Eric Limegrover took care of my case with patience, experience, and empathy. He made adequate time for my case while being cost-effective and efficient. I'm more than satisfied with the results of this firm given the time and money devoted to my case. I would recommend them to anybody, especially those facing a case with higher conflict.

I was not sure what to expect. I didn’t know if their purposed consultation time would enough time. All my notes were taken by an assistant and given to the legal councilor before our conversation so the lawyer was already up to speed when we talked for the first time. I really think their system is refined by their experience and it shows that it’s designed to best help those seeking advice.
Sidney was so kind. Very great at explaining and educating me of my rights and what I can expect in various outcomes. So I may plan my next move with thought and strategy. I would definitely seek advice from Sidney again. She is very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable of the laws and wonderful resources to offer for more information or questions. Thanks Sidney!

Mark Galler lost $90k of my money. He told me that my witness did not show up over phone or in person, but he was on the phone waiting for over 2 hours. I felt like Mark Galler and the other party had too much coordination in the courtroom for someone who wasn't represented, and when I asked for the communication record, I was told I'd need to pay for it too. They knew full well that they had taken all my money and had the audacity to tell me I needed to pay more to them to find evidence of collusion.

I came to Andrew Bryant last year after dealing with a chaotic separation. I had two children with my ex and she had made my life extremely difficult with communication, scheduling, doctor appointments, schooling and multiple other issues.
Heather took me as a client and immediately my life got easier, she communicated with my ex during the entire process and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible.
She was extremely professional and got me fully prepared for trial. She walked us through each step we were going to take during the trial and eased us through the entire situation.
By the end of the trial the judge removed all my child support obligations and gave me full 50/50 rights.
Since the case she has checked in with us multiple times and made sure everything is still running smoothly, which it is! The last 5 months since the trial have been so much easier dealing with my ex now that everything is set in stone.
We are very happy with all the work Heather and the the team at Andrew Bryant did for us!
10/10 would definitely recommend!

My name is Rachel Newton. In January 2024 I hired Heather Atkinson to represent me in my child custody case. Heather and Donna (paralegal) were wonderful representation. I knew they cared about myself and my case. Opposing council, representing the other party, was Greg Maceau. In about August 2024, Heather contacted me to let me know that Mr. Maceau would be moving over to Andrew Bryant’s law firm, and that it would be ok because there would be a “Chinese wall” implemented so Mr. Maceau would not have access to my case. My trial was set for October 2024, and two days prior to trial, Ms. Atkinson was disqualified as representing me as my lawyer because Andrew Bryant had hired Mr. Maceau to his law firm. Andrew Bryant and Mr. Maceau had told Ms. Atkinson this was ok, but upon reviewing rule, did not obtain the other party’s signature saying it was ok for Ms. Atkinson to continue to represent me after Mr. Maceau moved to the law firm. Ms. Atkinson called to apologize about the situation, and I had to find and retain a new lawyer, my trial date canceled and postponed. Obviously this was very distressing after already waiting for 10 months to go to trial, and spending a lot of money and time. Andrew Bryant could have waited two months to hire Mr. Maceau. He could have notified me that I needed to find a new lawyer prior to paying his lawyers to prep for my trial. Andrew Bryant never called me, tried to remediate the situation, or provide me assistance, even though this occurred because of his negligence and oversight. All I got was an invoice for $5k for my attorney and paralegal prepping for trial, and then turned around and had to pay another $5k retainer to hire a new attorney. Not to mention the lawyer fees that have accrued for the new lawyer to set a new trial date, have a new status conference hearing, prep for trial, etc. etc. While I would always recommend Heather and Donna as representation, I do not think it is the best idea to hire Andrew Bryant as your representing law firm. It might just cost you an extra $15k to your lawyer fees.

I worked with Mike Kuhn, Paul Lewis, and Cameron Caldwell on a situation for a year. It was an incredibly stressful situation, but because of their partnership through the situation, I felt at peace.

The entire team was incredibly responsive and always kept me updated on the progress. Their expertise and guidance made me feel confident during every step of the legal process. Not only did they achieve a successful outcome for my case, but their dedication and personalized approach truly stood out.

The firm was very receptive and attentive to my request for services. As a potential client residing outside the state, I contacted the firm on 9/12 and requested that an attorney contact me back. Attorney Eric Anaya contacted me the following day and was extremely courteous while providing detailed information about the services requested (including expected timeline). After hiring the firm, my case was handled with efficiency and candor. A resounding 'Thank you' to Eric and Angela! I would highly recommend Anaya & Chadderdon, P.C.

Full disclosure, I couldn't afford them. But they tried working with me and came up with many ways to try and help me. Even when I wasn't being responsive Arra would call and text me with new ideas to help and sometimes just to make sure I was ok. They showed me that they respected my veteran status and had more heart and compassion than anyone else I had called by miles.

