Joshua C. Sauer

Joshua (Josh) C. Sauer has represented clients in various types of domestic relations cases since 2003. In 2023, Josh joined Harrington Brewster Mahoney Smits, P.C., as of counsel to expand on his desire to emphasize various forms of alternative dispute resolution without compromising his capacity to litigate cases when necessary. Throughout his career, Josh successfully litigated many complicated and contentious marriage dissolutions and similar disputes when the possibility to achieve an out-of-court settlement proved infeasible.

Josh recognizes that a dissolution of marriage and similar domestic legal disputes are highly emotional and fraught with negative consequences for families. Josh works hard to reduce the contention and hostility in family law cases, without backing off his clients’ important objectives and desires for their case.

Josh has successfully represented hundreds of clients through a difficult time in their lives to achieve positive results for them. Josh’s proven approach is to listen to the needs and goals of his clients, and then pursue those goals as if they were his own. Every family is different, each with its own unique needs and characteristics. Josh receives consistent feedback from his clients acknowledging his commitment to their case and that they have been reassured by his guidance through each step of the legal process. 

Josh is also committed to reducing the negative impact of domestic relations disagreements on the parties and their children. Accordingly, Josh is also available to serve as a neutral third party for cases requiring a skilled practitioner to facilitate mediation or arbitration where the parties already have counsel or one or both have chosen to proceed without counsel. Similarly, Josh is available to serve as a Parenting Coordinator and/or Decision Maker in cases where those services are necessary and appropriate.

Josh was born in Fort Collins, Colorado and grew up on a family farm just outside of Loveland, Colorado, where he learned to appreciate the value and importance of hard work and self-motivation. Josh’s three brothers and one sister and two outstanding parents have contributed to Josh’s decision to practice family law, and represent clients in an effort to empower them to move forward with a family structure that will keep their children in a thriving environment. A divorce does not need to mean any less of a quality and loving environment for children.
