal process made it understandable to me.
David Van Pelt
David Osterman and his law firm provided comprehensive and friendly estate planning. Mr Osterman is very patient, detail oriented and thorough. He took extra time to understand my individual needs and "left no stones unturned" in creating my estate plan. His detailed explanations of the laws governing Trusts and Estates were very helpful and enlightening.
Sharon Michael
Dave first helped us with our estate planning over 20 years ago. As an unmarried couple, he was very understanding and helped us provide for each other and our respective family members and charities. He helped us again last year to update our estate plans. Recently he helped us navigate some legal questions as an unmarried couple in our senior cooperative. He was also very responsive to helping my partner's family through some legal issues during the last week of their mother's life. Dave and his legal team are very easy to work with and I would recommend him to my family and friends.
Sam Joseph
My wife and I have been in contact with Dave over the last ten years regarding estate matters. Most recently we have had our trust revised. Throughout the process Dave and his staff have been extremely knowledgeable in handling the revision and responded to all of our questions and concerns masterfully. They made the entire experience painless and moved us through it quickly. Throughout they were concerned that every contingency regarding the trust and our family was addressed. They were obviously concerned about our welfare and made sure that we understood all of the issues in the trust even if it meant going over some of them more than once. We so appreciated their patience.
Lastly, as we were finishing up Dave assured us that he would be there for us if we had questions or concerns in the future. It was nice to know that we would not be forgotten once the documents were signed.
We heartily recommend the Osterman Law Firm without reservation . Sam and Marianne Joseph

I have had the pleasure of working with Dave Osterman three times over the last dozen or so years. Families, and circumstances change -and his expertise and experience have been invaluable throughout these transitions. First, he is an excellent listener. He has the technical "chops" as well. His technical expertise, coupled with his gift for simplifying and clarifying the complex, provides a sense of security and comfort that you are getting excellence in both counsel, as well as documentation. I would highly recommend him and his terrific staff to anyone!
Doug Kahl
Dave and his team helped me with my estate planning, and they were fantastic. I really appreciated the way Dave would explain things to me; clear, easy to understand, and with potential benefits or consequences along the way. My plans are complete, and at my signing Dave reiterated how good my plan was. Dave’s staff were very prompt and helpful when it came to scheduling and following up with document access, etc. I will use them again, and recommend Osterman Law to anyone.
Mary Lou Maley
Osterman Law Firm was recommended to my by a friend and I'm so grateful! I knew that I needed to create an estate plan but didn't feel well versed in the logistics of it. Lewis walked me through it step by step and we talked through every possible scenario and made a plan to address it. I am extremely pleased with the estate plan and very much appreciate their assistance. Would recommend to anyone else looking for help in this area!
Lisa Schneck
My husband and I found David Osterman and his son Lewis to be exceptional estate attorneys. David is exceedingly knowledgeable, with deep experience in dealing with every kind of estate plan and every kind of client. He designed a plan specific to our somewhat unusual needs, and did so promptly, efficiently, and with good humor and professionalism. He and Lewis explain legal complexities clearly and completely, and take great care to ensure that clients understand all facets of their estate plans. David also presents every possible option and scenario, allowing clients to make the most informed decisions possible. The staff at Osterman Law are unfailingly responsive, courteous and thorough. We whole-heartedly recommend Osterman Law for anyone seeking estate planning services.
Levi Miller
My wife and I are in our 30s and about to have our 2nd child. We came to Osterman with a need for an estate plan, but without an idea of what we were doing. Lewis Osterman was friendly, professional, transparent, and a great communicator. Within a few painless (and at times even enjoyable) sessions, we got our estate plan, along with the guarantee of future support that his firm provides. We are very satisfied.
Mary Rutherford
My parents used the Osterman Law Firm for their estate planning, and I was so impressed with the quality of work, that I hired them to do mine as well. I was treated like family; with respect and patience. Never did I feel that a question or concern was too small for Lewis' time, nor did any email or phone call go without a prompt reply.
David, Lewis, Brenda, and Tanner are all extraordinarily professional, and yet have that special ability to put their clients at ease in what can be an emotionally sensitive activity.
Without reservation, I highly recommend the Osterman Law Firm.
Jami Coulter
We were recommended to the Osterman Law Firm for our estate planning needs, they were great to work with, helping to educate us throughout the process, making us feel very well taken care of and heard as we worked together to craft an estate plan that met our family needs. Would recommend to anyone.
