Allison Sutton has been the absolute best lawyer I’ve had throughout my case! She was able to be upfront and honest with me every time about all the potential ways a situation could play out and always got the job done! I am seriously so impressed with her work ethic and professionalism! I will definitely go to her any/every time I need a lawyer for anything related to family law!

Brad Laybourne worked tirelessly on my case for almost 3 years. This being my first time needing a lawyer, I started by researching where he went to school. Brad was educated at Stanford University and the University of California. He comes from a long line of lawyers in his family and he has been in practice in our area since 2004 with wonderful reviews. I am proud Brad represented me not just because of his intelligence and talent as a lawyer, but also as a person of integrity and compassion. He was tough when he fought for my truth, and kind when he saw my suffering. Brad kept me informed and discussed his thoughts with me every step of the way. He respected my thoughts and made me feel part of the team. My case was settled out of court and the result reached above both of our expectations. Brad has my gratitude and highest recommendation.

Our son was recently named in an unfounded, false and potentially defamatory accusation. We consulted Mr. Laybourne to see what options may be available to us in the event this false accusation is filed. Brad not only talked to my husband a couple of times on the phone, but was also willing to meet with us in person so I could receive some clarification and understand the situation better. He spent quite a bit of time with us and at no point did I feel rushed through or patronized. I'm sure he hears about these situations every day. Brad was highly professional, patient, yet personable and we could tell he understood by asking pertinent questions while we repeated our concerns over and over. I'm confident that, if needed, we will retain Brad to represent our son as he thoroughly understands our frustration and the impact this could have on his future and reputation. For a family that has never had to have an legal consult, it is reassuring to know there are people out there that listen, believe and care who you are. Thank you, Brad!

I had met Brad about 6 months ago and never thought I would need a lawyer. Unfortunately I needed the advice and help of a lawyer so I reached out to Brad. He gave me a call on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my issues and is helping me to get done what I need. He was very genuine in his conversations with me and I know I can trust him to do what he says!

Joanna was our representative from our fiancé visa application and continued through our marriage and green card process. She was very knowledgeable about the process, the steps to take, and took great care and detail filling out the application. Furthermore, her review was essential to make sure no details were missed. She was a great resource and made us feel confident that all our details were perfect. I have recommended and would easily recommend Joanna in the future to any friends or family that desire to start their visa journey.

Joanna came as a strong recommendation from my SVP to replace a well-known Chicago based attorney group that had been sitting on my immigration case for years. She was so thorough, discovered that I was a great candidate for multiple visa types given my entrepreneurial background and, when I decided to leave my then employer, she was so professional in advising me of my options and safeguarding my interests just as well as she did those of my old company. I then retained her for my case and decided to self petition directly for the EB1A, a bold but scary move as I did not want to function at the mercies of my employers anymore. Even though she knew that my case was not fool proof, she took me on and helped craft an incredibly strong case. The most important quality she presented through this work was being consistent and knowing just the right things to say when I got tired, frustrated and discouraged as I was looking for hyper-specific evidence that some organizations would not release to me. And unlike other attorney groups that would judge and self-select text book cases, she knew my desperation, advised me accordingly and when I made my decisions -- still put forth her best effort to make sure my case was solid. I continue to use her now that my EB1A I-140 is approved, and plan to continue to use her for all my immigration needs until I have citizenship. She is such a keeper and her work ethic/dedication to me and my case remains unbelievable!!

Ms Lentini has an excellent knowledge of the immigration process, and she can convey it clearly for the non-specialist. She has handled my process very smoothly. It took about two years between starting the process and receiving the notice for permanent residency (as an applicant in the expert category from a country that doesn't have a lot of applicants). Ms Lentini and her team are very reactive on emails, phone calls, etc. It's been a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her for immigration-related matters.

I am so thankful I asked Malnar Law to represent me after I was involved in an accident. Unfortunately, there were four vehicles involved, and even though I was an innocent party, the other party's insurance company involved had a very difficult time accepting responsibility for the losses and injuries I incurred. Thankfully, Malnar Law cared, listened and took action to help settle all of my medical expenses, as well as get me back on my feet. Malnar Law is the BEST!

