At first Torrey seemed like she was knowledgeable and great to work with. However shortly after she became very non-responsive and would blow off meetings after numerous, countless attempts. Please don’t waste your time and go with another practice.

Torrey was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find justice in two different, very difficult cases. Minor details, which could have easily been overlooked, were the ultimately the key to helping me win my cases and she was able to pick up on those small-print details in my documents and bring them to light in court.

My wife Lora and I consider Ralph and the rest of his office to be LIFESAVERS! We had to fight to keep our home after the seller breached our contract & were literally trying to steal our home from us! During this INCREDIBLY stressful time, not only was Ralph always the voice of experience, counsel & reason, but also of comfort, allowing us to digest this ordeal with wisdom instead of emotion. Thank you Ralph & all at Cantafio Law! We will refer you to anyone in need of your services.

The senior associate Katherine Karstetter allows her clients to violate laws and encourages them to file false government reports saying they have a right. Falsifying reports to the FBI, police, making calls to anyone who knows me and scouting USA is not okay trying to get me fired, and trying to stop my advocacy, training and support of disabled, low income, and children is not okay. Shame on you. Glad you defend people who have no defense. It is okay for your client to have my information my family's information our addresses, phone numbers, license plate numbers on sticky notes in her possession.You defend and believe pathological liers who report false felony accusations, who has a personality disorders when you know they are mentally ill. Shame on you.
Abusing and neglecting your child is not okay, and continuing to affect children's and others mental health, and physical health with inappropriate interactions is not okay. Your law firm should be about facts and the truth not defending blatant liers and allowing them to stalk and abuse people. But yes you are a shoulder to cry on that obviously does not have the mental capacity or morals to distinguish right from wrong. Shame on you....
You said I court anyone has a right to file complaints so here it is. You are a guardian ad lidium Shame on you, you do not protect anyone.

I would give zero stars if I could. I was supposed to be served with court papers and he emailed me an attachment with an unfinished report without the case number and no court room. It said if you can not make it to court you can attend through WebEx. He sent me to the wrong court room on the wrong county. I still have not been served papers probably. They will not return my calls or texts.

A cesspool of legal malpractice. I watched several parents go through agonizing ordeals despite ORPC being aware (and failing to intervene). Lots of embedded institutional bias, particularly towards Hispanic clients. In my opinion, ORPC needs a leadership change and more judicial scrutiny.

Once I got in contact with them they fairly quickly reached out to my lawyer and he became response after that so I do appreciate that. But then after I needed to speak with them again I've called 5 times and I'm still awaiting a call back. It's very frustrating.

Thank you both to Attorney Conor Stewartson and Paralegal Diane Barrera at Colorado Legal Defense Group for representing our daughter in her criminal defense case.
My husband and I spoke to several Attorney firms to help us and after speaking with Diane and the Intake Attorney Cole Presnell, we decided to go with their firm. I can honestly say that Diane was key in helping us make the decision to use their firm. She was very understanding and genuinely cared, being a mother herself. She was available early on and even followed up to make sure we landed safely in CO that same evening to be there for our daughter.
Conor was assigned to our case and I was advised although he was new with the firm he had an extensive background as a Criminal defense Attorney. Initially, I was concerned w/him being new to the firm but after speaking with him, doing a background check and reading up on him, he put those concerns to rest.
There were times it was difficult to get a hold of Conor but my understanding was his contact phone was still being setup at the time, since he was new w/the firm. But he did return my call when I really needed him over the weekend on a late evening. Also, Diane was always available even on weekends (not normal or expected) and kept the communication going if Conor was not available due to being in court or working w/another client.
Ultimately, the outcome of our case was in our daughter's favor and it was completely dismissed all due to the hard work of both Conor and Diane. Their skill set and ability to do what they do, fighting on our daughter's behalf produced the best outcome possible and we are so thankful to them both!
The billing process early on was easy and in speaking w/Diane that was not even a concern at the time with what was going on. Which truly shows the caliber of the firm and their people as a whole of who they are and what they are about.
We are thankful to both Conor and Diane and are truly blessed to have been represented by them, but as I mentioned to Diane, we pray we never need their services again! But would definitely recommend them and the firm if we ever needed legal help.

I worked with Chloe and she handled my entire case, from start to finish, with complete confidence and attention to detail. She saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in a variety of different actions. I am grateful for her understanding and support. I do think it matters which attorney you get assigned to, but I will just leave it at that. Ask for Chloe if she’s available. She was exemplary and always left me feeling like my case was the number one priority.

