ZERO STARS

I would give this attorney ZERO stars, but that is impossible. I hired Mr. Baca to represent me in my criminal case. He claims his flat fee is warranted because he is to do the same about of work if the case goes to trial or if a plea is accepted. He advised me to plea. I should of seen that comi...ng. He spent about 10 mins in court with me. He must of spent 30 mins total on my case, and most of that was him notifying the court of his entry of appearance. He never contacted me about my case. I was in jail, and he never spoke with me. He did not review the discovery with me and he did not even formulate a defensive for me. He sure kept that flat fee he charged and he did nothing for me. Nothing. He has not taking a case to trail in over 6 years. . A public defender would serve you better. Save your money. He demonstrated limit knowledge of the law and even less knowledge of court room procedures.

Nathaniel is a good person

I spoke with Nathaniel about a felony DV that I had in Boulder. This isn't my first case and I have experience dealing with criminal defense attorneys. What impressed me about Nathaniel is he didn't give me the usual sales pitch. Instead, he listened to me and then explained the strengths and weak...nesses of my case. After we talked about the case, he did something that no attorney has ever done for me, he told me who I needed to hire to give me the best shot. He helped me instead of trying to sell himself. And he was right. The attorney that he sent me to got my case dismissed on the issue that Nathaniel told me about. I am really thankful for his honesty. No other attorney would have done what he did.

My case was dismissed

My ex-girlfriend accused me of cheating on her and then called the cops. She made up charges and they took me to jail. I won the case and got my life back. The cops treated me unfairly and I never should have been accused in the first place. I am truly greatful that I won my case and got to tell ...the jury the truth. Nathaniel picked my ex-girlfriend apart when she took the stand and I think that was the turning point for my case. I am very satisfied with his help and recommend him to others.

Great Attorney who got me Results

When I was charged with a crime in Denver, Nathaniel was dedicated to my case and did excellent work, getting me a deferred judgment. I was originally charged with assault and child abuse but the charges were lowered in large part because Nathaniel got to know me and let the prosecutor know who I re...ally was. I was very happy with the way Nathaniel handled my case and, seeing the results that other attorney's were getting for their clients in my courtroom, I feel like Nathaniel made a big difference for me.
