Highly recommend reaching out to her

I wasn’t fortunate enough to hire Nancy due to logistical reasons, but during our consultations, she proved to be an exceptionally compassionate attorney with a deep understanding of the federal system. Her background as a federal prosecutor is impressive, but what really stood out was her ability to... break things down in a way no other attorney I spoke to could. She gave me insights that were incredibly valuable and explained the process with a level of clarity that’s rare in this field. If I ever needed a defense attorney in Colorado or the Los Angeles area, Nancy would be at the top of my list.

Exceptional Results

Hiring Nancy was the best decision I made when dealing with my charges. Nancy was able to obtain a full dismissal of my case within a couple of months of my charges being brought. She has a great reputation with the prosecutors office and the courts. The prosecutors and judges listen when she te...lls them you were wrongfully charged. Her ability to unravel a complex situation was key in my defense and I’m still amazed and grateful at how quickly she resolved things.

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).

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.

"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."