Maxted Law (David Maxted) made a traumatic and difficult legal experience regarding the wrongful death of a loved one, tolerable, supportive, and even healing. David's (and his team's) compassion, kindness, brilliance, and patience were of critical support to me in a very challenging time. He was always respectful and never pressured me as he presented legal options, weighed pros and cons and potential outcomes, and honored my needs and desires, as well as, my grief process. He took the time to know me and my situation, yet remained objective. His intelligence and competence were beyond what I could have hoped for and he was willing to "take on" agencies for justice that others were not-- WITH SUCCESS. I cannot recommend Maxted Law enough!

In 1994, David Lane, represented me against the Colorado Prison System for setting me up to be severely hurt. Recently while going through all the legal work from that case(93-n-2129), I discovered if not for David, I probably would have been set up to murdered by the corrupt guards & officials of that era. David fought for me behind the scenes like a pit bull. Thank you David! I'm humbled and grateful for what you did for me.

When he handled a case in which I was the victim, Jbili showed up with no investigator’s notes and no idea what, if anything, the county’s investigators had discovered.
Ironically, the accused was readily available and easily located had Jbili only done his job. Due to his lack of professionalism the guilty party walked.
Maybe he’s mended his ways but my experience is that once a lawyer is a slacker he’ll always be a slacker.

Mr. Jbili, is an in competent attorney. Takes your money and you get a plea deal. Mr. Jbili is not in it to fight for you he’s in it to make a quick 5,000.00. Then he forces you to take a plea. That’s why he’s cheaper than other well know. Attorneys because he is not willing to fight for you. And everything you ask him is always bad news. Never anything positive from this man. He is not an honest attorney and he was conversating with the so called victim, who set me up. Please if you care about your family member do not retain this man. He’s not worth it. He lies also. Who wants an attorney like this? No one. BEWARE OF KHALID JBILI. Don’t waste your time or money.

I had been going through a terribly contentious divorce where my ex was totally uncooperative with the orders of the court and left me in a very difficult position. She was ordered to participate in the division of marital property including dividing the home equity, and bank accounts, savings bonds and mutual funds. My ex did her best to block nearly everything that was ordered by the court and after some good work from my original lawyer after some time this lawyer just gave up. I then hired David Gibans and it was one of the best moves I ever made.
David stepped into the breach picking up the pieces and worked to get a Promissory Note created for half the equity in my former marital home as ordered by the court. David Gibans actually had to go to the court and have the court create the Promissory Note since my ex would not do what was required.
We then proceeded to get a number of retirement mutual funds divided as was ordered by the court. Again, the ex was totally uncooperative and only with great persistence were we able to get the assets divided by the very hard work from David Gibans. After several years of legal fighting, we were finally able to get done what was ordered by the court.
Only recently did we finally complete the divorce settlement with the forced sale of the marital home and the division of the home equity. Again, my ex was totally uncooperative, and we had to take her to court via a contempt action. This was only accomplished only by the incredibly hard work provided by a lawyer the likes of which you would be hard pressed to find anywhere.
I cannot make a higher recommendation for a lawyer who will sit down with you and understand you needs and will work tirelessly to get justice you deserve. David will sit down and really listen to you and his knowledge of the law and the courts would be very hard to top. David is a true professional and is a great attorney. I would be in a very difficult situation without David’s hard work and I cannot thank him enough.

I had finally come to the realization that my ugly marriage of 15 years was no longer working out and that it was simply time to move on. The normal worries continued to creep up. Would I be able to see my kids as much as i wanted? How much would i lose in the divorce? I was referred to David by a friend and could not have been happier with the results, from the initial conciliation, to the final outcome. David was professional, honest, and above all else i felt that he truly cared instead of many lawyers who just see you as a case number. He kept me up to date throughout the process and was incredibly prepared for trial. I ended up with a result that my friends told me was not possible, but he his continued resilience and full-on attitude got me majority custody, with less loss capital than i anticipated. I would truly recommend David to anyone in need of a lawyer who does not want to be overcharged or go through the big corporations.

