Saint Kardon

Long story short, My fiancé and I got into a verbal argument. I got locked out of the home, I kicked the door in, which coincidentally hit my fiancé in the head. Total accident, but in the state of CO’s eyes a very black, and white matter. I was arrested and charged with domestic violence, harassmen...t, criminal mischief, and 3rd degree assault. I spent the next 14 hours in a county jail cell wondering if I was going to have a fiancé to come home to, and a job to go back to. Not a good feeling. Especially since it was an honest mistake. That terrible feeling was extrapolated when I was contacted that afternoon by the public defender. I was told he would represent me. He spoke with me on the phone, and he described how things were going to go. He mention some details of the case that didn’t add up. He was reading the wrong case!! This inattention to detail was the scariest part. Moments later Nancy walked into the jail and introduced herself. My guardian angel had arrived. Without me knowing my fiancé and family had contacted her office at approximately 9:30 AM, five hours later she was in the jail reassuring me in person that everything was going to be OK. Oh yeah.. and this all happened on her birthday! I posted bail and was released. Unfortunately a no contact order was placed so I wasn’t able to speak with the person I was sent to marry a week later. This on top of the possibility of losing my job was giving me the worst anxiety I’ve ever experienced. Nancy got the no contact order removed right away. She instructed me to focus on my work, and that she would take care of everything. The way she carried herself was reassuring, but the unknown was more stressful than I can describe. The next two days at work I was an anxious mess, and the clock seemed to stand still. That Friday Nancy called, and told me that all charges had been dropped and the case was dismissed! Nancy spoke with the DA and the next thing I knew I received a letter stating the DA had filed for dismal on the grounds “they had no reasonable likelihood of success at trial” aka they knew Nancy would absolute annihilate their case if brought to trial. My world was turned upside down on a Tuesday at 2 in the morning and righted by Nancy Kardon three days later on Friday afternoon! Do not underestimate the power of a good lawyer!!! My advise, hire Nancy, listen to everything she tells you and she’ll take care of the rest.

OUTSTANDING: something that rises above and excels others of the same kind

Attorney Nancy Kardon represented me in a wrongfully charged domestic violence case. I spoke with a dozen attorneys before hiring Nancy. From my first conversation with her, I knew she was different from the rest. After listening to my story, she pushed for dismissal and sealing of documents. She ...was successful with both. Attorney Kardon is authentic, smart, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. She is easy to work with and quick to return a call. She handled every step of the process with confidence, conviction and kept me well informed. I am personally grateful to Nancy for the outcome of the case and her respect and belief in me, which helped me through this unfortunate situation with my dignity intact.

Domestic Violence Accusation twice with the same accuser

I had the unfortunate circumstance of getting involved romantically with a sociopath. I meet a young lady who was beautiful and smart and we had that chemistry thing that people try to get in a relationship but the more time we spent together the more that we grew apart. Several months into the rela...tionship I came to the realization that we did not have a future together moving forward so I decided to end things with my then girlfriend. Following the break up my her my ex did not take is well to say the least. She proceeded to illegally trespass on my property. Steal and vandalize my property to "get back" at me and then had the audacity to call the police after an argument that we had over the destruction of my personal property. I was arrested and charged with 2nd degree assault/domestic violence based purely on the information that my ex-girlfriend erroneously informed the law enforcement that night. When I came into contact with Nancy Kardon I was in a tough spot. I had two separate charges with the same accuser. I was facing possible jail time combined with a domestic charge and a criminal record. Ms. Kardon took the time to review the facts of the case and determine that we could move forward and approach the DA with a resolution that would result in a full dismissal or deferred judgement. The end result for the case was minimal probation with a deferred judgement. I was completely satisfied with Ms. Kardons professionalism and availability throughout the process and recommend her service to any and all family and friends who have the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with criminal accusations. I do not wish this on anyone but it's refreshing to know that if something like does happen to someone that there are in fact people in place like Ms. Kardon that will have your back and fight for the best possible outcome of the case.

Domestic Violence

When I was facing a certain prison sentence for a DV case in which I was the victim and had provided video proof to Law Enforcement and numerous false and inaccurate reports made by both law enforcement and child services leaving me to face the possibility of losing my children and freedom as I was b...eing charged with a felony count. Nancy heard out my situation and first hand seen the injustice the legal system had burdened me with, and reckless abandonment of laws and procedures Jefferson County in the attempts the prosecution and other government agencies made to get a conviction, Nacncy kept her feet firmly planted ready to go all the way to prove my innocence. Nancy got my case dismissed in probably a record time. Nancy knew every variable the State prosecutors used and gave them no chance to sway case in their favor. If you want to go back to jail roll the dice with a public defender! If you want to go home, go the certain route and call Nancy.

Nancy was a real fighter in my case

Nancy represented me against charges of property destruction in a domestic violence-related case. The property damage was a cracked smart phone screen that was already cracked prior to this. My wife called 911 during an argument where she wanted to put my dog to sleep and I did not want to. The Sheri...ff's Department found that I had not committed any assault and charged me for the phone screen damage. Nancy supported my decision not to take a plea bargain and pushed through the preparations for a trial until the DA dropped the case. Thanks Nancy!

"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."