The Right Law Group was very helpful from the day I contacted them for assistance. My legal team, Nick and Jimmy were always available when I needed an answer for the entire DUI process. They were extremely positive and always had an answer or would find what I needed. Their attention to my case helped with receiving a deferred sentence and the minimum for probation requirements.

had the pleasure of working with Daniel Kay for my domestic violence case and I must say, he was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I met him, he put me at ease and paid for me to ride an electric bike from his office to the courthouse, which was a thoughtful and practical gesture that helped to relieve some of the tension going into the court house.
Daniel's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding, and I was very impressed with his understanding of my case. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and kept me informed throughout the entire legal process.
Overall, I can't recommend Daniel Kay enough. If you are in need of legal representation for a domestic violence case, look no further. Daniel is an exceptional attorney who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure that they feel supported and informed every step of the way. Thank you, Daniel, for all of your help!

Cory Tuck is a top-notch Family Attorney specializing in divorce and separation. His professionalism, work ethic, moral compass, and ability to seek out alternative, positive solutions to any obstacle is truly exceptional. Cory is on your side from day one. My case involved a 2 plus year mental marathon that wouldn't have been possible, and successful, without the guidance and support of Cory and his team. Cory's personal interest, steadfast loyalty, and discipline is above reproach. Divorce sucks, and having someone like Cory on your side during the process is invaluable - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Cory and his team successfully and routinely handled all the big and small issues that surfaced from my case, often with little on no effort on my part. If you are going through troubling times, and divorce/separation is imminent, look no further than Cory Tuck. His resume includes thousand of cases, all varying in slightly different nuances, making his breath of knowledge focused, practical, and refined. You will not be disappointed in Cory Tuck.

I had two terrible divorce lawyers before finding Cory Tuck. After having a phone interview with him, I was convinced that he is the lawyer I was always hoping to have. I hired Cory! My life and my divorce situation improved instantly. Cory is very honest, hardworking and, most importantly, gets results! He is also very professional and confident: he stands up in front of the judge and states your arguments in a logical and assertive manner. He won both of my recent cases: Contempt of Court and Motion to Modify Spousal Maintenance. Cory focuses and knows what’s important to win your case. He takes charge of the situation and avoids getting intimidated by the other party. His office staff is friendly and communicates clearly, and quickly. Cory is also a trial lawyer - this is the type of lawyer you want presenting evidence to the judge and crossing your ex on the stand. I highly recommend Cory Tuck of Aviso Law!!!

The legal firm provided excellent service, with both the receptionist and my attorney, Mikayla Shearer and her team, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and competence.
She is worth every penny I promise words cannot describe what an amazing person she is i mean just Google her she's the best I love her when I told her that it's time I was devastated dude she's saved my life im being able to see my son now , if you need a lawyer she's the one I promise after our first conversation I got off the phone and I knew I was gonna get my rights and i started shadow boxing I was so excited she'll take the time to get to understand the whole picture her passion is doing the right thing for parents. I really really am gonna miss you mikayla, there's alot of things that I would love to say about whole experience but how I talk is very unprofessional but guys this is the lawfirm and highly request you guys ask for her .

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!

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.

Michael is a great attorney. He helped me when two other lawyers had failed. He was thorough and we beat the State of Colorado Department of Revenue. He was competent and patient. He knows the rules of engagement and helps interpret the laws that assist in your case. He is the expert or becomes the expert through research to specifically apply to your case. He schooled the DA on my Appeal.

As a former client, I was extremely fortunate to hire Mr. Harris and found him to be a phenomenal attorney. His knowledge, professionalism and abilities allowed him to get an outstanding result for me in cases that were convoluted between civil, criminal and military issues. It even led to the courts in Colorado ruling in a way that is not customary. If you need a dedicated attorney who has effective communication skills and respect for your situation, Mr. Harris is your attorney

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.

I am very satisfied with the work that Alex McShiras performed in my case. The efficiency and professionalism of his work is what I like the most. He has good communication skills and excellent customer service. He always updated me with what was happening in my case, while I was waiting in detention.
The attorney Alex fought hard to get good results and win my case. I was able to get out of the Immigration Detention Center and he was able to erase my criminal conviction and help me get a better plea deal that did not have bad immigration consequences. The attorney explained things in a simple terms the process of my case and kept me informed when anything happened. He also consulted with before doing any new work on the case and he explained the case strategy in terms that I could understand. I will definitely recommend the Alex McShiras to my friends and relatives.
I would like to thank associate attorney Alex McShiras for his hard work and dedication on this case. He went above and beyond to explain everything to me. I was very stressed out and I was on the verge of deportation. I was detained and he was able to erase my criminal conviction, to help me plead guilty to an offense that was safe for immigration, and to get the deportation charges against me dismissed in immigration court. He got me out of detention and back with my family. I can’t thank Alex enough for his services.

I hired Alex during the summer of 2014 to do my BIA appeal. My former lawyer was not very professional and so I was pleasantly surprised. Alex was professional from day one. He communicated effectively and clearly. The other lawyer told us there was no hope and that I should give up and go back to Mexico.
Alex told us that he could appeal the case and although he could not guarantee a result, he would work hard to win the case. He delivered on his promise. He gave us confidence by working hard and filing our appeal quickly. He sent us copies of everything that he filed. He kept us informed regarding what was happening in the case. in the end, he won my appeal. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who is seeking an immigration attorney. Alex also represented my two children and he has earned my business in the future.

