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.

Always hire the best

When I was arrested and accused of a serious charge (Felony Stalking/Domestic Violence), I had to start defending myself completely from scratch. I knew I was completely innocent, but as soon as you find yourself saying those words, you find yourself asking "how will I ever prove that with everythin...g that is stacked against me?" My fiance and I sat down, and compiled the required qualities and traits we would need in a person who would be our defense counsel - and who we would need in order to be completely victorious. After a very thorough search and after talking with many candidates - Nancy Kardon came out on top. Because of that one decision, we did emerge on top ourselves with an overwhelming victory. The fact that Nancy is a former Federal Prosecutor really carried weight with us because of her expertise and experience beyond just the state level. This background proved vital as she was able to communicate with the prosecution and convey critical elements of our case to them - which resulted in the charges being dismissed without ever seeing trial. Nancy was proactive, accessible, engaged, concise and clear - and most importantly of all was clearly fighting on our side and believed in us. She was a little more than some of the other attorneys (and not as expensive as they ultimately could have been), but if your hire the best you rarely find yourself disappointed. Thank you Nancy - our full recommendations and then some.

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.

Highly Recommended

I highly recommend Nancy Kardon for those accused of any domestic violence matter. I felt supported throughout every meeting I had with Nancy. Her experience as a prosecutor was invaluable in this case. She kept me informed of the choices I had. She was unyielding in her interactions with the prosecu...tor, arguing that given the facts of the case, the only possible outcome was dismissal or go to trial. Hiring Nancy was one of the most important decisions in my life, and she saved my reputation and professional life by winning the dismissal of the case, on the basis that it was very unlikely for the prosecution to win at trial.

"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."

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."