Shelly Ponzi-Austin
Osterman Law Firm was recommended to me by a neighbor. I am so glad that I listened to the positive things she said. My Will needed to be updated and I did not have an estate plan. After meeting with Dave I knew I had made the right decision to have this done. Today was my Will signing and I had the pleasure of meeting Lewis, Brenda, and Tanner. The team feels like family. Five Star Plus! Thank You!
Ben Johansen
Dave Osterman did a thorough job on a joint revocable trust for me and my wife. At every turn, he was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter. His guidance on the personal decisions we had to make was incredibly valuable. Dave and his staff were very responsive to our calls and questions. I highly recommend the Osterman Law Firm for trusts or any other legal matter.
Beth Larson
We worked with Dave Osterman to develop and document our estate plan, inclusive of our will, advance directives and other essential aspects of our estate. Throughout the process everyone in the firm was professional, prompt and patient with us as we worked through this thought provoking process. Dave took time to listen to our intentions and provided great insights and guidance. We would highly recommend Dave Osterman and his firm for any family legal need. We feel very comfortable that our estate is in order and that the thoroughness with which the plan was put together leaves nothing to chance.
Grover Wrenn
My wife and I were referred to Dave Osterman when we first moved to Denver in 2007. We wanted to update our estate plan documents. Dave's advice and counsel was very helpful, and we were very pleased with the work products. We have sought Dave's assistance with other estate related matters in the years since our first encounter. Several members of our family have also benefitted from Dave's estate planning services, and we recently sought Dave's assistance in reviewing and updating our estate plan documents consistent with changed circumstances and desires. Once again, we were very pleased with Dave's advice. We were also pleased to meet Dave's son, Lewis, who has recently joined the firm.
Pete!
I was very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge. I walked in not knowing really what a POA was for and in the short time I was there I had a complete understanding. They were also cognizant of my situation and that I didn’t have a lot of time to stick around and chat. I was very impressed by their firm and will definitely be a repeat client.
Jung-Mi Vogt
Osterman Law Firm is very professional. Everything was explained in detail but in understandable language.
David Osterman asked very detailed questions about our wishes. It was apparent, even then, that he is very knowledgeable & wanted the best for us & for our desires to be documented. He then drafted our family trust. I was surprised at how easy it was! When we came into the office for final signing, all documentation was laid out for us in a very easy & clear fashion. David went over the entire documents before we sign it.
They did all of the heavy lifting for us and we would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering their trust or estate planning.
Fred Jun
I cannot say how pleased we were with this law firm. We were lucky enough to work with Lewis on getting our estate planning wishes in order. Lewis was amazing! Answered all questions, retuned phone calls in a extremely timely manner and made this just an overall great experience! Thank you, Lewis.
Steven Roseman
David Osterman prepared our estate plan and did an exemplary job. He is very knowledgeable, personable and provides first-class service, gathering the facts about our family, drafting our documents and explaining the function and effect of each item in our estate plan simply and concisely. I recommend him without reservation.

My wife and I had a great experience working with David Osterman and his team on developing a new estate plan. David took the time and care to clearly explain to us all of our estate planning options. After we made the decision which direction to go, David once again clearly explain each and every issue. We had a fantastic experience working with David!
melanie varnell
My husband and I recently completed our estate plan with Lewis and his team. The experience was seamless, professional, and educational. We have referred several clients that we work with to Lewis and his father, and it was great to witness all the positive feedback we have gotten from them for ourselves. We both would highly recommend Osterman Law.
John O'Dea
I am the second generation that has used the services of the Osterman Law Firm. They handled my father's final legal needs with professionalism and caring. When the time came for me to put together all the legal documents needed to take care of my own family, I immediately went to Dave. He put together a plan for both medical and financial needs, and guided us along each step. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that that our affairs are in order.
Katherine DiCintio
Dave Osterman has been my attorney for over 20 years. Through all these years he has provided thoughtful guidance and caring support in developing my estate plan and living will. Dave has patiently steered me away from making some mistakes and supported my “more informed” decisions. I am grateful for his kind assistance.
M Sargent
Lewis provided great assistance in getting out estate plan documents completed.
