Fantastic representation! Quick to respond, kept me informed

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Colleen. Prior to hiring her, I left her a message on a Friday afternoon. Colleen responded within a couple of hours and spoke to me for at least 30 minutes about my case. I hired Colleen the following week without meeting her and had no regrets. My case was pretty s...traight forward as it was my first DUI. After reviewing all evidence Colleen met with me and presented my options. I took the easiest route of course. Everything went exactly as I had expected it would go based on the options that were presented to me. She made this as simple and as painless as possible. I would definitely hire Colleen again.

Excellent Experience!

This was my first time hiring a lawyer and my first DUI and Colleen explained the entire process of going to court very clearly and went above and beyond presenting on my behalf for meetings with the DMV. She put my mind at ease throughout the entire process and for that I am grateful!

DUI case

Unfortunately, I spent my early 20s continually in trouble with the law and so have had tons of experience with lawyers. After moving to Colorado to "get my life together" I got accepted to an engineering program only to get a DUI 4 months before I was suppose to leave for school. I was a little worr...ied I wouldn't be allowed to go now and upon hiring Mrs. Kelley she got the ball rolling quick. I've never had much faith in lawyers but Mrs. Kelley changed my attitude about that as she worked hard and diligently to get me to school and the end result couldn't have been better. Thank you so much.

Colleen Kelley was outstanding

When I first got arrested for DUI I thought I would just accept the punishment since I was guilty. I went to Ms. Kelley and she was much better than I had anticipated. The offer from court was originally for 2nd offense DUI with jail time and home detention. At the end of this I was convicted of fi...rst offense DWAI with no jail or home detention. I would highly recommend Ms. Kelley to anyone that has been arrested for DUI.
