Best decision ever made

Last Spring, I walked out of Boulder County Jail absolutely speechless, depressed I felt like my whole life changed and all my dreams about my life started to fade. Walking out jail with nothing but the clothes on my back was truly the rock bottom of my life. I haven’t had a speeding ticket in my en...tire life and all of a sudden now I am accused of a felony and several misdemeanors. So my neighbors thought we are fighting and reported me for a domestic violence, Even after my girlfriend tried to make them understand what exactly happened the police still arrested me. We both were shocked and absolutely speechless we had no idea what’s happening. To make it even worse I was blocked by a no-contact order from any communication with my girlfriend. I initially got an attorney hired by my girlfriend who might have some knowledge but is clearly lacking experience all she keeps saying is to plea for a mistake I never made. Meanwhile, My girlfriend searched for every possible option out there to make things better after couple letters to district attorney we were finally allowed to talk only in public places. When we were finally able to meet and talk to each other we both had the same thought in mind we are not going to accept for a crime we never commit and we will fight it together. When I parted with the previous attorney, I interviewed several highly recommended lawyers before choosing to hire Nancy Kardon. I took this decision not just because she is extremely experienced, thorough and knowledgeable about the law but also the fact that she is a kind and compassionate human. The first day when I met Nancy Kardon in person I stopped worrying about my case. That was a huge relief for both of us. She explained the various possible outcomes and how we could improve the likelihood of the best possible result. I have to admit that I am a very needy client but Nancy was in regular contact with me and kept me informed about the process, be it by phone, email or text. She has been just like a friend when you need one. Within no time she came up with the best solution, complete dismissal altogether (we were strongly told by our first attorney that I had no other choice but to plea). She fought tirelessly to get this result, without a doubt I can say its only due to her experience and expertise in handling these exact types of case. God forbid If you find yourself in a situation where you need an attorney for a DV charged, I'd recommend Nancy Kardon without hesitation and then hold on to her because it's going to get better.

excellent

Nancy is outstanding , She takes her phone calls and returns them quickly if she is unavailable. She takes the time to explain things and answer any of your questions. That has not been my experience with all attorneys. She was hired to defend my son who was facing a mandatory 30 years to life for ...his drug and gun charges. At sentencing he received 4 years , which still my be reduced by another year, due to a special drug addition program that he was put into. Nancy' s demeanor in the courtroom was excellent, and I believe that is well respected by judges, which can certainly sway there mental process in decision making. My son took many career and self help courses during his time in prison , at the suggestion of Nancy. I believe that this was also a major factor in the sentece that he was given.

Caring and professional

Nancy was referred to us by a fellow attorney and while we ultimately didn't require her servies she provided invaluable assistance to us in the early stages of the legal process. She listened well, was matter of fact and efficient while still conveying a sense of caring about us as individuals goin...g through a very confusing process. Our family is so grateful for her help -

Strong, comforting, hard working, and very intelligent

It began when I called Nancy just to share a story and ask a few questions. She spent a solid hour on the phone with me helping me to recognize a situation that I had found myself in. After already spending such time with me, she then offered her services to be hired, and was very enthusiastic that s...he was the best person for the job. It turned out she was exactly that. After going through one heck of a life shattering experience, Nancy was able to get the case dismissed 2 months before trial. We spent a total of about 9 months working on it when she called with such incredible news. On a regular basis, she was contacting me with more information, sharing the changes, asking more questions, and truly teaching me about everything along the way. I was completely oblivious to anything in this realm, courtroom, law, and legal lingo. She has a welcoming and comforting aura about her. She never dropped the ball, and it ultimately kept me sane, and got the case closed. Couldn't be happier with her support and work. I wouldn't hesitate to call her for anything you might need. She's great, and I can move on with my life because of her.

Trust worthy

Nancy provided a whole hearted and logical advice to me during my consultation. She cared about helping me and gave good advice based on my circumstances. I fortunately did not end up needing an attorney because the charges were dropped but I would definitely recommend her and her services.

"Ms Kardon was kind enough to take the time to direct me to the right places in CO to get documents needed to proceed with a case here. She saved me from wasting hours of time which I need to successfully prosecute a case here in NC. Thank you so much and am glad to know I now have a kind and competent lawyer practicing in both CA and CO to refer clients to."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Nancy Kardon has an extraordinary ability to quickly and intelligently determine what a criminal case is all about. When Nancy and I opposed each other when she was a prosecutor in the United States Attorney’s Office, Nancy was different from other prosecutors in that she was able to set aside her ego and listen carefully to the defense presentation. While Nancy is an outstanding trial attorney, she was also willing to dismiss charges or recommend leniency when the facts and circumstances of the case supported that position. Nancy’s listening ability corresponds to her ability to speak and get others to listen to her. It is an art form that I have rarely if ever seen in other lawyers. She is aggressive and compassionate at the same time. I am thankful Nancy is now my law partner"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Nancy Kardon is as good as it gets in the criminal defense arena. I practice family law and have referred a number of my clients to Ms. Kardon who has provided excellent service. Ms. Kardon has a high rate of success of either substanitally reducing criminal charges before they are filed or preventing the filing of any criminal charges at all. She is very experienced having worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office for a number of years. I would highly recommend her services. Laura Westray, Esq."
