In this episode of From the Ground Up, Bret sits down with two of Colorado’s most fearless legal minds: Kyle McFarlane, founding partner at BAM Family Law, and Madalia Maaliki, partner at Richards Carrington. Both are Super Lawyers, 5280 Top Attorneys, and adjunct professors at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law—credentials earned through grit, courtroom mastery, and unrelenting advocacy for their clients.

Kyle opens up about navigating high-asset, high-conflict divorces with brutal honesty and precision, while Madalia shares what it takes to succeed in the high-stakes world of criminal defense. Together, they discuss what it means to stand out as top litigators in emotionally charged and life-altering legal battles. If you've ever wondered what it’s like to walk into a courtroom and own it, this episode pulls back the curtain.
