Eviction Win!

What an absolute pleasure it was to have found these folks. They were so helpful, prompt, knowledgeable and made the process of our eviction less painful and financially devastating than it already was. We were reassured weekly, sometimes daily on the status of our case and I was always able to speak... to one of the 4 lawyers that were assigned to our case when I called. Hiring them was the best decision we could have made rather than trying to handle it ourselves. The process was expedited and we felt like we had the best team on our side. I would highly recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat if we ever needed to again.

Residential lease and roommate agreement

I was put into contact with Matthew Athey in regards to needing a lease agreement so I could feel comfortable moving someone into my house to rent a spare bedroom. Matthew was quick, attentive, and timely in his work. He provided me with a lease agreement in which I was able to revise in my own best ...interest as well as review with him to ensure that everything was legal and binding before having to present to the tenant for a signature. 10/10 would use again as well as recommend his services.

Dr. Carol Hawkins

I contacted JPL Law Firm in Colorado when I was having a dispute with a contractor. During our initial consultation, Matthew was very empathetic to my case and offered helpful guidance that prompted me to hire him. During the our consultations, Matt showed extreme patience and proved to be a very g...ood listener as well as quite knowledgeable in construction law. He negotiated the desired outcome I sought for my case, and his assistant, Trish O'Flaherty, Senior Paralegal, and all of the staff at JPL were most helpful. We were able to settle in good time because of the responsiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency of Matt and his team. I felt protected and well represented. I highly recommend this law firm and particularly Matthew Athey and Trish O'Flaherty.

knowledgeable and friendly lawyer

I was very upset about a deposit not returned by a company. I knew they were wrong but not sure what laws they had broken to take them to court. Matthew was very comforting. He explained the process and law very clearly and wrote everything out for me. He gave me confidence and courage to take it to ...court on my own with just a consult. I have since then had my case heard in front of a judge and did come up on top. I am very thankful for his expertise. -Virginia

Oil and gas lease

I have used Matt a few times, he is always knowledgeable and gives you all your different options. In this case Matt Athey helped me negotiate a higher percentage on my oil and gas lease! If I ever need another attorney I will be reaching out to Matt 1st!

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
