Through the professionalism and wisdom of the highly respected I will call her a Doctor and an angel, Walked me step by step through my problems fears and the little hope I had of being free from a man so violent, so dark, whom does not belong to the human race. Ms. Elizabeth a specialism in the field that she as chosen is very positive, fighting for what's right and guiding me and many others like me made me a greater person to succeed in life and to move forward to better myself and she as gave me the courage to help other in my position way to see the truth that as a women you are not alone and don't be afraid to ask for help to safe yourself from what you can prevent.

I was referred to Mr. Jurdem and his firm with the tagline, "I'd trust him with my life, and my families' lives" as a criminal defense attorney. I had been accused of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, harassment, stalking, obstruction of telephone, etc., over 3 felonies. NONE of which I was guilty of, in fact, there was absolutely NO VIOLENCE (not a phone call, not a text, not an email) HOW COULD I BE CHARGED? If convicted or "cut a deal" to end the nightmare of lengthy court proceedings, I would NEVER be able to continue my career path in Medicine. It would obvious I needed the most meticulous trial attorney in Boulder/Denver. Upon our first meeting, it became evident why another attorney would refer me to this Law Firm. From day one, Mr. Jurdem was kind and observably brilliant with impeccable attention to detail. During the course of the status conferences and court proceedings leading up to trial, I accumulated 3 more charges which carried a MANDATORY prison sentence of up to 10 years if convicted. My case was like no other. When we would communicate, sometimes multiple times a week, and meet to discuss specific details that were crucial to the case, Mr. Jurdem was always such a pleasure, even given my life circumstances. I was offered a few plea bargains and continued to stand my ground as NOT GUILTY. Mr. Jurdem supported my EVERY decision throughout this case. Going to trial was one of the scariest moments of my life..yet somehow even though I was an emotional wreck, I was confident in Mr. Jurdem's intensity and tenacity in the courtroom. It was evident he is respected very highly throughout the entire judicial system. I was amazed how quickly he would communicate via email, sometimes I would see a time stamp at incredibly early hours. I don't believe another attorney could have worked as hard as Mr. Jurdem and his associates. After Mr. Jurdem got my SECOND CASE DISMISSED in a preliminary hearing, which is extremely rare given the seriousness of the charges, the DA moved to appeal the Judge's decision, it was granted and we were back to the emotional nightmare of going to trial. A month before my second trial, Mr. Jurdem received notification that the DA moved to DISMISS ALL CHARGES. Now, thanks to Mr. Jurdem's evident knowledge and mastered skills in the judicial system, I am able to live and pursue the life I was meant to.

Sloat & Nicholson, P.C. is characterized by professionalism, compassion and thorough knowledge of personal injury law. This firm has very successfully settled three (3) of my family's personal injury cases over the past few years and we couldn't be more pleased or satisfied. In each and every case, my family's experiences with this firm were nothing but positive. From the administrative staff and office support, to the paralegals, to the attorneys, themselves, this firm of true professionals goes far above and beyond most other law firms. They offered extremely personalized attention and they listened to each and every concern we may have had, offering thoroughly knowledgeable, reassuring opinions and advice. Their compassion and genuine concern for their clients' unique situations were very clear to us - we felt it, it was palpable. We never felt as though we were in an intimidating, impersonal or 'stiff' law firm that was concerned only about the numbers of cases they could push through; we felt like we were among caring family. They communicated effectively with us and in a timely manner, typically returning our calls and/or emails in the same day - often within hours - and even AFTER hours (well into the early evening). And the attorneys, themselves (Gerry and/or Randy), were typically the ones to personally respond/return calls. Their strategies, projected timeframes and realistic expectations for each case were made clear to us from the start. Stress was minimized throughout the process, right up until the last moment when each case was successfully settled for the highest, most agreeable amount and in our favor. What more could one ask for? For these reasons and more, we refer family, friends and colleagues ONLY to Sloat & Nicholson, P.C. for personal injury matters.

No detail, legal complication or nuance escapes him, and he advocated for my interests impeccably, efficiently and effectively. Eric has extensive knowledge of many industries, and sharp-eyed forensic bookkeeping skills that spotted irregularities missed by others in a complex set of quick books. He is a superb litigator and negotiator and achieved an outstanding outcome for me as I know he will for you.

Eric handled a very complicated business lawsuit for me over a period of two years. His work was very thorough and precise and he proved to be incredibly knowledgable. In the courtroom Eric didn't try to throw mud or spin tales like the other side did and in the end the jury respected us for his presentation of the facts and for not wasting their time. In the end, after an 8 day trial, the jury returned in less than an hour with a positive verdict in our favor. I cannot express how impressed I am with Eric. Eric was more prepared, more informed and more organized than the opposing side despite them having 3 times the number of lawyers. Eric is the best. You can't go wrong with him in your corner.