I interviewed several attorneys to find one I felt comfortable with and was giving me the information I needed. I spoke to a couple other attorneys prior to Lewis and after getting responses from a couple that did not sound/feel right, Lewis answered my questions in a way that gave me the assurance his firm understood my requirements.
Additionally I spoke to our financial consultant and he told me I had made the right choice and that he firm had encountered problems with estate documents prepared by one of the other attorneys I had spoken to previously.
Lewis took the time to explain all the documents he prepared and ensured that we understood everything. He definitely gave us the confidence that we now have the plan we need.
Jeni Kirkpatrick
Dave and Lewis gave us exactly what we needed/wanted to set up our wills etc. for all of our estate planning needs. They were efficent, professional and personable. Their fees were very reasonible. We appreciated their sound legal advice and are grateful for the peace of mind that having these documents affords us.
Donna Rowland
Highly recommend this Law Firm! We worked with Dave and his team for estate planning services. Dave, Brenda and Lewis were extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough and concise with information, direction and implementation with all legal documents and execution. We would not hesitate to refer this company for legal guidance!!
Mark McKinnon
Absolute top notch. David Osterman could not have been more helpful in walking us through the process, making sure we understood everything, and then got all out needs taken care of expeditiously and frankly not nearly as costly as we would have imagined for all their time and effort. I don't often have good things to say about lawyers, but David and his son Lewis are as good as they come. Not to mention their staff, especially Brenda Davis. And extremely nice folks to boot.
P Hernandez
The Osterman Law Firm was recommended to us for our estate planning needs. We met with Lewis and a single word to describe him is awesome. Lewis listened intently to what our needs were, then patiently answered all our questions. He smiled and stated, “I can certainly help you.” Lewis and his staff, made this sensitive process seamless.
I am so happy that we were referred to The Osterman Law Firm and without reservation we will refer them to our friends and relatives.
Debra Kolacny
I cannot say enough good things about David Osterman and his wonderful team! They were recommended to us by our accountant for estate planning and have totally lived up to expectations! Dave, Brenda, Ava and Louis are all knowledgeable and professional and yet very down to earth. They are very easy to talk to, kind and very helpful in explaining the ins and outs of our wills, advanced directives, power or attorney selection and everything that goes into a complete estate plan. They even helped us with some of the trickier bits of our situation and resolved them perfectly! We are extremely happy and we highly recommend the Osterman Law Firm!
Liz Bachman
Dave and his whole team were wonderful. Estate planning isn’t always an easy topic to discuss, but Dave was thoughtful, kind and thorough. He took the time to answer all of our questions and prepared a plan that covered all our bases and then some. He genuinely wanted us to walk out of his office with peace of mind, and we did.
Dave Homan
We've been working with the Osterman Law Firm for 16+ years. Dave and his team provided our original estate plan as well as needed updates as our family goals and circumstances evolved over the years.
Everyone at the company has always been professional and super easy to work with, providing excellent, timely service and guidance through the myriad of changes and questions.
We highly recommend them.

It was a great experience to work with Atty Lewis Osterman. He is professional, highly experienced and approachable. He came highly recommended.
Our initial meeting was impressive. There was no pressure to commit. He explained the process in detail and answered all our questions. We then provided him and his team with information relative to our trust.
The whole process was seamless. His team was knowledgeable, well organized and respectful. Phone calls were promptly returned. Our final signing was efficient and timely. We left with a comprehensive package with detailed instructions on the trust and we are very pleased with our estate plan.

Michele Reser
Last year my brother unexpectedly passed away leaving me as his Personal Representative. With the grief and loss that I was feeling and then having to handle his estate I was overwhelmed. David Osterman and Brenda Davis helped me step by step to navigate the entire process, from setting up probate, filing all of the necessary court documents, dealing with distribution of funds and the list goes on! I could not have gotten through this without them. Their professionalism and guidance are exemplary! I highly recommend The Osterman Law Firm.
Andrea DiSaverio
We have worked with Dave and his team for over 20+ years on estate planning for our family and have recommended his firm to our friends and family.
They explain everything from trust planning, tax implications and how to avoid probate. Professional attitude and responsiveness was key again for us.
Also the POA and medical documents were important to us to save our children from certain decisions when we are older.
Cannot emphasize the relieve to have our trust updated.
Thank you Dave and team.
