This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Job well done

It's not a day go by that I don't think of Tae D. He became part of our family. I was told my case would be very hard to win and that we should get a court appointed attorney. My husband came to this country to work and provide for our family here and abroad but one night our lives changed forever. H...e was accursed of sexual assault on the job. I was scared and lost. My husband went to jail for the first time in his life. I called around to friends for advice and this name kept coming up...Tae Darnell. I called and that's when the magic started to happen. Tae got My husband out of jail, he gave us the name of his private investigator, we met constantly and he even brought on 2 more attorneys. This was a hard case, she was white he was black-African and we were in an all white area...I seriously just wanted to give up. But not Tae, he say said trust me...my team and I will get you guys out of this horrible mess. And he they did. The truth came out. She wanted money from the company we worked for. But we won!!! and the she ended up having to pay us $250,000. We haven't seen the money but we have our life back. Honestly if it wasn't for Tae D I would not have gotten my life back. Thanks Tae

Excellent

I needed help with some complicated issues and he not only addressed them all, represented me in a professional and helpful way. Mr. Darnell exceeded my expectations and arranged for all the problems to be settled in a way i would have never expected. Wow!

Tae Darnell review

Tae handled himself very professionally throughout the case I hired him for and continued to be helpful and supportive after the the court proceedings. I also felt that Mr. Darnell actually wanted to help me , I don't feel like my case was just another job for him. So I will definetly use his servi...ces again if needed(hopefully not) and highly recommend this attorney to my fellow Coloradans. Especially those in need of mmj defense.

Tae Darnell: approachable, responsible, REAL

Tae Darnell is one of the most personable lawyers we could imagine. Very knowledgeable and informative and stays on the case. He's been immeasurably helpful with agreements and helping our business stay within the parameters of city and state regulations.