David Gibans was totally inept in the courtroom and his preparation work before trial turned out to be equally bad. I can't know the reason why, but he could NOT complete a thought or follow his own line of questioning in court. He would ask the first question of a witness and then lose his focus and ask no further questions. He started questioning my ex by handing her the wrong document to read. He would take notes as if he had the next question ready, but then just stare at that piece of paper and never think of the question I thought he had prepared. (This was when the judge would tell him he seemed to be intentionally slowing the trial.) I fired him mid-trial after the judge accused him three times of intentionally slowing the trial and my uncle, who came from Maryland to watch the trial, told me at the first break that, "Your lawyer is inept!" Before trial, Gibans had me send him the same documents two, three, or more times when he could not remember them from other times--and, of course, he charged me for each time. He had me prepare document packets to show proof of my ex's lies. I created 20 of these packets, and he told me they were just what he wanted, but he submitted NONE of them to the court!!! When I told him I wanted a refund, he refused and threatened that if I pursued things with my charge card companies to stop payment of just some of the legal fees, he threatened to put a lien on my house--which is now being forced sold because of his ineptness. Trustworthy? NO WAY!!!!! My case involved 3 mental illnesses on the part of my partner and "gay issues," and I tried to tell him many times that it was NOT going to be the simple contract issue he thought. He would not listen to me. He didn't bother to even research the issues of this trial, so his knowledge base was very limited. He was horrid at keeping me informed about anything. When I would ask him how he was going to use those packets or what his plan was for trial, I consistently got "I don't know yet" and/or "I haven't decided yet." David Gibans is NEITHER a capable mediator nor litigator. We got one shot a mediation and I had assumed he would lead the way. He did nothing but stop me from presenting the 5 packets about lies that I had prepared at that point, saying, "Not now." I assumed he had other plans for them. WRONG! I paid him $40,000 to be totally inept! Avoid this lawyer at all costs--literally!!! I would also suggest that you always stick with a lawyer in the same town. I was in Colorado Springs and the judge had no clue who Gibans was and seemed to have that bias about "out-of-town" lawyers--not to mention the extra legal fees in driving time for every hearing and court date.

JLongtin Law was recommended to me by someone at NAMI Law Line. I found this firm to be highly unethical and frequently dishonest.
Jen Longtin won't see you without charging $175 for an hour long "working session" when other attorneys offer a free hour long consultation. I scheduled a session with the explicit agreement up front that Jen would be my attorney. Halfway through, she told me two of her junior staff would be taking my case. I had no say. She ended the working session early but charged the full amount.
They were supposedly giving me the CARe discount, so I thought it was worth giving them the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. When I checked in later about other fees, Jen changed them and didn't recall her original quotes. It was obvious that Jen and her team weren't attorneys I could count on.
I let them know I was firing JLongtin Law and Jen Longtin informed me they'd "expedited" my case during a holiday week and gone through my entire retainer in the two days between the working session and the day I fired them. What a surprise. JLongtin Law can't be trusted.

Unfortunately, I have the jaded reputation of a serial criminal defendant for over the last thirty years. Accordingly, I know what separates an exceptional criminal defense attorney from the crowd of disasters. Associates, friends, inquirers, and even one court clerk have asked me, "How is it possible that (I) can continue to remain at large." To all inquirers I say, "The secret to liberty is in having an exceptionally good defense attorney," and my not-so-secret weapon in court is Jennifer. She is so good in court in court, that she is not only entertaining, but she even convinces me that I'm not guilty. I fully recommend her and her law firm to anyone who has the need of an attorney offering exceptionally superior defense.

No one wants to hire a defense attorney. Unfortunately, there are circumstances that warrant a person's need and right to hire a lawyer. I was recently in this boat and had the honor and pleasure of working with Jen. Jen stood by my side during the entire process. Having zero relationship with the court system she was able to answer all of my questions during the process no matter how trivial. She also was able to explain everything in terms that made sense to me. I would recommend Jen to anyone that needs a defense attorney she is kind, understanding and tough as nails in the courtroom.

I unfortunately hired Devon Neill to represent me in a personal injury claim. I found Devon Neill very unprofessional, incompetent and constantly out lawyered by the insurance company’s lawyer, I thought it was bad. I did not find her aggressive as she stated to me in the beginning. I attended several hearings with Devon Neill. My observations were that Devon Neill lacked basic legal knowledge on numerous occasions, such as Bates Labeling. I found Devon Neill’s representation so unprofessional and dishonest that I filled a complaint with the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. After their investigation, the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel gave Devon Neill a diversion agreement.
In my opinion, hiring Devon Neill is the worst thing I ever did. Please do not make the same mistake.

Devon recently represented me while I was going through a very difficult time in my life. She guided me through the legal process effectively and concisely, and was very productive in dealing with all parties. She took on my case and represented me as if it were she. She not only represented me as an attorney, she also became a friend. I highly respect and recommend Devon to anyone needing legal representation.

