Excellent handling of traffic accident

I recommend attorney Jeffery Weeden. I was involved in a traffic accident and received a careless driving citation. Jeff represented me and accompanied me to my court date. He negotiated a plea bargain with the district attorney that I was happy with. Just as important as his negotiating skill wa...s his ability to counsel me. After the accident I was very stressed out and worried about what might happen. Jeff assured me that it was a routine traffic accident, and that he would handle it so I didn't have to worry about it. He was right. I'm glad that I engaged him to represent me.

GREAT JOB! The best AND most affordable WILDLIFE Attorney I could find!

"Jeffery counsled and defended me against a CPW (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) "Witch Hunt" that challenged my Colorado residency - a challenge based primarily on false accusations brought on by lazy/envious slackers looking to make a quick buck from OGT (Operation Game Thief) by "dropping a dime", (i...f a ticket is just WRITTEN - NOT PROVEN - they collect $500.00...!). "Attorney Weeden took my case on short notice, was available by phone 99% of the time and personally answered every question I had without the need to do any research due to his level of experience. He actually knew the CPW officer that wrote the citation(s) and had dealt with him many times before. I feel this was instrumental in convincing this officer that his "case" relied mainly on statements made by unreliable "pill popping" witnesses that had a financial incentive to make false accusations through "Operation Game Thief" - which led to a "quick offer to settle" at the first - and ONLY hearing. Although my case was certainly "winnable" at trial, Jeffery took the time to explain that sometimes it is best to do the "smart" thing (after he negotiated an "acceptable" plea bargain...) - rather than devote the time, effort, anxiety and expense for a "chance" at justice - with no guarantee for " justice"....ouch! I went from facing months of litigation, numerous hearings, a possible loss of hunting privileges for years and about $10,000.00 in fines/costs to NO loss of privileges, a "manageable" fine/donation, and most importantly CLOSURE in about 15 minutes actual court time. I HIGHLY recommend that you contact Jeffery for any CPW/wildlife related advice. He is very knowledgeable, personable, frank, professional and surprisingly affordable."

MR. WEEDEN was a great help!

Mr. Weeden responded to my email immediately. He understood the problem with the summons and said he would try to talk to the clerks in the courthouse, I'm in Texas and he is in Denver. He did that and avoided having to show up in front of the judge. I was able to pay the fine on line. I would recom...mend him highly.

Excellent lawyer and person

I went to Mr. Weeden after I personally filed a petition to seal a charge on my record. The judge not only denied my petition but also stated that any future petitions would also most likely be denied. After meeting with Jeff he prepared and filed an exceptional petition to seal. I was still a bit wo...rried because of what the judge stated in my original petition, so imagine my excitement when Jeff personally called me to tell me my petition had been granted. I no longer had to worry about not getting a job because of a mistake I had made when I was young. I am so great full for everything Mr. Weeden has done for me

First-rate legal service in Steamboat Springs

I initially found Jeff Weeden in 2005 when I was seeking advice about lease agreement issues. During our work together, I found Mr. Weeden to be very personable and have been impressed by his straightforward and honest explanations of the law. Some of my concerns in 2005-2006 involved roommate situat...ions and Mr. Weeden advised me on which battles were worth fighting and what to do in the future to prevent the same problems from reoccurring. In 2007 I contacted Mr. Weeden about a more serious legal situation, I was facing a criminal court proceeding. During my consultation Mr. Weeden explained the charges against me and the consequences I could be facing. During this very stressful time, it quickly became apparent that I made the best decision in having Mr. Weeden and the Feldmann Nagel team represent my defense. Mr. Weeden explained each step of the process, prepared me for what to expect, and went beyond the call of duty being available to calm my anxieties. At the conclusion of my case, Mr. Weeden worked out a plea agreement with the prosecuting attorney which resulted in all of the charges against me being dropped, as well as my arrest and criminal records being sealed. Considering the severity of the charges, (two felonies, one misdemeanor), attaining these results without taking the case to trial took patience, persistence, and an outstanding knowledge of the legal system. It is reassuring to know that Mr. Weeden’s firm has strong ties with the Steamboat community and that their work is highly regarded within the legal system. Had I chosen different legal representation, I am certain that the outcome of my case would not have been as favorable. Additionally, Mr. Weeden was receptive to my concerns about privacy and, despite Steamboat being a small town, was able to avoid the local newpaper from becoming interested in the case. I have a great deal of trust and respect for Mr. Weeden, and continue to consult with him for legal advice. Now, in 2011, I am working with one of his associates on estate planning, involving preparation of a trust document. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr. Weeden for legal services. Whether you are dealing with routine legal matters or are in the midst of a legal crisis, Mr. Weeden and his team provide compassionate and professional service, and have the power to attain the best possible outcomes for their clients.
