He is the truth.

If you need a criminal defense attorney, he is the one. I am generally untrusting of people, most people I’ve known are disappointing at best.. I don’t think too highly of many people and I never thought I would have such a positive opinion of a lawyer..he is the best attorney you will find, period. ...But the fact that he truly is just a genuine and truthful person is what makes him so amazing. He will be straight with you and ask you what you are wanting the end result to be and he will tell you what he can do and what his honest opinion is..he doesn’t give you false promises and he really actually cares about his clients. You can’t fake that. Being in a situation where you need a defense attorney is obviously not something anyone looks forward to, he never made me feel like he was judging me, he’s easy to talk to. It’s a good feeling knowing you aren’t just another number to someone, not just a file but a real person. If you are on the fence about getting representation or going with a public defender, there’s just no comparison really..his rates are super reasonable, really he should be charging a lot more than he does. I honestly can’t thank him enough and if you are stressed out, nervous, looking for someone to represent you..just know going with him will be the best choice you ever make. He isn’t like any other lawyer you’ll find, he renewed my faith in people for sure.

BEST! LAWYER! EVER! ... I've had others to compare to

Kevin Pauly is everything a lawyer should be! I am a young scientist, father, and an anti-authoritarian. I’ve interacted with fascist police far too often in my life and was recently wrongfully charged by one. I’ve spoken with many attorneys over the years & most come across as sleazy, slimy, conmen ...that are only interested in representing you to make money. Kevin Pauly is the antithesis of a sleazy lawyer & has completely opened my mind & heart to how good a lawyer can be - and how good people can be! Kevin is highly intelligent, competent, and just flat-out knows his stuff! Many times I proposed a strategy to Kevin and he would explore it with me and almost always responded with a perspective that I found far better! As a math & science person, Kevin’s willingness to consider & discuss strategy is what I need in a lawyer; I don’t want a lawyer who I argue with, but since I’m paying them to represent me I required that my wishes are front and center in the direction of their motives to act on my behalf. What a surprise it was when Kevin continually reframed our strategy in ways that were just simply far better than what I initially proposed...Needless to say, I knew I had hired a brilliant lawyer! Strategy is one thing, but implementing strategy that manifests the desire outcome is what really matters. Kevin flat out got the prosecuting attorney to dismiss my case! No deferred prosecution, no deferred sentence, no deferred judgment, but a straight out dismissal of my charges, stating “reason: in the interest of justice”!!! When I say “Kevin got the attorney to...” I mean it!. When I spoke with the city attorney at my arraignment I was offered no deal of any kind. After a series of meetings & phone calls with Kevin, she became very helpful [and I thank her & Kevin both for that]. Kevin was able to build up agreement between himself and the city attorney to dismiss the charges. Kevin is a such a pleasant, intelligent, and genuine person to converse with! I believe his positivity is elemental to his ability to argue the heart of the matter while suppressing unhelpful adversely stances on either side. Kevin is a wonderful & genuine human being, who just happens to be a brilliant lawyer! I cannot thank you enough Kevin for all you help! You’ve been such a positive force in my life! Jeremy PS I now dealt with another lawyer in a messy divorce in a different state. I wish I could've have had Kevin! His dedication to detail, prompt communication, preparation, and keen intellect are far beyond what other encountered from any other lawyer!

Excellent Traffic and Criminal Defense Attorney!

I’d like to share my personal recommendation for along with my satisfaction with the excellent legal services and experience I had with the Law Office of Kevin Pauly. I was facing a very complicated legal situation that was keeping me from getting a driver’s license. There was 4 traffic cases and... multiple legal statutes involved. I had reached a point where fulfilling the requirements for reinstatement was so intimidating that I had pretty much given up hope that I would ever legally drive again in the state of Colorado. Luckily a friend referred me to Kevin Pauly. I met with Kevin Pauly, at his office in Denver and he demonstrated an excellent understanding of the driving under restraint (DUR) laws and statutes that were precluding me from getting a license. I explained to Kevin that my first priority was to avoid any jail time and that my second priority was to save as much time and money as possible throughout the process. Kevin made a commitment to those goals but explained honestly that there was a chance of failure on both. After working together for 6 months on my cases I can now happily report that I have done NO jail time and that Kevin’s intimate understanding of the legal system has saved me significant money and time. Kevin actually got 2 potentially very expensive cases completely dropped due to his intimate knowledge of the legal system and negotiating ability with the City of Aurora district attorney. I would also like to give a personal character reference for Kevin Pauly, he holds himself to utmost ethical standards of his profession but has a dogged determination to save his clients the most time and money on their legal challenges. Kevin is also very personable, professional, easy to communicate with and I consider to be a genuine friend. Kevin is the owner/operator of his own practice so if you are looking to be treated like a valued client and a person, as opposed to a case number, that is the service provided. If you are facing a legal situation that has you overwhelmed and confused, I urge you to contact Kevin Pauly today. If you would like to confirm, my reference feel free to contact me through my website below. Sincerely, Jonathan [removed by Avvo Staff] [removed by Avvo Staff]
