I had a lot of questions about protecting our assets for our daughter and Kathryn made sure all my questions and concerns were taken care of. I highly recommend this firm.
Karen has an amazing and kind spirit. She is very honest and reasonably priced. I'd go as far to say she's not like any other lawyer, she is the type of lawyer you don't dread getting a bill from. We have used her for the past decade for our business and never feel price gouged like we have by many other attorneys. Most recently she even referred us to another attorney when things got complicated with our Commercial lease. Karen specializes in probate and wills. If you are looking for a down to earth lawyer who states things in a way you can understand them. I would choose Karen. She makes you feel at home in her casual, yet professional office.
At Brady, McFarland & Lord, LLC, we are here to help you reach your personal goals. Our philosophy is that our value is in the questions we ask to help you craft the best estate plan or business transaction possible. We consider the legal documents to be a means to an end, namely helping clients protect their loved ones and important assets. We have been serving Arvada, Colorado, and the West Denver metro area for over 30 years and have focused on estate planning and business law for the past 25 years.
We know that the best legal counsel consists of more than just a strong knowledge of the law and how to apply it. Our firm combines three key elements to give our clients well-rounded legal counsel:
Legal competency: With 30 years of legal experience, we have seen a variety of situations and strategies. Our lawyer has a good idea of what will work and what ideas are not likely to be successful.
Family focus: If decisions were made in a vacuum, it would be easy to ignore the ramifications they have. However, because every decision affects other people, it is important to think about the possible outcomes of every possibility. We take the time to learn what is important to our clients, so we can help them make the best decision for their situation.
Individual attention: Although we have been practicing law for almost two decades, we never assume any two clients need the same thing. We see our clients as people, not as case numbers or legal issues. We want to know your hopes, fears and goals, so they can be properly addressed.
When we sit down with clients, we are focused on helping you get the legal information and support you to schedule your free initial consultation. We are here to help you meet your goals.

Honest and Trustworthy
Karen Brady was kind enough and unselfish enough to recommend another attorney to better assist us with my sister's Colorado Fund for People with Disabilities Trust.
Thank you, Karen

Responsive, Internet Savvy, Prompt, Patient, and Helpful
Karen connected with me on Twitter after I tweeted a plea for help with a complicated project agreement. I had been referred to two attorneys by friends: one who never returned my email and another who took almost a week to respond each time we exchanged emails.
After Karen replied to my tweet with a helpful suggestion, we exchanged "hello!" emails, agreed on a price, exchanged contracts, resolved the payment online, and next thing I knew that ornery agreement was back in my Inbox...thoroughly reviewed, edited, and vastly improved in my favor.
This was all via email with two time zones between us. She managed to take care of the entire thing in the less time than it took the other attorney to reply to single email.
I have brought other contracts/agreements to Karen since then and am always grateful for her advice and pleased with her level of service. I trust her and depend on her fully to keep me (and my business) out of harm's way, and I am hugely thankful that she answered my call for help.