Pete Goss
I recently used the Osterman Law Firm for my estate planning, and I'm very glad I did. It explored issues I had not even thought of, listened exceedingly well, and accurately captured my concerns in the legal documents prepared. The firm was professional, courteous, efficient, and careful to explain all matters it dealt with. I felt that Osterman Law was a good advocate for me, and heartily recommend the firm.
Brian Slater
A friend recommended Osterman Law Firm to me, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything, from the initial phone calls with Tanner and Sarah to the signing of the final documents, went smoothly and was stress free. Lewis was amazing to work with, he explained all of my options in a clear and concise manner and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. If you need assistance with your estate, definitely give Osterman a call.
William Welbon
What a great referral from my financial advisor! Lewis was great to work with doing our estate planning, that was long overdue. He’s extremely knowledgeable and speaks with great detail, yet he can explain it where it’s very easy to understand. Can’t recommend Lewis and his team enough… you won’t go wrong.
Charley Babb
David Osterman at the Osterman Law Firm is amazing. His attention to detail and his warm personable style of interacting with clients makes him an ideal attorney for estate planning services. We worked with David 17 years ago for the first time and just recently updated all of our documents. It was joy to work with him on both occaisons. My wife and I would heartily recommend him to anyone seeking assitance with putting together their estate plan.
Janette Dey
My husband and I put off creating a will for more than 15 years because we were "afraid" of thinking about what it means and what we would want. After a parent's passing, we realized planning for the future had made such a hard time much easier. We began our planning with Lewis, whose positive attitude and patience made the experience significantly less upsetting. Lewis patiently explained everything, and walked us through all our options.
I feel very relieved we've cared for our children, we've talked with our family, and we've decided what we want for the future. Lewis helped us feel much safer and prepared.
Kathy E
Based on a recommendation from friends, I had Osterman Law update my will, living will and powers of attorney. Dave is incredibly knowledgeable, asks the right questions, explains concepts and options clearly and patiently, is very focused and detailed-oriented, and charges a fair price. I was very pleased with the results.
John Tsikoudakis
The Osterman Law Frim is a top notch law firm to conduct business with. Dave visited with us and asked very detailed questions about our wishes. It was very apparent that he is very knowledgeable and wanted the best for us and for our wishes to be met. He was very patient with answering our questions and made it very simple and easy to understand things. When we came into the office for final signing all documentation was laid out for us and everything we were doing was very easy and clear understand. Lastly Dave was very up front about what he would charge us and when payments would need to be made. No surprise charges or bills and no pressure to move forward if we weren't comfortable. We obviously did move forward because of how transparent and professional the entire experience was. I highly recommend The Osterman Law firm. Good people and family run, you can't ask for anything better.

We're relieved to have this piece in place, and we're looking forward to an ongoing relationship with the Osterman team as our family grows and needs change.

I had neglected in updating my will and other similar legal documents for too long. Lewis Osterman was recommended by my lawyer son-in law and this nagging problem was soon solved. Lewis and his team did a great job in determining what I needed and getting everything in order for me. I couldn't be happier with the job they did for me!

During May 2024, Lewis Osterman of the Osterman Law Firm completed a full suite of 13 estate plans and associated documents for my wife and me.

We were referred to Lewis, which already started us off on the right foot. This team did not disappoint. From the organization from the front office, to the professionalism of the entire team. Lewis is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Truly a great experience and so happy to have gotten linked up with them. Would highly recommend!!
Buying, Building, and Living in the Abacos
Lewis and his team were thorough and knowledgeable. Lewis asked a lot of questions to better formulate a solution for our estate plan needs, options that best protected our assets, and generational planning. My wife and I interviewed a handful of estate attorneys and found Lewis to be an excellent communicator, patient, and well versed in this field. I would strongly encourage you to consider Lewis Osterman for your estate planning needs.
Dave karnell
We recently updated our estate plan with Lewis Osterman. All of our questions and concerns were fully addressed and the resulting finished plan meets our needs. In addition, his assistant was very proficient and helpful. I would definitely recommend Lewis to anyone who is contemplating putting together an estate plan or updating an existing plan. Lewis is a true professional who is personable, efficient and knowledgeable.
