My family highly recommend Mark Daly for your immigration case! He is very competent and he guides us with every step of our case. He answers immediately all questions and concerns, and advising us on the phone without charging extra. He is very sharp yet he can talk us and explain things so that we understand exactly what is going on with our case. He really looks out for his clients. Our case is very hard but Mark is very patient with us and he is always ready to fight for our rights. Choosing him as our attorney is one of our best decision. He will get you a great result in your case. We definitely will refer Mark to all our friends and family who needs help. My wife and I will never hesitate to use Mark again should the need arise. Thank you for all of your hard work!

I hired Mark after my husband was given a lifetime ban at his interview in Juarez, MX. I was lost with my two girls trying to figure out how to fix it and not sure if it could be. My previous lawyer kept saying he was going to do an appeal with the consulate but stopped answering my phone calls. The first cosultation Mark made me feel better. He guided me to real solutions and went big. So I hired Mark and he sent in the paperwork. About a month and a half later they changed the status from “refused” to “Administrative processing” and requested more information. After turning in the evidence about 2 weeks later the consulate issued my husbands visa! Mark turned a lifetime ban into an issued visa and my family will be forever grateful. He’s not your typical lawyer, he’s down to earth and he really listens to you. He will answer your calls and he talked me out of a bad mindset a couple times. Stop messing with these other lawyers that don’t care and go with Mark. The reviews he has are legitimate and for a reason!

Mr. Mark Daly is very vibrant, immensely patient, extremely friendly, caring, empathetic, a highly optimistic individual who possesses a huge amount of integrity. As an attorney, he is very competent, perspicacious, punctual, knowledgeable, self- reliant, articulate, and above all, an apt tactician who can resolve any complicated immigration issue with utmost efficacy. He listens intently to his clients and is very inquisitive to know the expectations and the interests of his client pertinent to the immigration issue. Moreover, Mr. Daly makes extensive research on immigration issues and formulates different strategies to generate a successful outcome for the cases that he handles.
I have known Mr. Daly for the last six (6) years. I was introduced to him through my sister and my brother-in-law who achieved a great outcome with their immigration case handled by Mark. I met him for the first time when I was completely distraught and diffident, had just took divorce from a highly abusive marriage and befallen setbacks in immigration and family law cases due to the inadequacy of the previous attorneys who were handling them. However, during the initial talk itself I was absolutely convinced without a strand of doubt that my case was entrusted into the right hands. In his relentless pursuit of success for the clients, Mr. Daly doesn’t hesitate to go the extra miles for his clients. Realizing that I was too inexperienced and timid to make a police complaint, he personally accompanied me to the police station. During the progress of a case, Mr. Daly stands by his client every step providing precise and excellent guidance. Also, he makes himself available to his clients in the quickest manner irrespective of him staying in the United States or even away on vacation. He is highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a successful outcome for immigration issues no matter how complicated they could be.

Professionally, Megan literally got me the best possible results she could achieve. In every other way, I can't say thanks enough for all your help in so many different ways. I would really like other people in similar situations to know how she helped in so many more ways than just 'being a lawyer working with my case'. It's obviously a tough situation to be in, but I literally can't imagine how much harder this all would have been with even just a decent lawyer, much less none at all. Instead she CONSTANTLY went above and beyond both professionally and personally to help me through a very hard time in my life.

I was the victim of a bike vs. car accident back in September, and am so appreciative of Megan for handling the outcome for me.The accident left me injured, out of work, and with a stack of medical bills. My Initial thought was not to get a lawyer, I figured the responsible parties would be reasonable and we could work it out in a sensible way. Very quickly I was brought to the reality of dealing with insurance companies. Suddenly the vehicle hitting me was my fault, they wanted me to make legal statements and questioned me as if I was the guilty party, when I was merely the victim . It was at this moment I realized I needed help dealing with the accident. If I had not contacted Megan I would have paid thousands of dollars in medical bills I was not responsible for. unfortunately, my experience taught me that this is not unusual in the insurance claim world, which was so foreign to me.
Megan was recommended by a friend and avid cyclist, she is a true activist of the cause and incredibly committed to representing cyclists who deserve a fair chance in the car communing world. Megan was genuine, professional and amazing through out this unwanted experience. She allowed me to focus on getting better and back to work rather than dealing with bills and hour long conversations with the insurance company. Megan helped me settle the claim and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Looking back on the situation I can't believe I was hesitant to contact her, as I couldn't imagine the stress I would be going through without her. thank you!!

