Amazing

I got charged with a DUI and some small traffic infractions, but thanks to Jennifer and her efforts, she got it down to a DWAI with minimum fines, community service, and probation. Jennifer worked up until the last second to secure this deal and worked with me one on one to help ease my stress and pr...epare me for everything that needed to be said and done. I felt that she was on my side the entire time, and she really did everything she could to help lighten the burden of going to court. All in all, Jennifer was incredibly helpful and I had faith the entire time that she had my back and was in control of the case.

Jennifer was hands down the best attorney I could have asked for. I was given minimal fines & the best possible deal; all thanks to Jennifer. Contact her for ANY of your needs!

Good negotiation

My son benefited from her knowledge and past experience in Weld County. From her previous experience on the other side with the DA and Judge it helped tremendously. She was able to reach a deal that was better than we ever expected.

Awesome Attorney!

My first and last DUI

My first DUI and last . I had a very high BAC . Jennifer helped me get minimum everything even waiving a court fee ! Not only that, but she was able to get me no jail time ! If you are looking for a lawyer that will work with you till the very end look no longer ! Jennifer is hands down the best lawy...er I have ever met and had the honor to work with . Not only did She listen to every detail but was very understanding. Jennifer took the time to get to know me and my family and was very compassionate. She also guided me through the entire process even after court going into probation .Jennifer answered every question I had at any time she always got back to me .Me and my family will forever be grateful for everything she has done for us .

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
