Hunnicutt & Appelman, P.C.
Hunnicutt & Appelman provides discrete family law services to substantial net worth and often high profile clientele. Divorce is a profound and difficult life transition, often intertwined with issues outside the legal context.
We counsel our clients not only with legal knowledge and experience, but also with compassionate insight into the entirety of their circumstances.
Our attorneys bring more than 85 years of combined experience to analysis of issues, settlement negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, collaborations and, if necessary, resolution by trial. Our two paralegal assistants add more than 45 years of experience. We continue to teach and learn from each other after all these years. Our practice is embedded in our core values:
INTEGRITY
The attorney-client relationship is and must always remain highly confidential. We are dedicated to protecting our clients' privacy and to providing our honest and thoughtful assessments of each client's needs based on their unique circumstances and our knowledge of the law and practical experience.
EXPERTISE
Our reputation in the legal, financial and mental health communities has been built on our successful representation of clients with complex financial issues, including valuation and allocation of assets and income from virtually every industry, beneficial interests in trusts, and challenging child-related issues which cannot be addressed merely by money.
PROBLEM SOLVING
We focus on innovative and creative settlement alternatives uniquely tailored to each client's needs. When all reasonable attempts to settle issues by agreement have been exhausted, we do not shy away from professional presentations in the courtroom.
SERVICE
Divorce is always an upsetting and unsettling life experience. We are dedicated to doing whatever we can as soon as we can and effectively as we can, to address our clients' needs as they process that experience to get to a new and happier life.

After stints of military service, cross-country trucking and graduate studies in philosophy, Bill Hunnicutt found himself practicing divorce law in 1977. He has no plans to stop. In recent years, he has divided his practice approximately equally between advocacy for a client and third-party neutral service as a divorce mediator, arbitrator and court-appointed special master. With the exception of a brief foray into securities fraud and accountant malpractice litigation in the mid-1980s, he has devoted his entire legal career exclusively to assisting in the difficult and complex process of divorce.
Bill has lectured on family law financial issues and alternative dispute resolution in law schools and seminars throughout Colorado and as far away as the states of Washington and New York. He has been a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers since 1988, acknowledged continually in Best Lawyers in America since 1987, and as a "Super Lawyer" since that designation came to Colorado in 2006. He is honored to be one of 100 divorce lawyers in the United States enjoying the collegiality of the American College of Family Trial Lawyers.

Lily morphed into becoming an attorney after exploring diverse career options. She spent many years as an art dealer and appraiser of late 19th & 20th century works of art on paper. She has traveled extensively, and she is the matriarch of a large and blended family.

Lily's clients appreciate the mature and healing perspective which she brings to each client's unique circumstances to help each move forward with their lives post divorce.
Upon graduating law school, Lily joined Bill Hunnicutt at the law firm of Sherman & Howard.
