An Accolade for Amy Okubo

In all of my life, after the Viet Nam war and beyond, I have never hired an attorney for anything. But after an accident in 2014 that caused some damage to neighbors’ property, she stood by my side most capably before court and in court. She is a most honorable person who knows when and what to sa...y at the right time. I paid her requested retaining fee and was pleased to hear that I would get a refund after the trial. My case could not have gone better. Her costs were minimal and I received a nearly 65% refund. With all of the adverse stories one may hear about lawyers, they do not apply to this lady! I hope to never see the doors of a justice center again, but Amy gave me chances to sleep at night and rest peacefully. I certainly would recommend Amy for anyone needing a defense attorney.

Experience counts!

Amy is very experienced and this made her a great attorney to defend me in a pretty complicated traffic dispute where I was charged with Assault 3. She became very emotionally invested in getting me the most positive outcome. She helped me be patient with the drawn out timeline and the way Distric...t Attorneys do everything at the last moment, and I would have been distraught if I had not been prepared for a long drawn out process and the 11th hour decision making. She called in an expert who was very helpful and she used the information to my advantage.

Broomfield County Municipal Case

She responded quickly to my questions and provide me with all information with possible outcomes of my case. Without her assistance I would have never been offered the deal that I received. I owe it all to Amy. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything!

Very knowledgeable attorney that is willing to fight for the results your looking for

Amy is a good solid attorney that knows and understands both sides of the legal system. She is willing to listen to your side of the story and give you options for determining how you want to approach your case. I had two misdemeanor charges (Harassment, Menacing). She was able to get the Menacin...g charge dropped and to have my sentence deferred which was huge as I can have my record sealed after one year.
