Truly blown away by Nancy's work!

The result that Nancy got was not even in my idea of possible outcomes. Her diligent work procured a better outcome than I had even hoped for and you should absolutely hire her if you are on the fence.

Nancy got a felony and misdemeanor dismissed outright for me

The past four months have been the hardest period of my life. I found myself in jail facing a felony DV assault charge and a misdemeanor DV assault charge. In short, there was no real evidence that I did what was alleged, but nonetheless, these kinds of charges are typically really hard to beat, espe...cially in Colorado. Nancy came to the jail that weekend, on a Sunday, to represent me and to get me out. I remember very vividly upon first seeing her face in jail that I felt like I was safe and in good hands. She said to me at that moment, something to the effect of: "This is going to be a turning point in your life, and you're going to look back later and be grateful for this experience." At the time, I couldn't even imagine how that could be true, but she gave me hope. Over the subsequent months, Nancy steadfastly led me through the legal process, always on hand at any hour to answer questions or offer me reassurances. We won our first case together, a civil protection order hearing, which if it had stuck would have been on my record permanently. After multiple court dates and a lot of work back and forth together on my defense, Nancy just got the felony assault charge and the misdemeanor assault charge dismissed altogether for me, which I've heard is exceedingly rare. Nancy has given me a second lease on life, and she was right that first time I saw her in jail, this has been an incredible turning point and I am truly grateful for this experience because I've come out on the other side of it in a much better place in my life. I intend to make sure I am never in a position to need Nancy's services again. But if you find yourself in a time of great need, reach out to her, she'll have your back throughout!

Pleasure to work with, excellent results

Nancy was prompt and attentive immediately upon first contact. She negotiated a very successful outcome in a serious case. She is straight forward with expectations, payment and results, which is refreshing. Nancy was a pleasure to work with during a very stressful situation.

Nancy is the best

Nancy is the only Attorney I would ever call if needed again. She worked on my case for over 6 months until it was dismissed. I never once worried about the outcome because she was in my corner. The communication was absolutely amazing. When I had a question, she was always responsive same day. I wan...ted the best, I feel I found the absolute best with Nancy Kardon.

Excellent consult

Nancy Kardon is a clear, concise and direct atty that explained options to move effectively and efficiently through the Boulder County court system. With some experience in communicating with attorneys (brother and nephew), I have experienced a remarkably professional defense attorney in Nancy. Her p...roductive relationships within the legal system provided invaluable insight. i would recommend her consult without hesitation. Thank you.

"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."
