About Michael Thomas
Michael Thomas Allen practices family law in Colorado. He is based at Moran & Associates Family Law, where he advises clients on matters that touch on family relationships and the legal issues that follow. He works in a field that often involves sharp emotions and practical puzzles. He approaches each file as a discrete problem to be solved.
Allen’s path into law is reflected in his daily work rather than in public honors or headlines. He represents individuals in matters such as divorce, child custody and parental responsibility, child support, and spousal maintenance. He handles both negotiated settlements and contested proceedings. His caseload includes drafting pleadings, preparing parenting plans, and handling the evidentiary and procedural tasks that family courts require.
In the courtroom he appears for hearings and status conferences. He also spends considerable time outside the courtroom preparing documents and speaking with clients. That preparation often means reviewing financial records, coordinating with other professionals, and mapping out practical options for clients facing short- and long-term consequences. He also participates in settlement discussions and alternative dispute resolution when those avenues match a client’s goals.
Clients say they value clarity. Allen works to explain legal steps in plain language and to set realistic expectations about timing and likely outcomes. He aims to keep communication steady through what can be a fragmented process. He balances pragmatic objectives—division of assets, custody arrangements—with attention to the procedural details that move a case forward in Colorado courts.
Professionally, Allen maintains current membership in legal associations relevant to practitioners in his state. He follows developments in family law that affect parenting standards, child support guidelines, and enforcement mechanisms. He integrates those updates into how he structures cases and advises clients.
He continues to practice at Moran & Associates Family Law in Colorado, handling family law matters and representing clients in both negotiated and contested settings.
