I worked with Mr Fitzhugh multiple times over the years dealing with I have the UTMOST confidence…read morethat he had my best interest at heart and did what he needed to do in order to bring a satisfactory end to the issues he was handling for me. I have since dealt with him more than a few times over the years and will attest that he IS an honest, hard-working, dedicated attorney who has clearly established himself as a member of the Montrose community over MANY years. He is NOT RUDE, PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, UNPROFESSIONAL NOR IS HE NUMB to the feelings of those he is around...

I visited this firm on November 4th, 2021 for help with a home ownership concern. I spent 1 hour…read morewith Rodney Fitzhugh who reviewed a portion of my reverse mortgage documents after which he told me that he would mail me the documents I needed after 3 days. Today is the 17th and I still have not received the document. I called him 2 days ago and left message asking him about the document that he told me he would email me. He returned my call today. During our conversation today by phone, he implied that he could not clearly remember which option was the least risk for me. I then reminded him that I was there for one hour with him on the 4th and that he should have taken notes or a note reminding him of which decision he had made on my behalf and that he had a fiduciary obligation to me as his client to do so. He got upset at that and I got upset at him and told him he was an (expletive) after telling me that I should find another attorney. I strongly recommend those of you reading this review to find someone else to help you with mortgage concerns. When I first went in to see this guy, I vented about something that had nothing to do with him but with some other issue having to to do with my being a full time caregiver and his response to that was very unprofessional as well. He treated me like some young kid which I am not. Didn't show any sense of compassion for what I was talking about and I sort of knew at that point that this lawyer and I were not compatible but I paid him for my visit that day anyway. Very unprofessional with no regard for agreed upon timelines. This guy is an unfeeling, rude passive aggressive. Stay away.

I hired attorney Cody Knifer (#49661) to represent me in Montrose County case 2023CR204…read more During the case he had my exculpatory body-cam and video evidence -- he later sent me those materials on a flash drive -- but he never used them in my defense. He showed hostility toward me when I tried to recover my driver's license from the jail and failed to communicate clearly about my case or present my evidence in court. This experience reflected the same lack of accountability that has plagued the 7th Judicial District. I have filed a formal ethics complaint with the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel regarding his conduct. In my opinion, the public should review the disciplinary record carefully before retaining this lawyer.
