THANK YOU! FULL DEPOSIT BACK

My situation was so hard on me that I even got sick physically. After I spoke to the lawyer at this office my whole way of thinking and my whole way of viewing people I trust had changed. After I sent out and uninhabitable form to the lease office I was renting from, the lease office had an attorney ...after me, I wasn't scared of them anymore, not even their attorney was able to stop me. I fought to get my deposit money back. I finally got my full deposit back. I would have sticking thoughts that they were taking me court, but they didn't instead they backed off. The lawyer that helped me out told me to stayed calmed through out this situation, that sometimes when we get our heads in the lions mouth, we must get out of it slow. He was right, It was a scary situation, but I stayed direct and got my full deposit back. This was a good lawyer, I was helped out by him only, nobody else wanted to helped me, I was even told to leave it alone by my friends, I was told take my losses, but I knew that I was being taken advantage and I had to fight for what was mine. THANK YOU!! I don't know what else I would've had done but I'm so blessed and happy it was this office I called.

Many thanks, great Lawyer

Ms. Jones helped me prepare a very long and seemingly (to Me at least ) complicated answer to a complaint. Ms. Jones was able to guide me through what I could expect to experience and how to approach the challenges in my case. I am forever thankful to Ms. Jones And her staff for their patience and ...professionalism.

Highly Recommend Colorado Affordable Legal Services, LLC

Colorado Affordable Legal Services, LLC, has been a blessing to me and my brothers, my brothers have been wrongfully evicted and Colorado Affordable Legal Services, LLC provided us with very helpful information. They got us in on the same day that I called which was wonderful. The staff are such cari...ng individuals, we went there feeling defeated and when we left we felt powerful and that we could fight the wrongful eviction. I would highly recommend that if you are having any landlord issues or you feel as though you are being singled out to call them. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Such a great service for tenants who are facing bully landlords who lie.

I was not sure at first if I could afford $100 but found out that was an investment that saved me over a possible $1600 loss of money. The advice and preparation I came to court help me convince the mediator alone that my case was true and right.

Incredible Attorney, Incredible team. WOW!

I was facing an immediate eviction from my apartment in Englewood. My neighbor beneath my apartment had been abusive and belligerent from the get-go but this was unbelievable. I had been in the hospital across the street on a suicide watch after an unfortunate social experience. This neighbor worke...d at this hospital and accessed my hospital files. She said based on her evidence-a copy of my ER records that she had grounds for my eviction and arrest and got another neighbor (who bothers all the other single women) to corroborate her lie. I had a Demand for Compliance or Possession order taped to my door. Attorney April and her Legal Assistant Floyd cut to the chase with pinpoint precision to check this in the required number of hours to respond. WOW! This team will help you restore and enforce your rights. Done. Legal Assistant Floyd will calmly help you to create your list to prep for your intake. Try to remain calm and have all documents/texts, etc. centralized in a folder in order to facilitate and get as much as you can accomplished during your intake and take clean notes if you need to. Who are they? Highly skilled and knowledgeable, compassionate, advocacy centered, efficient, highly accessible people. Beautiful historic relaxed office space accessible by all means of transportation directly behind the CO State Capitol complex in Denver. Highly reasonable rates, so much for their time. Be proactive and prepare yourself for your housing emergency room experience (no pun intended) and share the wealth with your friends, family, and others-business cards please. Consider this team the A+++ team for AAA for a housing "breakdown." Highly productive and pleasurable experience! Kudos, April and Floyd: you rock the house and check those housing bullies. Thanks :)

Avvo Rating

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.
