Laurence I. Gendelman, Esq. was raised in the south Denver suburbs, attended Cherry Creek High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts in both Economics and Political Science as well as his Juris Doctor at the University of Colorado – Boulder.. Trained in a large family law firm, Laurence gained experience working with high-asset, high-conflict, and complex divorces and child custody issues. He also advocated for and advised clients regarding the division of complex financial assets including executive compensation packages and retirement benefits.. Inn 2016, Laurence transitioned his practice to probate, trust, estate law, working with a team of four other attorneys representing clients with estate planning, estate and trust administration, uncontested and contested guardianships and conservatorships, and probate litigation matters.. After gaining extensive experience in these practice areas and learning law firm management and operations, Laurence established Gendelman Law Group, LLC in 2017, where he represented clients in trust, estate, probate, and family law matters. In 2020, Gendelman Law Group, LLC and Klimas Law Firm, LLC, joined forces to create Gendelman Klimas, Ltd., which later merged to become Gendelman | Klimas | Edwards, Ltd., the firm Where Family is Everything..

In many family law cases, probate, trust, and estate issues arise. This can take the form of:- Creating rights for alternative payees of retirement plans in the case of the death of a spouse- a spouse dying or becoming incapacitated during the pendency of a family law case- addressing the allocation of parental responsibilities concerning a child with special needs- protecting a spouse’s family inheritance in a divorce proceeding- providing analysis of the treatment of trusts in divorce proceedings- planning for child support and maintenance obligations in divorce proceedings, in the case of the death of the obligor spouse.

His approach to cases is functional and utilitarian, with a tireless dedication to create outcomes that provide a net benefit to his clients. This approach makes Laurence a creative and effective problem-solver, allowing his clients to usually resolve their cases without the hassle of trial. However, as a trained litigator regularly appearing in contested hearings, Laurence is always prepared for trial when the circumstances so require.
