Free Great Advice from an excellent lawyer!!

I just want to take the time to write a review about Nancy Kardon. I had potential situation brewing in which I only recently became aware of, something that could have been really serious if I didn't have the right counsel to guide me. I called Nancy and she called me back promptly, gave me great ...advice and acted on my behalf free of charge. She retrieved the information I was looking for which was excellent news, gave me great follow up advice and also told me I could follow up with her for any questions I may have in the future. She put in leg work all for no cost even though I pressed that I should compensate her for this valuable advice, she was insistent that it was not necessary and "her pleasure". What a great lawyer and person to deal with, literally breath of fresh air and I can now breathe easier knowing how much she helped me in such a short amount of time. If I ever need (hopefully never) legal counsel or representation in the future, regardless of circumstance she will be my first call. If you are looking for an intelligent, assertive lawyer that is truly personable look no further than Nancy Kardon. Thx Nancy, you helped me more than you'll ever realize.

Nancy and Ed save lives

My family and I learned the hard way, you can't put your life in the hands of just any attorney and expect a proper defense. Having spent three years with a court appointed lawyer in a federal case that went from bad to worse, we did what we should have done in the firstplace and sought to choose ou...r own defense team. Nancy and Ed were godsends. Their work as former prosecutors, demonstrable knowledge in arguing law and their focus on a clientele with mental disabilities (considering I have autism, this is very important) made them an immediately indespensible vanguard for my best interests during serious criminal prosecution. Before we had even hired them they were keeping on top of my case and checking up on my frequently by phone. This was something that impressed me greatly as no other lawyer I had reached out to had done anywhere close to the same. They are caring and easy to talk to and I can tell that I am more than just a client through the mill, but a human being worth investing their time, expertise and even emotional currency on. This is profoundly touching and has made me feel safe. They were able to secure me the lowest possible sentence in a case my previous lawyer painted as grim and would end in an inescapably draconian manner. These two turned it all around from day one. I am proud to have them as my lawyers.

Defendant

Excellent investigative work, paired with a personal investment where I felt as if she was working directly for me. I appreciate her willingness to listen and understand my point of view on what happened opposed to what the police had on their statement. Ultimately Nancy's diligence allowed the case ...to move efficiently and in the end I had multiple charges dropped and a reduced sentence for a plea bargain. In total I spent the same on paying for her lawyer fees as I would've for the full sentence. Honestly, I think she saved me money.

Bull on Parade...

It was 730 at night when Ms. Kardon called me. I told her I was impressed. From that moment, to this letter I was in the presents of a true professional Criminal Defense Attorney. 37 minutes of court time, over an eight month course. That's all I saw. All charges dropped. It's a week later and th...e year is still very fresh, but the paper makes it true. I'm not a man of many words. “You can believe me when I say”... Professional. Knowledgeable. Reliable. “Tip of the spear and edge of the knife”. Result oriented, (I'm not kidding) is the Kardon Law Firm. This is a very, very big win for me, (very big). The first steps in restoring the dignity to my life has been achieved from one reason, allowing Ms. Kardon and her firm, complete control in handling my felony criminal defense. “Domestic Felony Criminal Defense”, I needed some protection and “rock solid help” from the brunt of the state while I handled other matters. ( and they come down hard) What's the smartest thing I did to help myself...? “Turn Nancy Karden loose on them” 37 minutes speaks for itself... I said two words to the court in 8 months, “not guilty”. The Kardon Law Firm made sure I was heard, and completely represented. With class and distinction of the law, (I couldn't have said it better). The boys in jail told me there is a 99% conviction rate for my type of charges. I'm here today as a “1% er'” for one reason, “Nancy Kardon and her firm did not let me down” I was impressed with the text at 7 in the morning, telling me my progress from Ms. Kardon. I was impressed with the phone call at 9 o'clock at night when I had a question answered from Ms. Kardon. I gave Ms. Kardon a pile of information and she whittled it down to a very fine point. Im sitting right here with this smile on my face basking in the glow of not guilty, (holding the papers that prove it). ”I am impressed”... It's been 8 months since my big wings have picked my feet from the ground, I'm a big alfa male, that has the right to walk away any time I deem necessary. To stand firm any time I feel threatened for it. The law can get very clouded some times. So, let me make it clear.... Ms. Kardon, From my family Melissa, Tony, and my grand kids From the the core of who I am and all I hold dear, thank you for my freedom. Really, “thank you”. Nothing, and I mean nothing is more important to me. Thank you for removing this weight. Thank you for all your unseen hard work. Thank you for your unrelenting pursuit to find the other side of this matter for me. Thank you for your world class, perfect representation throughout this whole legal onslaught. Thank you for speaking on my behalf. Thank you from my business and thank you for being real. Thank you for dealing with me. Your a great attorney, you and your firm are without doubt, the best criminal defense in Boulder County, Colorado...(“ If your reading this looking for representation and criminal defense, look no further. “there is no further”, (tip of the spear)... if it's you Nancy, coming back to read this in time. “nicely done”... The Kardon Law Firm is polite, professional and persistent, absolutely on que with the criminal defense legal system in Boulder County, and very very easy on the eyes. The courts can be a very scary place when your in big trouble. “who's kidding” The Kardon Law Firm makes/made the difficulty easy to handle. Taking me by the hand and escorting me to the front of the line, in a court room full of actions and motions, suits and “big wigs”... with absolutely positive results. “I'm free to fly” (trouble never saw her coming) And the courts only saw me for 37 minutes.... When your looking for representation, to me there is only two things you need... “tip of the spear” to make the point. “edge of the knife” to cut you loose The Kardon Law Firm provided both of these things for me. With out question...! Randy

I'm not religious, but thank God for Nancy!

I had no clue as to what to do in my situation and Nancy made it seem like a breeze! I am ever so grateful. Maybe some of it was luck but I really don't think I'd be in this position without her help.

"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"

"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."