Steve Dobo
Turning 67 recently, I thought it was time to get my Trust in order. I got a referral from my exemplary Schwab advisor to check out Lewis Osterman. Lewis took me through the whole process with a very personal understanding approach, but also with efficiency. He worked within my timeline, and gave me a thorough understanding of all the different aspects to consider. We got through with a few in-person meetings and a zoom call, and I'm very happy to say that I've got my Trust done, which I had honestly procrastinated for across the years. I highly recommend Lewis for any of your legal needs- he is both personable, efficient and effective within a very reasonable price point. Thanks Lewis!
Dee Dee Curry
We have been using the Osterman Law Firm since 2002 when we first met Dave and his team, to start our Family Trust and Living Wills. He gave us the perfect documents that we needed. Now, 22 years later we just had everything updated. And again, everything was done perfectly, we made the necessary changes, guided by Dave's exceptional knowledge and experience. We are so very happy with everything. Dave is retiring at the end of the year, and his son Lewis, will be taking over the helm of this outstanding office. Everyone is so pleasant to work with, very prompt to return phone calls. We will miss you Dave, and look forward to working with Lewis in the future. Thank you again.
Ken Andow
I have been working with Dave and the Osterman Law Firm for the past 10 years. First, with an initial estate plan and then with an updated Trust. They have always been extremely knowledgeable, excellent with explaining different options and quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend the Osterman Law Firm for all your estate planning needs.
Dave Yedid
We had an incredibly easy, organized, quick, and stress-free experience with Lewis as our estate planning lawyer. Amber was so responsive by phone and email, they make a great team. Every step of the way, we had everything we needed and clear next steps. They made what could have been a daunting process so positive. Highly recommend!
MRF
Osterman Law Firm was recommended by a friend and we couldn't be happier with the services that Lewis offered. He and his staff were always available and always cordial. He walked us through the entire process and kept things easy to follow and understand with little or no "lawyer speak" but thoroughly explained terms and details along the way. He is genuinely friendly and approachable across the board; before we'd even finalized our project I'd already shared his name with a friend. Give them a call and get your affairs in order!
Stephen Luedders
Excellent Estate Planning. Thoroughly reviewed our options and professionally completed everything. Explained everything involved in the process and provided guidance for future efforts that need to be completed for finalization. Would certainly recommend Lewis and his staff for all of your estate planning needs.
Joanna Cook
I have been totally satisfied with Lewis, his knowledge, his attitude, his helpfulness, his concern to be thorough and work things out according to what was comfortable for me. Setting up a living trust was new to me and Lewis walked me through the process, carefully answering all my questions. Amber was always so friendly and helpful, too. I would not hesitate at all to highly recommend Lewis and his law firm.
Janet Jordan
We were seeking the necessary planning and guidance for a smooth transition of our estate. Louis Osterman prepared documents and answered all questions to make the process that fit our needs. The whole process was a step by step guidance to achieve that end. We could not have had a better outcome for what we achieved. We are left with peace of mind our transition will be successful.
Sue Lewis
We had a wonderful experience with David, Tanner and the team at Osterman Law Firm. The team was very responsive, easy to communicate with and generous with the education about the planning and documents we were executing. I will gladly be recommending them to friends and family seeing assistance with estate planning.
David Sprouse, Chief Technology Officer
David Osterman and his entire staff could not have been more helpful and "professional" in working my 98 year-old mother (his client) to insure her wishes and needs are met. He made an extra effort to assure her that he was working for her; that "she" was his client, not myself, her son, or anyone else. Superb service is hard to find these days, but Osterman Law is one of those services.
Deann Carpenter
My husband and I would highly recommend the Osterman Law Firm for estate planning. David Osterman and his dedicated team were able to take us through the whole process in a way that was both efficient and thorough, but easy to understand. We enjoyed the warm and professional atmosphere of this firm, which made our interaction feel personal, pleasant and reassuring. We are satisfied that our “affairs are in order” and are very grateful to have worked with them.
Holly Anthony
Working with Osterman Law Firm to prepare our wills was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked through the door, Lewis and team made us feel completely at ease. Estate planning can be daunting, but Lewis guided us through every step with clarity and patience!
He took the time to understand our unique needs and explained all our options in a way that was easy to grasp. What stood out most was his ability to combine deep legal expertise with a personal touch. The process was smooth and thorough.
We left feeling confident and secure about our future plans, and grateful to have found such a trustworthy professional. If you're looking for an estate attorney who truly puts your best interests first, I can’t recommend Osterman Law Firm highly enough!