My wife and I are avid cyclists. We were on our way to San Diego for a cycling event. I was hit by a car while out for a short bike ride prior to starting the final leg of our journey. The driver of the car was distracted by some activity, other than driving, when he made a left turn directly into my path of travel down the bike lane. I recall seeing the car top the hill a hundred yards or so ahead of me and to my left. I do not recall seeing him start his turn or much of anything else until I found myself sitting in the middle of the road bleeding and confused.
I ended up with a nasty shoulder separation and required surgery to both hands to repair ligaments and broken bones in my thumbs. My bike ended up some 10 yards down the street from me and was heavily damaged.
I initially considered myself lucky and figured my case was to small to involve a lawyer. The driver’s insurance company initially showed signs of being “reasonable” to work with. I quickly encountered several of the games insurance companies employ to frustrate, delay and ultimately attempt to pay very little of an accident victim’s losses. I realized I needed help. I didn’t want to become a victim of the insurance companies’ “process”. I needed to focus on healing and getting back to my work and life.
A friend mentioned he had seen a “bicycle lawyer” named Megan Hottman speak at a cycling event in Denver. I called Megan. Megan impressed me from our first meeting. Her depth of experience, knowledge and passion for getting a fair settlement for her clients was clear. I felt a great weight lifted when Megan took my case. Megan kept me informed on progress every step of the way. There was never any doubt I had found the right person to guide me through this mess.
I can’t thank Megan enough for the considerable time she saved me. Your precious time is ultimately what insurance companies try to manipulate in order to get you to settle for little or nothing.
Megan was able to secure a fair settlement which allowed me to quickly replace my lost property, take care of my medical needs and move on with my life.
My wife and I are now back to enjoying our cycling adventures.
Thanks again Megan!

Chris helped me with a long aggravating divorce which was made harder because of a some other family items outside of just my marriage. He was very easy to reach and very good at responding to my texts and emails. Chris worked very hard with my ex wife’s lawyers trying to get things settled. He was very knowledgeable of the divorce process and was able to explain any emails or things I didn’t understand or had questions for. Chris was very professional and when needed was available to meet in person.

I initially spoke to Chris when a friend referred me to him for consultation regarding starting a divorce process. However, it was soon evident that I would need to hire a lawyer to help me navigate what was potentially going to be a messy and long divorce, mostly concerning money and our one child together. Hiring Chris was the best thing I did! He is clear and concise when speaking and I felt he cared a lot about what I was going through. He stayed calm, even when I was stressing out, about the different stages and parts of the divorce process. There was not much going back and forth, and I felt the divorce ended well and was fair. For anyone needing help navigating a divorce and all the complexities involved, I would highly recommend Chris as the best person to help ensure a quick and fair process, especially during such a difficult time.

I used Kim years ago during my child custody case regarding my then 5 year old son. A previous lawyer made a mess of my situation and I was on the verge of turning over custody to my son's father. Thankfully a good friend of mine recommended Kim . Kim is an angel. She helped me muster the strength and courage to fight! Kim was extremely prepared and also helped me be extremely prepared for court. The case turned out in my favor and the judge also awarded some attorney fees. I HIGHLY recommend Kim!

Kim represented me in a complicated post-divorce decree situation. Her work was outstanding. She was thorough, well-prepared and steadfast in working through my situation. She was supportive. She could be tough when necessary but did not need to prove her toughness by being unnecessarily contentious. She sought to contain costs. Her support staff and associate were personable, efficient, and professional.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Golden, Colorado?

Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -
Outside of Their Licensed State:
If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you.

Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community. -
