Our experience

Working with Care and Jake has been awesome, or as awesome as working on a lawsuit can be. Care "gets it," is thorough, responsive, and she inspires confidence. And we really liked her personally. We were recently sued for damages far in excess of what our insurance offered. We ended up with all... of our out of pocket expenses dropped, which for us was the absolute best outcome.

Care is a GREAT & CARING Attorney!

I would 100% recommend Care (and her team) to anyone in need of legal representation that is going through a divorce. It goes without saying, but this was a very difficult time in my life, and Care and Jake made the process as quick, transparent, and compassionate as possible. I would have very much ...regretted going with a different attorney had I not been fortunate enough to find Care, as she provided me with the exact type of legal representation I needed and took my feedback/feelings into consideration throughout the entire process. Care and Jake are so kind, thoughtful, and professional, and I feel so fortunate to have found her to guide me through this trying time in my life. Thank you Care & Jake!

Best Lawyer in Colorado!

I've never been involved in the criminal justice system before. For me, to this day, one of the most scarest times of my life. My livelihood, my reputation, my self-esteem were all in jeopardy. Care has had many years of experience and her familiarity with legal professionals, such as Judges and DAs... were greatly beneficial to my case. The compassion Care has for her clients is one of a kind, I was given peace of mind I never thought I could have. Care also encouraged me to be my best self and also provided great advice for my future. Care is not only a miracle worker but a honest, thoughtful, empathetic human being who just happens to be a fantasic lawyer. We did it! :)

Amazing Lawyer and Human Being...

Divorces are certainly not high point of the life, and it is easy to not see forest from the trees, spending excessive time caught in details of how to unravel relation that (obviously) doesn't have a future. Some attorneys may completely focus you on those legal details at the expense of big picture... (and a lot of legal cost, that could easily exceed value of assets/conditions in question). Not Care - she cares about you not only as a client and source of income, but as human being. She helped me not just by addressing legal side of the case, but also addressing it in a way that helped me orient myself on future. All of that while still addressing legal side of the case in very professional and knowledgable manner. Noone says about attorney "I would love to work with her again" as you don't want to be in situation that you need one. But if you happen to in such situation, I would highly recommend Care.

Relief

I got myself in to some troublea few months back. I almost caught a charge that would have cost me my job and would have made my life a living hell. I didn't know what to do but knew I need a lawyer. I googled how to pick a lawyer. The advice that made the most sense came down to two options. Find so...mebody who has experience in the court you will be going to, or sit in on some court sessions to fin a lawyer that is kicking some butt. I didn't have the luxury of sitting in court and most reviews of local lawyers were less than great. At the time Care had only good reviews and was also a judge in the court I was going to for 8 years. Anyway, my experience was good. It wasn't perfect but I would use Care again. On a personal level I think Care is a good person and did an amazing job for me. I honestly think if I hired anyone else my outcome would have been much different. I was so close to getting in big trouble. The negative is the paralegal that works with Care misinformed me on some very important information that could have gotten me into a lot of trouble. She also shredded the initial notes by mistake that Care had taken and then charged me her hourly rate to retake the notes so I wasn't to happy about that. None the less in my opinion if you were on the fence about which lawyer to hire I would take a leap of faith and give Care a shot.
