Terrible Experience in an Already Stressful Scenario

Knicky is nice and informative, but I feel absolutely taken advantage of financially. My husband and I are remaining married but pursued legal separation for other reasons. Even with a minor, our separation was almost entirely uncontested and agreeable. Somehow working with her cost me more than $15...,000. When I looked into it, I was billed for weekly internal meetings that, in my opinion, should have either been open for me to attend or overhead and not billable to the client. When I reviewed the agreement with the billing department and expressed my concerns about being charged more than $2000 for these meetings, I was basically told they reserve the right (in not so many words). She and her paralegal insisted on continuing working on my case (and thereby racking up my bill) despite 3 separate emails asking them to pause. I am glad my days working together are behind me and would not recommend her or Colorado Legal Group.

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.
