Joseph M Elio

My elderly mother moved to Colorado and we needed to update her Will and Power of Attorney. Joe and the entire team at Law One created a truly amazing experience. We enjoyed the timely and responsive communications with all the necessary preparations. I was impressed with how Joe and the Law One team... listened to all our questions and worked diligently with our timelines. They were extremely welcoming at the office signing, spending the time to make us all comfortable. I strongly endorse trusting Law One for your family’s legal needs.

I am a client that hired Mr. Elio for an accident/injury claim, midstream. I brought Mr. Elio a case which had been severely mismanaged by a former council. The case was in a massive state of unknowledgeable mismanagement. Mr. Elio salvaged it beyond my wildest dreams. There is more than one fiv...e star review for Mr. Elio on this platform. Every five star review, every word of each review matches my experience. The team he has assembled is wonderful. Some of the high notes: - Minimal stress for the client - Determination - Timely - Courteous - Fair - Knowledgable - Explains things well Until you have worked with a team like Law One, you have no basis to understand what does make a good law firm, in practice, not just advertising hype. I now understand a competent legal firm is organized, timely, courteous, considerate, has a detailed knowledge of the medical insurance industry, the law, and is capable of working around the client if need be. Law one is just such a firm. I not only recommend them, but would use them again.

My divorce trial was won 11 months earlier when I hired Joe to be my lawyer. Being a former prosecuting district attorney Joe was heads and shoulders above my wife's attorney. He relied on the law and a professional approach while in court. My wives' lawyer took the dishonorable path of character... assignation and clever word games. If you believe any judge wouldn't be able see through my wife's lawyers antics after listening for years to such antics then you are sorely mistaken. Joe is also an extremely honest business man. I never felt he was overcharging me or looking for some way to run up his bill. In court when I told my wife's attorney that I didn't bother to check his bills she was surprised and said "you really didn't check his bills" and my answer was "why would I". My guess is that her clients checked on her bills and probably for a good reason. Also, Joe is a gentlemen so if you want a "bulldog" you should hire him. If you want to hire a "pit bull" for a lawyer, well I think judges looked at pit bull lawyers like they look at lawyers whose weapons are limited to character assassination and clever, in their opinion, word games. If your getting a divorce get a real lawyer. Get Joe Elio.

Joe Elio took a difficult case regarding a failed business arrangement and was able to mediate a satisfactory conclusion. Joe has a wonderful ability to include his clients in the process of their case. I think few attorneys would allow their clients this access. You will be in good hands with Joe a...nd his wonderful staff.

I cannot recommend Joe highly enough. Joe stuck with me through a protracted, complicated, high-conflict case involving a very litigious ex-spouse and children. Nobody wins in these cases but I think the outcome was as good as it could be. * Very easy to work with. Very clear thinker. Very experie...nced and knowledgeable about the statutes. Very thorough. * Trial conduct was really good - smooth, balanced, and humble. He was able to get his points across clearly without aggravating or alienating the court. He appeared to want to resolve conflict rather than propagate it. I thought he finessed circles around a demonstrative opposing counsel. * Was very diplomatic about driving the case in the most effective way despite my naive attempts to steer it. * In at least two cases I thought Joe was very clever in his trial strategy: * After a very favorable ruling in hearing, opposing counsel continued trying to persuade the judge. Joe did not take the bait but grabbed his things and walked out quickly before the judge could change his mind. * After the court refused a motion for an in-chambers interview with my minor son so that my son could explain himself, the judge railed that my son was not old enough choose his domicile, shouting “if you won't tell him that, bring him in and I’ll tell him myself!” Joe calmly asked what time and date would be convenient for his honor. This move effectively granted the in-chambers interview and in my view completely changed the direction of the case.