If you want a lawyer you can find one anywhere. If you want an intelligent partner who truly cares about your business and helps you make strategic decisions (that are also protect you from a legal standpoint) then contact David. I met with David when I had not even formed my company yet and I literally will have him as part of my team for the rest of my career. An example of his brilliance was his insistence on our filing of our patents and trademarks. We were able to sell one of our trademarks (that we were no longer using) to Weight Watchers for $250,000 and that never would have happened without David. Some people view legal fees as a necessary expenditure that hurts their bottom line. I view David's time as an investment in my company and to be honest he is a bargain. In summary, if I was asked to take 5 of my best contacts to battle for the most important business challenge of my life David would flat out be one of them. Please contact me directly anytime if you would like a reference about why working with David may be one of your best moves yet. Take care

She was able to understand my problem and was able to get the job done.

Stacy is an amazing attorney. She worked tirelessly for me for almost 2 years to get the results I needed from my ex. Her knowledge of the law seemed to be unending. She was always well prepared and very confident. She blew the other attorney out of the water. Stacy is very smart and compassionate and was always there to empower me. I can't begin to express how grateful I am to her. She will work hard for anyone.

Stacy Margolin is hands down one of the smartest attorneys in Colorado and her dedication to advocating for her clients is impressive. She is also a highly skilled mediator with arbitration background as well. Without her I would have been up the creek without the paddle. I recommend her highly over other lawyers and she even helped when big fancy firms were stuck. She is brave and will not back down. She fights for truth with all her might.

I hired Mike to work on some contracts and trademark issues for my rapidly growing business. He also worked on developing legal agreements for affiliate and business partner relationships. He always made himself available to us, whether via telephone or email, we felt like Mike was an extension of our organization. His work was top notch, and helped us through some very challenging issues and relationships. Our company continues to work with Mike because we have developed deep trust in him to handle the most complex issues and provide sound knowledge and advice as we grow our business. I found his fees to be very fair and reasonable when comparing to firms I have worked with in the past. In addition, comparing his attention to detail and overall quality of work to other firms - there is no question that Mike cares greatly about his reputation and his clients. I would highly recommend Mike - he has helped us tremendously.

With Mike on our team I always have someone who I can reach at almost any hour, and who can explain complex issues and allow me to make informed decisions quickly. I appreciate the culture of their small firm. They understand local small business in a way that, in my experience, larger firms do not.

I contacted Bob after sustaining an injury on private property. Not having a prior need for legal representation I did a web search and chose three names. My plan was to use the advertised free consultation with each and then choose. My first meeting was with Bob and a second was not needed. Every meeting was friendly and informative. As a result of that friendly demeanor Bob was able to achieve a great settlement for me.

Bob Miller is a very accessible and helpful lawyer. I found myself talking to him directly the first time I called. He will follow up when he says he is available and he returns all calls. His down to earth counsel and quiet demeanor allowed me to focus and make an excellent decision in my case. At the same time he makes sure that he offers all options and because of his experience he knows his profession well. I immediately felt I could trust and respect this person. He was helping me figure out what to do in my situation. My experience with Mr. Miller is that I feel that his advice and counsel is ethically sound. As with anything it is important to find the attorney that works well with you. Mr. Miller understood my case and he was clear about my choices. It was necessary for me as a client to understand that I had options in taking on something as stressful as a lawsuit. I had no experience with any lawyers in Boulder, Colorado and it was very useful to see Mr. Millers AVVO rating. I highly recommend him from the professional help and generous advice he gave to me.

Beyond her expertise, knowledge and professionalism, she is very approachable and personable, where one feels comfortable discussing any legal matter.

I contacted Ashlee Hoffman in fall, 2020, when my company already had a judgment against it. Despite being late to the game, Ashlee and her team did an outstanding job of research, brief/response crafting, advice, and negotiation in resolving the case over several months. Ms. Hoffman was very responsive all through the process, and the firm is remarkable in how reasonable and economical it is in billing practices - I've seldom felt treated as fairly on the cost side of legal work or litigation, very unusual.

I am so glad I found Cameron and his team after I was rear-ended by another vehicle during my work day. I had just moved to a new city and was completely shaken up about the whole situation. Cameron was diligent about pursuing all facets of care and medical attention after I had been injured from my accident. My case was very complex and involved multiple insurance companies and I couldn't have found a better lawyer to take it on. I felt like I was taken care of every step of the way and my experience was made as stress free as possible so I could take time to heal. If you are ever in a situation (and I hope you aren't) that requires the need for an attorney to help you with an accident where you received injuries, then I highly recommend this team. They responded to me quickly when I had questions, they were very informative and professional very step of the way and just good, easy to talk to people. Cameron is an excellent and experienced injury attorney with amazing and helpful assistants working along side him. He negotiated and pressed forward on all fronts to successfully resolve my injury and damage claims. I was told this process can and does take awhile in many cases to get resolved but Cameron was able to get my case settled in just 8 months. I highly recommend this team and can't thank Cameron enough for all he did!

My divorce issues came up quickly with not much lead time, yet I felt all matters were handled quickly and thoroughly.

For example, Peter was able to communicate with me that my legal case was mess without making me feel like a mess. Most attorneys do not have this skill. Aside from interpersonal skills, Peter's writing and research skills are excellent. We would hire him again.