I am so glad I got a lawyer! I was fighting with the insurance company for three months before I took a chance and hired them! Trying to get better from an accident that I wasn’t at fault for, going to school, and battling the insurance company was all too much for me! When I walked into the office I immediately felt at home and every person was a breath of fresh air. I immediately felt like everyone was there to help in an already messy frustrating situation and their kindness genuinely helped in the healing process for me. I would highly recommend Malnar Law! Everyone helped me out so much and their positive, kindness really went a long way for me.

After suffering fracture of my spinal cord resulting from being hit a careless car-driver while I was riding my bicycle, a defense litigator recommended Gary Craw. I am glad I followed the recommendation. I would have been overwhelmed without Gary’s help. I have no independent memory of the accident or of my first days in the hospital. I had neither the memory nor the strength to have done what Gary and his legal assistant did for me and my wife: Gary developed an effective negotiating strategy that we followed. He advised that I should have patience as we went through the process so I could focus on recovering my health. His legal assistant oversaw payment of, and receipt of reimbursements for. all my medical and related expenses. Gary handled all the negotiations with both the driver’s and my insurance companies. They put together the settlement offers, including gathering all necessary documentation such as expenses and reimbursements, police reports, eye witness statements and an expert report. He and his legal assistant were sympathetic, professional and courteous to my wife and me. Unlike some attorneys, Gary is soft spoken; explains his recommendations, and lets his client make all important decisions with guidance, rather than dictation, from him. He is also well-respected in the Colorado personal-injury legal community. I recommend Gary to anyone who has suffered an injury.

I was involved in a car accident in 2014 where I was injured by a driver who ran a red light. I had never been injured in a car accident before, and had no idea where to turn. I received Gary's name from another attorney, and knew I wanted to hire him the first time I met with him. I did interview 2 different attorneys for my case, and after my appointment with Gary, I knew which attorney to put my trust in. I have NEVER regretted that decision. My injuries did require extensive physical therapy and shoulder surgery, with more physical therapy. The case was open for over 3 years, and Gary as well as his paralegal, Tresa, followed up with me constantly to check on the status of my recovery, and also to keep track of all of my medical expenses, as well as time away from work. I felt that Gary was always accessible, responsive to any questions or concerns I had, and the utmost professional. These cases can be long, tedious, and so very stressful. Gary (and his paralegal Tresa- GREAT TEAM) always took the time to explain the process to me, and address ANY concern I had. I have NEVER regretted hiring Gary to represent me in this case. It took over 3 years, but a fair settlement was reached, and I feel I can move on with my life. I would recommend Gary without reservation.

I was in a pedestrian accident in 2014 and suffered multiple fractures, a laceration of the spleen, and multiple abrasions. I had extensive medical bills and a long road ahead of me. As a paralegal, I’ve had many encounters with attorneys in the area, none of which I was comfortable in retaining for my case. I did extensive research to find an upstanding and competent attorney. Gary Craw was among one of the top attorneys in Colorado Springs. Now that my case has finalized, I have to say I am so impressed with Gary and his staff. There was never a time that they weren't on top of my case. Gary and Tresa (Paralegal) consistently stayed in contact with me regarding all facets of my case. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I’ve come across a lot of attorneys that promise you the world, but then you can’t reach them and your case is put on the back burner. Not the case here!!! Gary’s years of personal injury experience and extensive knowledge of the law was again impressive. Most importantly Gary’s every move was well thought out and he was honest and realistic in his guidance of my case, which I greatly appreciated. I would without hesitation recommend attorney Gary S. Craw for your legal needs.