Truth be told - This attorney did not honor his original fee negotiation, deceived his client and inflated his bill. Then he emptied bank accounts of his client's friend to pay himself - with the blessing of a judge's order. Is this fair and ethical practice? He knew exactly what he was doing.

Patrick took our son's case when he assualted someone. Our son faced several charges; including attempted 1st degree murder.
Patrick went to visit him in the county jail and immediately observed and believed something was wrong with his demeanor. Because of Patrick's familiarity with human behavior and knowledge regarding people in custody after his visit with our son, he recommended our son be immediately evaluated by a doctor. This lead to several doctors evaluating him and our son being diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Due to our son's diagnosis Patrick was able to begin discussing a strategy for our son's case and built a winning team to assist in his court case.
Patrick was very honest regarding what we were facing as a family, including the charges, the time frame of the case in each scenario, and the financial aspect. We were impressed with Patrick's assentiveness in learning everything he could regarding our son's mental illness to better serve him in his criminal case.
During the entire case Patrick was available for our son and our family. As a family there was never a time we felt like Patrick wasn't available or that we didn't know what was happening in our son's case. Patrick is dependable and his communication was more than exceptional rather it was in person, telephone or email. He always knew where we were in our son's case and the next steps in the legal process.
Patrick knows the law. Our son was more than a case for Patrick and he fought for our son's life, rights and his freedom. We would recommend Patrick to anyone.
Our son pleaded Not Guilty By Reason Of Insanity and won!

Jennifer Wunsch helped us when our son were in trouble after getting a DUI in Boulder, Colorado. We were out of the country for that year, so it was really hard for us to help our son in person.
Jennifer Wunsch did an excellent job with our son, talked us through the whole process, kept us informed and gave us great advice during this process. Our son was very pleased with her, and we will highly recommend Jennifer Wunsch to anyone that need legal advice.
First of all she was more professional than any of the other lawyers we talked to - and secondly she never failed once in any way to keep us updated, and with the advice she gave our son and us we could not be more grateful to her. On top of it she were very respectful and understanding towards us, and had a very kind way of helping us through this tough and challenging time.
We can highly recommend her services to anyone that had made a mistake like our son did.

Jennifer is the type of person you can sincerely trust to get you out of whatever mess your in legally, she's on top of all her work and lets you know (with a good attitude and outlook) where you stand with your situation. Gives you the facts in an organized manner. She was super informative about everything that was going on regarding my DUI case and even though I blew extremely hot, she got it reduced to a DWAI. She has a talent for her work. I recommend her because she will take care of you like she did with me. She's a people-person too.

Not worth the $275 per hour. I think I would have been just as well served with an attorney that was priced more fairly. Not familiar with all the nuances of DUI laws even though they expressed to be experts. Final fee was far more than initially quoted and outcome was not what we were led to believe was likely.

The senior associate Katherine Karstetter allows her clients to violate laws and encourages them to file false government reports saying they have a right. Falsifying reports to the FBI, police, making calls to anyone who knows me and scouting USA is not okay trying to get me fired, and trying to stop my advocacy, training and support of disabled, low income, and children is not okay. Shame on you. Glad you defend people who have no defense. It is okay for your client to have my information my family's information our addresses, phone numbers, license plate numbers on sticky notes in her possession.You defend and believe pathological liers who report false felony accusations, who has a personality disorders when you know they are mentally ill. Shame on you.
Abusing and neglecting your child is not okay, and continuing to affect children's and others mental health, and physical health with inappropriate interactions is not okay. Your law firm should be about facts and the truth not defending blatant liers and allowing them to stalk and abuse people. But yes you are a shoulder to cry on that obviously does not have the mental capacity or morals to distinguish right from wrong. Shame on you....
You said I court anyone has a right to file complaints so here it is. You are a guardian ad lidium Shame on you, you do not protect anyone.

I would give zero stars if I could. I was supposed to be served with court papers and he emailed me an attachment with an unfinished report without the case number and no court room. It said if you can not make it to court you can attend through WebEx. He sent me to the wrong court room on the wrong county. I still have not been served papers probably. They will not return my calls or texts.

Amanda was appointed by the court to represent me. She failed at even the most basic tasks. One of her motions was so filled with spelling errors that it was barely understandable. She was very disorganized, it took more than 5 meetings for her to remember to bring one key document which made things take forever. Two weeks before trial, after her having 8 months to prepare and an investigator to assist her, she revealed that she was so unprepared for court that I would have to suffer 6 more months of anxiety about the case while she continued to prepare. I wound up taking a plea deal for something I didn't do just to be able to get on with my life. Don't waste your time, hire a real lawyer instead.

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.
