She is good and responsive

Nancy is good at what she does and responsive: first time I phoned to ask for a consultation, she answered her own phone! Awesome. I had tried to make appointments with several lawyers before I found her: I found them to be unavailable, obtuse, or unresponsive and was left feeling alone and dejected.... Then I phoned Nancy. She was knowledgeable, caring, and clear in her communications. I got the answers to my questions and hung up with solid information, a plan, feeling confident, and feeling like someone ( Nancy) had my back. Worth every penny. *This is my second attempt at reviewing Nancy since AVVO deleted my first review for too much detail. I hope this one goes through.

She knows what she does and managed our case to get the best possible outcome

I hired Nancy for my child abuse case that I faced due to leaving my children in the car for a while without any bad intention and knowledge of the law. Before hiring her, I talked to several attorneys due to the high stress and risk of the charge I faced; she was the one who felt me the highest leve...l of trust and motivation to defend my case. She told me right away that she would be 24/7 available for me to have a phone call etc, and in several occasions, she has proven this. I do not think there is need for a specific word to tell about her experience as she is top-experienced as a seasoned attorney with many years after several years of experience as a federal prosecutor. So, she knows the justice system and can see the cases from both perspectives. I felt this phenomenon many times during my appearances with her at the Court. At the end of everything, she managed to get my case dismissed. It has been the most stressful period of my life despite being a very good learning opportunity, too. Nancy was with me throughout. All in all, I am glad and feel lucky to have found her and would work with her again (Though I hope I would never have to do so for any legal reason).

Nancy was able to get my case dropped with persistence!

One day I found myself in an abusive relationship after my partner assaulted me and refused to pay me back for our rent and their car (both of which I was paying for after we moved from CA to CO). After deliberating all day with my parents, I decided to call the cops for protection after my ex-partne...r refused to amicably leave the lease. Unfortunately, the cops identified me as the abuser and arrested me after my ex-partner claimed their actions were done in self defense. Scared and confused, I asked my parents to find me an attorney for my defense. I'm glad they found Nancy! Nancy did well to establish contact with me while I was in jail before my PR bond hearing. After I was released on PR bond, Nancy did well to inform me of my circumstance and answer my questions of which I had plenty. I was also dealing with my emotional trauma from this case and was quite manic with asking questions, so Nancy asked me to collect my questions together and answer them in bulk instead of answering them in piecemeal. Nancy handled all the paperwork and correspondence with the court and the DA. Nancy asked me to put together documentation outlining the backgrounds of myself and my ex-partner as well as descriptions for the altercations throughout our relationship which I built up and provided. From there, Nancy identified mitigation as the best course of action for my case, so I reached out to friends and family for character witness statements. We went for continuation in court as we built up this defense. Nancy then corresponded with the DA and we received a plea bargain with a reduced charge. However, I was not satisfied with that outcome, so Nancy did well to seek more time with the DA and show how my ex-partner is abusing the system. Luckily, Nancy was able to convince the DA to drop the case altogether! All in all, this process occupied 3 months of my life. Now I'm able to continue living my life without any public marks on my record. Thank you, Nancy!

US DEA Case

Where can I start.. About a year ago my family and I went through a rough patch. We had the DEA stormed through our house taking my entire family to jail and permanently traumatizing our children. I was being wrongfully charged with 7 felony counts, and looking about 13+ years in prison. The DEA se...ized property, money in our house, leaving us with almost nothing to get through. While being detained in jail and my family actively searching for a private attorney, Nancy reached out to me through the system. She was not only willing to help me, but do it as my public defender. Once I was release through bond, Nancy and I immediately started working together. Through the ongoing battle Nancy helped me go through the DEA process by keeping me safe. Although the DEA and the prosecutor at the time were to blind to see the facts, Nancy never gave up and continued to push the truth of my case. Thanks to my lord and Nancy’s Background and persistence, she was able to get 50 percent off my original charge, reduced my charges to 1 count with the opportunity to obtain only $100 restitution. Even though my life path is still very real, I can’t explain how grateful I am with Nancy. She believed me from the start, and never gave up through what seemed the impossible. I’m so grateful that my lord put Nancy in my path, giving me and my family the opportunity to be together. Sincerely The Lopez Family.

Amazing, absolutely perfect!

Look no further! Nancy is the best of the best. She helped me through every step of the situation I was in. I was serving a long community corrections case and she got me early termination very early with such ease! She answered every single call/text/email almost immediately. I couldn't ask for a be...tter lawyer.

"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."
