Boulders #1 Attorney

Care is a hard working lawyer that fights for her clients. She also provided me with comfort & emotional support when you need it the most. Her expertise and knowledge of the law and the court system was a big advantage during a divorce. If you want the best results possible then Care is your atto...rney. Thank you Care for all that you did for me.

Couldn’t do it without her!

I retained Care after being referred to her by a friend. Upon doing my own research, learning of her history as a judge - here in Boulder - and hearing her praises from my friend, I brought Care and her paralegal, Jake, onto my team. My divorce process originally began 3 years ago, in another state,... through various ups and downs, I found myself in Boulder County and in desperate need of representation. Care came into my case halfway through, and quickly familiarized herself with all of the details. Her prior experience as a judge and in her other cases helped her find things that had been overlooked in the past and mishandled. And she took on the task, full willingness, to get it done right this time. My case isn’t even over and I feel comfortable singing her praises. Do not let her small frame fool you, she is a force to be reckoned with. But more importantly, she has been my friend, she has been the one person there for me for every court date, since I hired her. She has been my family while my family lives away in another state and my mom has been too ill for them to travel. Care and Jake have been there for me in all the moments when I have felt alone, and that I cannot put a price on. Before hiring Care and Jake, I felt hopeless and helpless. I had been “fighting” for so long and stuck in survival mode, with no end in sight. Finally, I feel like I have taken a few breaths, and I feel hopeful again, with many more breaths to come. She’s made me feel like my voice is heard, and she truly CARES about my kids and my case. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Forever grateful for your voice giving my voice a platform to be heard!

I cannot even put into words how impressed, grateful and appreciative I am of Care and Jake at The Law Office of Care Enichen. I found myself in an unusual situation with the law. Never having any type of altercation with the justice system or law enforcement myself, I was at a loss, confused and wor...ried. I found Care on Google and was so impressed with her extensive experience and knowledge with Boulder County laws and court proceedings. Her knowledge stems from a prosecuting attorney to a judge for Boulder County and now as a criminal defense attorney. What I was not expecting, was to meet two people who are generally concerned for your well-being. In Care and Jake, I found not only two people so competent in navigating the justice system but also two people who only had the very best intentions on my part. They concluded my case quickly and efficiently within a very reasonable cost and I am so pleased with the result. Thank you Care and Jake! I am forever in your debt.

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.