The legal system is a daunting and truly scary realm for most, but for those of us that live a law abiding life - ignorance can be detrimental when you find yourself a victim of false allegations. John is more than a lawyer, he is a counselor of the law, who focuses on the individual client and expects that you (the expert in your own life) take charge of your case with his guidance and thus fight alongside him and not just hide behind him. From the initial meeting, John showed me professionalism, respect and ethical behavior. These standards were prevalent throughout the handling of my case. Dedication is a very powerful word, but cannot truly describe John's targeted focus and tenacity. While I had never dealt with a lawyer before, I did call many who instead of offering their support via guidance of the law, belittled and terrified me. John was real, and from the beginning set high, but tangible expectations of what it takes to win or prove a case. He dedicated his life to me during the every step of the preparation of my case. He spent over 10 hours of his day with me prior to trial and was prepared for whatever came our way. I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking help in the most important decisions of your life. Do not place your trust or invest your money on just anyone, call him and get his guidance, you'll know right away that you can feel confident with him as an experienced attorney. His trial assistant Megan is a superb asset to his firm and like John fully involves herself in every case, at least this was true of mine. John is a high caliber attorney with true emotions and treats you like a real human...did I mention he won my case!

I met with several attorneys prior to selecting John Pineau. John was by far the most understanding, straight forward and non-judgmental of them all. My case was very uncommon and a difficult one to take on. John was with me every step of the process and we worked for over three years on my case! The way John prepares for each hearing is absolutely incredible, he leaves no angle unthought-of. I felt confident at every hearing knowing that we were always 10 steps ahead of the prosecutor. He is the most determined, intelligent, hardworking and logical person I have ever met. He WILL do everything he can to help you. I understand the nightmare you are more than likely facing right now. I want you to know you don’t have to take this all on alone. John will help give you the confidence and determination to stand up and fight for what is right. I can honestly say that John and his team genuinely cared about me, gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost and in the end, we achieved our goal of saving my life. What else can you ask for? Don’t waste your time and money on anyone else! My heart goes out to all who have been wrongfully accused and have become victims of our judicial system. Please, allow John to help you fight back!

John Pineau is one of the best advocates for a client I have experienced in my legal career. There is no case too simple or none too complex for his representation. John does his homework and approaches every stage of the proceedings prepared and ready to do battle for his client. His experience ranges from first degree murder cases to sex assault cases. He is one of the best I have seen when it comes to defending persons accused of any type sex offense. He is non-judgemental and will work every case with the effective representation every person accused deserves. When you choose John Pineau you have an advocate who gets to know you, cares about you and will go to bat for you. I have worked with some of the best and John Pineau ranks up there with all of them.

I am an activist for the poorest, least represented people in society and I have known Nancy since she was a public defender. She is a brilliant tactical attorney at trial and she is very well received when it comes to negotiating positive outcomes with district Attorneys. Nancy has a compassion and empathy that really tunes her in to the clients personality and she very quickly grasps the critical dynamics of relationships and circumstances of a case and she sorts out the truth and presents it to the court in persuasive terms. not everyone is innocent, and Nancy is very compassionate and she negotiates outcomes that are fair and positive for the client and the court. Nancy keeps people out of jail and minimizes their time in the system and the system can be very unfair without Nancy to guide you through it. She has also gone to bat for people on probation to be allowed to use medical marijuana with a prescription, particularly people with HIV who only get relief from marijuana use and nothing else. It took a lot of guts for her to advocate for changes to probation in Boulder County to allow people with medical conditions to use medical marijuana, it was a very edgy subject at the time. Nancy has worked on important cases and important issues without regard for her personal compensation many many times. I recently learned when I sent her a new client that she is finally a partner in a firm and I want to say it is about time Nancy got PAID! I have extensive experience with very tough people in the justice system in Colorado, I know the group of top attorneys in Colorado very well, and Nancy is absolutely the best. If you are in trouble, she is your savior, I've seen her work her magic for everyone I have ever sent to her and there have been many. Thanks for everything you do Nancy. Peace

I interviewed 4 attorneys to handle my case. The first 3 attorneys spent 15-20 minutes with me on the phone explaining what I was facing and how they would defend me; each then invited me to their office for a 30 minute meeting, presumably at which point they would ask for my signature for their representation. Nancy spent an hour with me on the phone without any charge or expectation that she would represent me. She explained every detail of what I was facing and what was the most likely successful outcome. She was far more detailed than the others. She allowed me to ask a lot of questions. And when we were done with the phone consultation, she said, "I know you're talking with other attorneys. If you want to proceed with me, let me know." Choosing Nancy was easy because she gave me her best without expecting anything in return. As Nancy represented me throughout the process, I got the same treatment. She communicates in a very timely manner. She understands how to navigate the system to her clients' benefit. Knowing that a court-ordered treatment program would be part of the judge's decision, she got me going in that early. She took a personal interest in my family situation. Everything played out as she said it would, and I received the best outcome that was possible given the situation. I am very thankful that I found Nancy to represent me in this unwanted situation. I would recommend her to anyone facing similar.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