Tami Mitchell is a life saver!!! I can say that because she saved my life. I was falsely accused of numerous accounts of sexual assault in the military. I went to a courts-martial and was found guilty of several counts. Tami came recommended to handle my appeal. Once I spoke to her, I knew she was the lawyer for me. She read through the 1500+ page record of trial and presented a strong case for overturning my convictions. 18 months later, Tami’s excellent work paid off and my sexual assault convictions were overturned for factual insufficiency, which is the equivalent of an acquittal. I was able to get off the sex offender registration list. My initial wrongful convictions caused additional legal issues for me, but Tami remained by my side each step of the way, assisting my appointed military counsel and other attorneys who were not familiar with the military justice process. Finally, after more than 5 years since my wrongful convictions, my family and I can finally get a good night's sleep, knowing our ordeal has finally concluded with positive results. Tami's fees are very reasonable; she is worth every penny. Not only is Tami a great lawyer, she is a great person. As you can imagine, my life has been very stressful during this period. Tami was always available to talk, and she took the time to explain things to me in detail so that I understood. She is very direct, realistic, and doesn't sugar-coat things, but she is also empathetic and goes the extra mile to connect with her clients on a human level. She also communicated with my family members and helped them understand the processes. She presented the humanity of my case, and my humanity, in a persuasive manner to those who would not otherwise consider someone like me a "victim"--a victim of false accusations. Hiring an attorney is an investment in yourself and your future. If you believe you deserve the best (and you do), then Tami is the attorney for you. She gives you hope when your case seems hopeless. If you are ever in a situation where you've been accused of sexual assault, I wholeheartedly recommend you contact Tami Mitchell. I would not want anyone else in my corner.

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars. This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs. I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played. Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

KLM is the place to go hands down if you want to come out a WINNER!!!!! Review for Kelly McPherson & Stephanie Steiner❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very challenging case, and after firing my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money.A friend referred me to Kelly.I called & she got me in.She stepped in and completely turned things around as messed up as they were & as hysterical & crying as I was she immediately calmed me down & reassured me she would do her best to make things right.She had to go back and fix everything that the previous lawyer had supposedly done, and she did it with skill and dedication. She is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend her and Stephanie to anyone who needs someone who genuinely works for them—not for themselves. Kelly & Stephanie are hard-working, down-to-earth, and always straight to the point. No BS. From the very beginning, I could tell she had my best interests at heart. She’s not just about making empty promises—she delivers results. Her communication is excellent, and she always made me feel heard and valued. I never once felt like I was in the dark during the process, and she consistently reassured me with her level-headed, professional approach.Communication was great.Always returned emails in a timely matter & Stephanie was great about helping with paperwork & returning emails & anything that needed to be addressed.I was never left in the dark.These ladies were wonderful & I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In the courtroom, she’s a force—well-prepared and incredibly professional. Plus, her office is comfortable and welcoming, which made it easier to sit down and discuss difficult topics. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who truly works for you, cares about your family, and won’t waste your time or money, I highly recommend Kelly McPherson and Stephanie Steiner.They’re exactly the kind of legal team you want in your corner. BEST LEGAL TEAM OUT THERE!!!

Several years ago this lawyer did an amazing job in getting me a settlement after a motorcycle accident, a hit and run also. He found the driver and sent me to several doctors to be taken care of. It also only took a couple months. Other lawyers told me it could take a year or more, but not with Mr.Collins. Since then he had represented my son and my wife, my mother in law and now a neighbor. Absolutely the best and most caring attorney in Colorado Springs. Would call him every time if I needed to.

Twice now I've been in touch with Patrick Collins. Both were for automobile accidents 15 years apart. Both times he took care of us like we were family and even remembered me after 15 years. Last time he helped my husband this time he helped my son and myself. I would recommend and have recommended him to anyone who needs the help of an attorney to fight with insurance companies. He took our case and aggressively fought to get us as much as he could, it really saved us both times.

We are long-time clients of Mr. Williams. He drafted wills and powers of attorney for me and my husband years ago, and it was time for an update. His staff scheduled us in right away. Mr. Williams reviewed the deed to our house to make sure it was titled right so we wouldn't have problems in the future. He talked to us about our assets, which had grown over the years, and ensured that we properly named beneficiaries on investment accounts. He explained the difference between a will and trusts, and we decided to keep it to wills. Mr. Williams helped guide us about where our property will go and who will handle our things when we pass away. He drafted our documents and took the time to hand-deliver drafts to our house, so we had plenty of time to review them before we signed them. At the signing, Mr Williams took us through all of the documents and explained them thoroughly. His paralegal made copies and put the originals and copies in a new portfolio, so our documents are together in one place. We are very pleased with the work he did and how he explained everything. He was very knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this law firm.

