Richard

I cannot say enough good things about Nancy Kardon. I was charged with 3 counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. There were 2 victims. I was looking at 20 years in prison. Due to Nancy’s skill, knowledge, expertise and hard work, she was able to secure a plea bargain... for 2 counts, each carrying 15 years on probation which was to run concurrently. This meant I would spend 15 years on probation, not 30. This kept me out of prison or jail. Nancy also ensured my probation was a determinant length of time. Therefore if I violated probation any jail sentence would also be determinant. I then violated the terms of my probation. My violations were technical, meaning I broke the rules of probation, but I did not reoffend or break any laws I had a consensual sexual relationship with an adult woman who had children the relationship was not approved by probation and was considered very serious by both my probation officer and the Douglas County District Attorney office. They thought the violations were so serious the DAs office assigned their chief attorney and asked for the maximum penalty, 12 years in state prison for each charge, to ru n consecutively, meaning I would serve 24 years. They offered no plea. Nancy shined again. Her diligence, skill , hard work and knowledge triumphed and I avoided any prison time. I was put back on probation Nancy Kardon was the key factor in formulating my defense and securing an immensely positive outcome from very serious and daunting challenges to my freedom.

Through the Storm with Nancy Kardon

It's been the most incredibly sustained emotional rollercoaster of epic proportions these past 8 months. Waking up these past few mornings without the shadow of doom hanging over me is an entirely new and welcomed experience. Our gratitude towards Nancy Kardon cannot be overstated; her expert gui...dance, profound wisdom, and consummate professionalism over these grueling months have been invaluable. Her advice was sound and wise, a voice of calm reassurance midst swirling doubt and fear. The defense she put together for me was fabulous as she highlighted key differentiators between our case and those cited by the prosecutor, clearly demonstrating why further deterrence wasn't necessary. Well done! My son even commented on how well she delivered the defense. She is awesome at her job! Have I mentioned how grateful we are?! After a surprise visit from a national law enforcement agency, I generically googled "Colorado Federal Defense Attorney" and saw Nancy's name/bio. Calling her is one of the best decisions I've ever made. This has been a monumental life changing experience . My family and I are eternally grateful to Nancy for guiding us through this substantially challenging storm!

Excellent Defense Attorney

Nancy got my misdemeanor disorderly conduct case dismissed without me ever having to enter a courtroom. She did not make any guarantees prior, but was able to execute on the strategy we discussed with the most ideal outcome.

Jason’s Testimonial

She’s the best Attorney I’ve ever had plain & simple! She’s gotten me out of a couple difficult situations & I don’t think I could’ve gotten a better deal with any other attorney but her. She’s extremely good & thorough at what she does & I respect her as well as her work & her work speaks for itsel...f. Through court proceedings everything was smooth & simple & I’m lucky I had her in my corner to represent me, otherwise I wouldn’t be in the free world right now. If I ever need future legal council for anything she will always be my first choice!

Successfully Reduced my Bail From 2M to 150K

Nancy is AMAZING! She was able to get my Bail lowered from 2M down to 150K after my previous lawyer said it could not be done. I strongly recommend Nancy when you want to get the Job DONE! She is Honest and her Professionalism Shines through when you need a lawyer the most. We will always be inde...bted to her for what she has Done for us. I was in Jail for 13 months because of my previous lawyers laziness to research my constitutional rights. Thank you again for who you are and how respectful you treat your clients.

"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."
