Beware This Attorney

My personal opinion is that Ashley Opfer and this firm were incompetent in our case. Ms. Opfer is barely two years out of law school but is supposedly the owner of this practice. Was told that we had a very favorable case in family law jurisdictional issue after I paid them specifically for due d...iligence on the law. They botched it so badly the judge called the case "groundless" and awarded attorneys fees to the other side. When I complained and asked for our fees back, they dropped the case and woukd not meet with me to resolve. I have since filed ethics complaints with the Colorado Supreme Court. I highly recommend avoiding this firm.

Troy, We are sorry that you were disappointed with your legal representation. Your statements about Ms. Opfer's experience and length of practice are false. We agree that, based on the facts you initially presented to us, you had a very favorable jurisdictional case. However, there were significant facts that were omitted in our initial consultation with you and that were not disclosed to us prior to the hearing in your matter when they were raised by the opposing party. We do strongly encourage our clients to be open and honest with us at the outset of a case so that we can give accurate counsel and advice. We are disappointed that you claim that we did not work with you in regards to your legal fees and did not meet with you to discuss the issue. We met with you on at least two occasions after your case was resolved, each of these meetings being at no cost. We also offered to meet with you to reach an amicable resolution after the Supreme Court Attorney Regulation Counsel determined that your complaints against us were false and unfounded. You declined to meet with us and failed to respond to any attempt we made to communicate with you. We understand that you have raised similar grievances with other attorneys you have worked with in the past. We are sorry that you have felt let down by the legal community and the judicial system as a whole. We hope that any experiences you have with the legal system in the future are more agreeable. Sincerely, Opfer & Stowell P.C.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