Alex was very good at communicating with me. He has represented me since 2012. My case was very difficult, but he never gave up. I know there are other lawyers in town, but Alex went above and beyond to win my case. He kept me updated on the progress of my case and in the end he helped me obtain my green card. I highly recommend Alex to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer. The Chan Law Firm has represented my family in the past and I have referred other family members to Alex directly. The support staff at Chan Law Firm is very professional and treated me with respect. Alex was honest with me regarding my options and did not give up despite multiple difficulties with USCIS. He fought hard and kept me accountable and engaged in my case to ensure that I got legal permanent residency before I turned 21 years old.

I was having a hard time working through all of the divorce paperwork and Marika was extremely helpful with everything. Without her expertise, I would of been extremely overwhelmed. I truly am grateful for her time and knowledge! Would recommend her for anyone looking for someone to treat you as a person and not another case.

I don't want to get divorced ever again but if I ever do I know to go to Marika. She is very professional and does not make a million useless calls and emails in order to run up a big bill on me. She explained the process in a way I could understand and the case ended in a way that I thought was fair. She can be trusted and I will recommend her to my friends and family.

Marika is the most down to earth law type person I've met. She explained the processes, answered questions and was very responsive when I had a question. I would not hesitate to recommend her services. She described the legal process in a way I could understand, and was there every step of the way. I will use her services again if the need were to arise.

I was working with Gannon Becker, and was treated with immense respect and understanding. These guys were totally worth the money and helped me out every step of the way. I loved the fact that they also sent “check in” texts every week as well. Even if there were no updates. Even in court I had someone say he was jealous of my lawyer.
Thank you so much Right Law!

I came to Mr. Gentry after having been referred to him by some of his peers. Mr. Gentry is a very wise older man, with a great deal of experience. I was charged with a misdemeanor crime, and through his contacts and negotiation, he got me a deal with the DA that was just as good as a dismissal. I would recommend him to anyone.

Its hard to find a good lawyer, I have wasted thousands over the years. Let me tell you why I believe Mr Gentry is the best in town. I had a warrant filed against me for renting a piece of equipment they said i never returned. I called 9 lawyers and they all told me the same thing. That my ONLY OPTION was to go turn myself in at the jail and pay bail($600) and then they could help me once it goes to court. I had a perfectly clean record and couldn't believe it so I kept calling. Mr. Gentry took care of the problem over the phone with minimal effort. Not to mention all the taxpayers dollars he saved by not sending me to court.

Several years ago, I was going through a divorce. I had initially hired another attorney to work on my case. I was concerned about the other attorney's divorce strategy. I hire Justin to confidentially review my case for me. Justin provided me with an excellent divorce strategy, which I implemented thanks to Justin's advice. I am very thankful that I hired Justin to assist me.

I had several meetings with other immigration attorneys regarding my application for citizenship. None of them answered my questions but Mr. Deere did. He was very helpful. He also provided expert testimony in court at the request of another attorney who was helping me to set aside a plea in a criminal case that I had entered into several years ago in violation of my right to effective assistance of counsel. I was able to set aside my plea and got all charges dismissed thanks to Mr. Deere. He really knows immigration law. I highly recommend his services. My family and I pray for him and his family and wish them health , blessing, and peace .

Mr. Deere was so great to work with. He offered honest feedback to my case and helped me explore my options with great openness. He wasn't trying to just make money, he was trying to help me find what works best for me and my family. In the end Mr Deere recommended that we go a different route than we had thought and that worked out fantastically for my family. For someone with little exposure to the legal world, Mr. Deere was a great first contact to help us as a legal consultant to our family challenges!

I contacted 4, yes 4 other lawyers on a very time sensitive immigration issue. Not only did I get to speak to him, he was the ONLY lawyer that could solve my issue. I am not the reviewing type however I could not resist. Joshua was not just acting like a lawyer but someone who actually took the time to make me feel my needs were his priority. Take it from someone who has spoken with the others, call Joshua first!!

The only law group that I have ever been fully satisfied with. Being innocent helped, but I definitely needed a superior lawyer who knew what they were doing, and I surely got that in Casey Kane. Casey connected me with a polygrapher and a forensics specialist, both of whom were of immense assistance in my case. Casey formerly worked on the prosecution side of the law, so his inside knowledge of the workings of the prosecutor's office is an invaluable asset. Casey is a straightforward, no-nonsense attorney who will tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear.
Casey is easygoing and open to talking to as a client, but when it comes to court appearances, he wastes no time and will ensure your case is heard as soon as possible. Chris was also an outstanding attorney who was very friendly and easy to talk to. The office assistants were also outstanding. Aaron always made sure that I knew when I had a court date and what I needed to do. If I ever had a question, I knew that I could get hold of Aaron right away, and he would get me the answer as quickly as possible.
Hopefully, you will never need an attorney, but if you do, I cannot recommend this law group enough.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
