My experience in real estate and as a Board of Adjustment Member and Planning Commissioner have helped me to understand this system from the municipality's perspective .

    I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in many types of civil litigation. Most of these cases are in someway related to real estate but not always.

Landlords must comply with the CO Security Deposit Act or they risk being sued for triple the amount of the security deposit plus attorney fees.
Marijuana is legal in CO but Landlords still have the right to refuse to allow tenants to use or possess in the leased premises.

Excellent legal advice and quick response time
I asked Attorney Eby a few questions and received a response very quickly. He answered each question and gave me guidelines as to what my legal options were in the future. His advice was just what I need and I was glad for the quick response.
Response from Donald Eby August 28, 2015
Thank you for the excellent review. I'm glad my advice worked out for you.

Outstanding
"I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. Don Eby focused on my issue like it was a million-dollar affair, and resolved it in a short time, keeping me informed every step of the way. He's ethical, knowledgeable, and someone with strong people skills, making dealing with him a relatively pleasant experience in a possibly difficult situation. Don's an outstanding problem solver who made the resolution of my case, in my opinion, a win-win solution."

Crazy Tenant Situation
Mr. Eby was very helpful in resolving an issue with our tenant. He was in constant contact with me, keeping me informed of the situation and listing the available options that we could proceed with. I highly recommend Mr. Eby and I will be contacting him again if the need arises.
Response from Donald Eby March 23, 2013
Thanks Jodi - I'm happy we were able to quickly resolve your tenant problem.

Outstanding Professionalism and Service
I would highly recommend this attorney. I had issues with a renter/property law. I was in constant contact with Mr. Eby who replied to my e-mails promptly and returned my calls. He lead me through a legal quagmire with skill, determination, and professionalism. I couldn't recommend Mr. Eby highly enough. This law office is now my home for all legal needs. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Highly reliable lawyer
Don is extremely cordial, knowledgeable, and is quick to respond to any real estate questions and concerns that I've had. He makes the difficult easy to understand. My highest recommendation goes to him.
Posted by Michael | January 5, 2013
Corky Eby is THE best attorney I know...PERIOD!
I've known Corky for 10 years and served with him in the United States Navy. I trust Corky with my life and did just that numerous times while deployed to the Persian Gulf during combat flight operations aboard the USS Nimitz. When it came to selecting an attorney to help me with my own real estate and business legal needs, I wanted Corky on my team...not just because of our past relationship in the Navy, but because of his amazing depth and breadth of expertise, knowledge and capability in the realm of real estate, corporate and civil law. Simply put, he's the best...and i know a LOT of lawyers! I retain Corky for all of my legal needs now.

Not the right fit
Mr Eby was upfront and to the point. Although he was unable to assist us, he was genuine about it. At least he took the time to respond back to us.

Thanks for the comment and I wish I could have helped you.

Get ready to be passed off
Consultation was great for a REAL ESTATE dispute. Agreed to have him represent us, and was immediately passed off to a criminal defense attorney that didn't know anything about real estate law. Had to fire him and get knowledgeable attorney from a different form. Thanks for wasting a month of our time and thousands of dollars Donnald.

Horrible!
Argumentative, arrogant, misleading. It's like he wants his own client to lose. I don't know why this guy is in the business, he likes to argue but he is terrible at the job of representing. Wouldn't recommend him to anyone!
Response from Donald Eby February 8, 2017
I apologize for offending you. If you will call my office 303-688-0944 I'll do my best to help you. Is this posting the result of a free consultation? I suspect that I did not provide the answers that you had hoped to hear. If this is the case I encourage you to call back to speak with another attorney at our firm to test your legal theory. If you were a client I encourage you to contact my firm, speak to Bill, I'd really like to learn from this so that no future client is disappointed as you seem to be.

Terrible representation!!!!!
We had a zoning issue where Mr. EB's letter to the board of adjustment stated that I didn't do what they were alleging and that I did do what they were all edging in the next paragraph. He also said they were not be looking at law to make their decision but they did and we paid him $10,000 and got little in return. He really didn't put up a fight for us at the hearing I felt that his zoning knowledge was insufficient I knew more about the Douglas County zoning resolution then Mr. EBY did.
