Great attorney for traffic case

I had a hit and run case with very minor damage to a parked vehicle. I wasn't even aware of any damage, so drove away. Even with a clean driving record, I was in danger of losing my license, so thought it best to hire a lawyer. Monte was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. Following his advice resulted in a far better outcome than expected. I highly recommend him.

Colorado Ticket - Out of State

After receiving a ticket in Denver, Colorado which required that I return from out of state for a court date, I hired Mr. Monte Robbins to represent my case. Mr. Robbins was up front with his fees and very clear about the possibilities of reducing the charges, points and fees with his representation. He kept me informed via email during the process. I hired Mr. Robbins from an internet search which, of course, is always a chance you are taking. Luckily it was the right choice. He accomplished all that he had indicated in our conversation prior to my hiring him. I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, honesty and final result accomplished on my behalf.

Great Service

Monte understood my situation and the law regarding it. He worked with me while I was out of country. He delivered what he said. He has a great personality as well.

Case Deferred!!

Monte really went up to bat for me-- he even travelled to Fort Collins even though his office was in Denver-- I did pay a decent retainer for him but it was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY-- he went up to bat for me and even got my case deferred. Thank you Monte!! I tell any friends having legal issues about how great you are!!

Excellent Experience

I received a traffic violation and after speaking with multiple attorneys I decided to retain Monte's services. I couldn't have been happier with that decision (as well as the outcome). From the first phone call Monte was professional, thorough and told me exactly what to expect. Dealing with courts, tickets, etc. is always stressful, but after speaking with him I knew he was on top of things. Monte kept me up to date with everything that was happening with my case and after meeting with the prosecutor, he was able to get my case dismissed due to diligent legal work on his end. I was hoping to have points reduced, but a dismissal was a very unexpected, but welcome, outcome. I would not hesitate to hire Monte again or refer others. I can't recommend Monte Robbins enough.

Best decision I made.

I contacted Mr Robbins in hopes of gaining some help with a problem my son was having. After speaking with him and explaining the situation he informed me we very possibly could resolve the issue without representation. I was impressed by his honesty and knowledge and decided to retain his services. He was guided us through the entire process and was always available to answer any questions we had. . He was able to secure an outcome better than we had all hoped for. I hope to never need his type of services again but if the situation arises where I do I would not hesitate to call him.

Super efficient and awesome outcome!!!

I worked with Monte regarding a traffic ticket. 1. Everything was done entirely remotely! I never had to drive across the state to meet him. 2. This guy responded completely and promptly to all forms of communication. He is on top of your case, for sure. 3. Very clearly communicated what he needed and what the expected outcome would be, and then he delivered an even better result!

Monte is the real deal. Best Lawyer you can get.

Monte Robbins handled my first ever speeding ticket. I was so scared of hiring a lawyer for anything. I found Monte through Avvo and called him as soon as I could. He answered promptly, got straight down to business and gave me the best price. I retained him as my lawyer for my 6 point speeding ticket, he was prompt with any questions I had through email, text and phone calls. He even called me the day before to make sure I had all my questions answered. The day of the court date, he called me to let me know that he arrived early. He was very courteous to me when we met, let me know how the whole court process was going to work and got me a very great deal and I no longer have criminal charges pending against me. He was with me the entire process, sat and waited for me to pay court fees and walked outside the building with me. I was so impressed with Monte's professionalism and knowledge. If you are looking for a lawyer to handle your case, please hire Monte! He is the real deal!

A total lifesaver

I'm so glad I chose Monte to represent me in my case. I'm 100% certain I wouldn't have had such a good outcome without Monte's professionalism, support and advice. The time he took to work with me prior to court did much to alleviate my anxiety about the whole thing, and throughout the process (my first time in such an ordeal) Monte proactively made sure I knew what was going on. In person Monte is a very knowledgeable and soothing presence, I would recommend him to anyone.

Helpful and Honest

Monte was great. I contacted him regarding a letter I got in the mail stating that I needed to extend my ignition interlock contract for a year because of violations. He asked me to obtain my records from Smart Start which I sent to him. He reviewed them and gave me advice, without asking me to pay him a retainer. He was honest with ,e about what he could, and could not guarantee me should I decide to hire him. The DMV ended up dropping the case so I did not need his services in court. In all, he spent a couple of hours discussing my case with me, including 16 emails and 2 phone calls. Not once did he ask for money or push me to pay the retainer. His honesty as to the extent he could help me was a breath of fresh air. I have been through the courts for two DWAIs and have dealt with some lawyers who are pushy and all about the money. This is not one of them. I would not think twice to hire him should I need legal representation in the future.

Confident. On point. Affordable

I called Mr.Robbins from out of state, critically in need of a lawyer. I called several lawyers before speaking with Mr. Robbins. I hired him on the spot, he gave me an outline of what to expect, what he will do, and then made it happen in no more than 2 months time. Thank you Mr. Robbins

Great Attorney

I hired Monte, after being charged with a DUI, after meeting with him I felt confident he could help me in this matter. He was helpful, honest and communicative. I never had a problem reaching Monte. He was able to resolve my case without it ever having to go to trial and I had a very desirable outcome. This is the guy you want in your corner.

Great lawyer ! Highly recommended!

I had a traffic ticket with near 30 points. I consulted several lawyers. We decided to hire him after our initial consultation. Mr. Robbins is very diligent, knowledgeable, and reliable. He analyzed my case in great detail and came up a very good strategy to help me to reduce the points so that I can at least keep my driver license. He kept me well informed about the status of my case. In the end, the results were far better than I expected. Not only the points got reduced by more than 90%, but also there was no fine charged. I was so relieved from the case. I highly recommend Mr. Robin. He is a great lawyer.

What a Relief

We contacted Monte after my partner was arrested for making an illegal u-turn. Unbeknownst to her, she had failed to appear in court after an accident she had been in nearly a year prior. We met with Monte and we were so confident that he could help us that we hired him on the spot. After two separate court cases, Monte was able to get my partner 0 points on her license and only a minor fine. This outcome was better than we could have imagined. Having never had any experience with the justice system, we were confused and overwhelmed, but Monte walked us through the entire process and made it as painless as possible. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

2 severe separate speeding infractions.

I have used monte robbins TWICE for some legal trouble I was facing for speeding. I drive for a living so my license is very important. I called monte and explained to him my trouble and I needed some help. We sat down and went over everything, well monte managed to get my moving violation dropped and turned into a non moving violation so it didnt effect my license at all. My second time I used monte I was traveling through ault colorado following 2 cars around rush hour so it was busy came into town and ended up getting pulled over halfway through, the cop said i was doing 60 in a 45 which I strongly disagreed with. Anyway he wrote the ticket and let the other 2 cars go that I was following (when I saw the lights I looked down and was only doing 50 in a 45), I called monte told him what happened and he got the ticket reversed to a non moving violation so it wouldn't effect my license. I highly recommend Monte Robbins if you need legal help. He has been great to work with and has saved my job. Thanks again Monte!!

Knowledgeable, Efficient and Effective

Mr. Robbins helped us with a traffic violation. He explained what options were open to us in order for the DA to consider reducing the penalty. We followed his recommendations. He was able to get our penalty reduced from a 4-point citation to a zero point citation. Mr. Robbins was direct and provided clear communication. We were delighted with the process and, of course, the result.
