Absolutely exceeds 5 star! Samantha and her team are amazing. The insurance company I had to deal with, drawn the situation out and gaslighted me, which exacerbated my pain and months to get my car fixed. But the team helped supported me throughout the process. I'm so happy this is over, and they were great assisting me throughout the process and communication!

Greg has excellent communication. He emailed me regularly and kept me updated on my defense. He fought for me with the DA and got my case dismissed. I’m very happy with my choice of representation

In 2017 I was framed and charged with a very serious crime. I had no hope at all, the Brighton, CO police department did everything they could to destroy the exculpatory evidence in my case. Luckily Gregory McMahon was there for me every step of the way, this man took time off from other cases to visit me in jail and keep my hopes up. He even took over my financial accounts at my request because I had no one else, and he never took a dime from me that wasn’t earned. I trusted this man with my life and liberty and he refused to let me down. I have never met anyone with such determination and integrity in my life who wasn’t a Marine. While Mr. McMahon wasn’t a Marine, he served his country with the Federal Bureau of Investigation as an analyst and saved countless lives. When he learned of the corruption in Adams County and the Brighton Police department he made sure to expose them and show them for the cruel inhuman tyrants they were in public court. I was looking at life in prison for a crime I did not commit and he would not let the system fail another veteran. I thank you Mr. McMahon for your dedication to liberty, justice and myself. I am forever in your debt and forever your friend! Clinton, Semper Fidelis!

As a resident of another state, after I received a citation for DUI, I had no idea where to turn. On the recommendation of some local residents I hired Greg and his Investigator Joe. After almost a year of back and forth with hearings and a trial, we finally just had our day in court. As I found out early on the DA had lost to them before and was unwilling to offer any plea in my case just to spite him. It didn’t matter cause we got our Not Guilty verdict anyway. Greg was always available even as I was 1000 miles away. This was the hardest thing to go thru but Greg made it easier.

When getting a divorce the outcome is probably 90% is decided before you hire a lawyer. I contacted 2 other lawyers prior to finding Mrs. Howell and the only conversation was only price and retainer. My first meeting with Mrs. Howell was questions about the issues some history and a guesstimate of the outcome and then the price and retainer. Mrs. Howell makes herself highly visible throughout the process. Her pace is extremely fast to help keeping the billable hours as low as possible. She stepped up to do process my wife layer would normally do to reduce the cost the overall lawyer cost. Another major item is her negotiating skills to help change the outcome. Nobody wants this but what it could have been verses the final decision I am pleased with. She is Awesome at what she does.

I am 80 years old, and needed a specific lawyer for elder will information. Donnia Howell was fantastic, delightful, caring and confident. My will documents were finished without a rush, She explained everything completely and easily. I had a happy experience getting this done with a person I truly liked and completely trusted. Her office is relaxing and she also had free parking right in front of the office.

I wish I would have known Donnia 16 years ago when my husband first filed for divorce! I was referred to Donnia by a friend to help with a child support modification issue that I was faced with. She was so kind and compassionate and really helped me work through the situation I was currently facing. She has a warmth about her that makes you feel like you've known her forever; however, she's very professional and knows how to help you navigate the crazy legal system. I highly recommend Donnia Howell!

I can't compare Jasmina with any other attorney as I have only worked with her, but I can definitely express my satisfaction of my experience. I hired Jasmina before my divorce started, and she stayed with me until after it was final. Divorce is overwhelming, scary, intimidating and frustrating- and she was with me for every step along the way. She was able to break things down and explain them to me in a way that I could understand wether it be legal documents, the expected time line of steps needed to be taken or what our plan was. I asked endless questions repeatedly, and Jasmina answered them all positively and honestly. Her response time to emails, phone calls and texts was very fast, and she always gave me notice of when she would be unavaiable. When she was unavailable, I had contact information incase something came up and she never disappeared or left me hanging. My finances became a very real burden for me, and despite her costs already being very fair and straight foreward, she was understanding and willing to work with me. From a legal standpoint, Jasmina knew what she was talking about, was aggressive when needed and never let me down as the final outcome was exactly what we wanted. Perhaps what meant the most to me was that she got to know me well enough to know when I reached my emotional limits. There were times when she called me to make sure I was ok when I was having a really hard time, and talked to me until I felt better and gave me encouragement. Overall I could not be happier with my experience working with Jasmina. In a way when you go through a divorce you put your whole world into someone else's hands... no other hands are safer than Jasminas. I would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney they can count on and trust.

Jasmina helped me through the most difficult time in my life. She was there for me in every facet and every step of the way. She made herself available practically any time and any day if needed. I honestly could not have chosen a better lawyer. My divorce case was very complex, involving an intense custody battle and a judge that was very pro-woman. Jasmina was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable and detail oriented. She also did an excellent job keeping me level headed throughout the entire process and lifting me up when I needed it most. While a lot of lawyers see $$$$, I feel Jasmina truly cares about her clients more than than the money. This is something I am extremely grateful for. I knew I could trust that she was there for me and was going to do an excellent job, which she did. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a divorce lawyer.

Intelligent, informed, diligent and just amazing. I never thought I'd find someone who was going to go this far. Listened to and herd every word. Used my own words to present my case to the courts as well as it all sounded in my head. I truly couldn't have hoped for a better representation. From pulling some pretty crazy hours to take care of what must've been her neediest client to continually reassuring me of the open line of communication that is available at any time. Cause let's be honest, in family law, there's a history. Where there's history there's lots to be remembered. As information comes to light at sometimes unfavorable hours I felt I could, and did, reach out to an always open ear to be able to discuss new possibilities and tactics. I can't say enough encouraging words about this spacticular young lady. She earned every penny and got me and my family everything we'd hoped to achieve.

I consulted with Byron regarding a breech of contract with a medical provider. He replied to my initial questions almost immediately, reviewed the contract in his off work hours, and offered very clear and sound legal advice. Any documents I asked him to review, he did without delay and gave immediate feedback on the next steps. With his advice, we were able to come to a settlement agreement quickly and get the money that we were entitled to per our contract! We had a great experience and would HIGHLY recommend hiring Byron as your attorney!

Katie Pierce abandoned my case for reasons unknown in a manner the judge called prejudicial. She also blocked me from filing in my own case for weeks by being unresponsive and contrary while still officially representing me. It was so egregious and unexplained that the Colorado Bar Association accepted a grievance and opened a case against her, but apparently she's still doing well and practicing. I was still in good financial standing toward her and she'd made no ethical objection to me. Maybe it was personal. I don't know why she chose to represent me so poorly, but I do not recommend putting your trust in her hands when the case for your kids is on the line.

Tammera was very helpful to us handling two estate plans. When my wife's father died it was necessary to develop a plan for her mother, then again when her mother became limited by dementia. Tammera was very helpful during these trying times and was available on a timely basis. She also did a great job on our estate plan which involved merging families.

I’m now in debt in 5 month period I paid about 26,000 and in a worse situations with court. They never resolved my case with my kids. I’m very disappointed about their service.

After them feeding us lots of false hope we found out eventually it was just about them taking our hard earned money. Only thing they are good at is making sure they get paid! Two hours before medication I was notified my lawyer was out on paternity leave and I was getting a backup. Mediation ended up being a waste of time but I was still charged full price! I learned more honesty from mediation than my attorney which was very sad! I spent $12,000 on just a few emails and still get to pay full $1200/month child support with the mother controlling my visitation. I had to tap out because I got the Johnson from Johnson law group!

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.

    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.