Incompetent and rude. We requested Gordon to draw up a will and other documents. Upon our request, my wife asked to review documents for errors. Gordon stated he would email the documents to my wife, but he did not. Gordon made the simplest errors in even scheduling the meeting to sign the documents, which was a huge red flag. It gets worse. My wife sat down for approximately 30 seconds and found over a dozen errors in her documents and mine. Again, we were told we would get the documents prior to this meeting to review. This proved our point. While working with Gordon to fix the numerous errors he made, we kept finding more errors!!! For 350.00 we thought there was better quality. My wife stopped the meeting, and we refused to continue. While refusing, Godon became very rude and defensive of his own errors!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!! Complete waste of our time. Now, we have to find a competent attorney's office that can handle a simple last will and power of attorney paperwork. If I could give a negative rating, I would. These are facts, not opinions.

We selected Derry Beach Adams to represent us in our slip and fall legal action only after carefully evaluating other attorneys. It was obvious to us that her resolve to seek justice on our behalf stemmed from both a compassionate heart and a proper sense of righteousness. We quickly realized that Derry would adopt our personal cause against the defendant as her own. To better represent us, she took time to get to know us personally, visiting our home (out of state) – knowing us as people, not simply clients. Derry and her firm’s service was prompt, courteous, professional, and spot-on effective. Derry made sure to constantly update us on the discovery process, helping us make practical sense of the often confusing language of legalese. We always felt that Derry was one giant-size step ahead of the defendant. Her insight, guidance, and communication portrayed to us a realistic picture of our case, allowing us to make profitable decisions about its proceedings. Derry Beach Adams, who we call The Velvet Hammer, is a winner in both a legal and life sense. Beneath her winsome personality is a resolute warrior for justice, as she secured in our case. We highly recommend her to anyone who desires caring, compassionate, tough legal representation.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this firm. Joe, Kimberly, and Kris have gone above and beyond to help me with my case - one that I really didn’t think had enough substance to it to be settled in my favor. Not only did they work hard for me, but they truly cared about making sure I felt honored and heard throughout this whole process. It’s been a rocky road with what I’ve dealt with personally. Without them, I wouldn’t have had the ability to find strength, peace, and justice in what I’ve gone through. I’m in awe of the way they all fought for me. They made me feel like I was family - not just another client. They walked through this with me and worked tirelessly to see it through to the end. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you, Maher & Maher Law! I’m forever grateful.

I was in a very tough situation. Going into sentencing and my lawyer had just resigned. After reading Ms. Shipley's reviews I decided to give her a call. What an amazing and compassionate lawyer! From the start she was straight forward and honest with me about what was going on while being compassionate and empathetic to my situation. When it came time for my sentencing she did an amazing job with her plea of probation instead of jail time. Though a little pricey for my limited budget it was worth every penny to have Ms. Shipley representing me. I just can't say enough excellent things about this Lawyer other than I wish I had gone with her from the start and maybe justice would have prevailed and my case would have been handled better.

David and I had a brief conversation on the phone regarding my situation with Bank of America and a fraud claim which they refused to investigate properly or reimburse after denying my claim. David was quick to inform me of my rights per the FTC and consumer laws and what actions he would be able take against BoA to include treble 3x damages which would amount to over 10k with paid Attorney fees. David also knows several other Attorney's who are experts dealing with these type of cases and can refer you to other Attorney's in the state of Colorado, that may be able to help with Bankruptcy, Business law, Real estate and consumer law or If you feel a class action lawsuit is justified. David is an expert on planning and knows how the courts rule depending on the client's situation and he has over 25 years of experience of practiced law.

Ms. McClintock provided very competent service to me. From the start of my case I felt like she genuinely was concerned and took a real interest in helping me. I never felt like I was just a client or number, but an individual that she wanted to help. She continually kept me informed and when court was going to happen she did her best to prepare me for what exactly would happen and the possible outcomes of the case. When my court date arrived there were no real surprises. She was completely prepared for anything the Prosecution presented. In the end she fought for me all the way and the final result was “Acquittal”. I couldn’t of been more happy with the outcome and service. If you need a competent and reliable lawyer Ms. McClintock is one of the best and one I would use again if necessary for myself or family. Fees were very fair and reasonable. So I will definitely recommend her to anyone. I can’t thank her enough for the service she provided.

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.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
