Carolyn M. Kelly

Carolyn took my case on with very little notice and preparation time. She worked tirelessly into the evening and came in early in order to be prepared. She was able to see through trickery the other side was playing, she was able to see exactly pertinent facts that needed to be exposed, and cut thro...ugh all minor pettiness. I was awarded more than I ever expected based on a previous attorney's opinion. Carolyn was far superior to opposing counsel. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. In addition, she was considerate of my feelings through a very difficult and heartbreaking time.

I just finished arbitration for a fee dispute. It is unbelievable the stuff she came up with in order NOT to refund money she owed me as she did not complete both cases she was hired for. Any benefit gained from this attorney's legal knowledge is lost with the disorganization and lack of financial in...tegrity. Just so you know, she is an aggressive attorney, but be careful as that aggressiveness can be turned back on you. Worst experience I've ever had.

I interviewed several attorneys and even though Carolyn doesn't claim to be a "Criminal Defense Attorney" she is the one who showed the most confidence so I hired Ms. Kelly to represent me in two misdemeanor criminal cases. I paid her retainer and more as the cases progressed. My money was very well ...spent. She was relentless in my defense which ultimately led to both cases being dismissed. Opposing attorneys and the District Attorney especially may not like Ms. Kelly because she knows how to take them to task. I witnessed her interaction with several attorneys in the course of my defense all of whom were happy to consult with her and help me. I would hire her again and recommend her highly.

Ever since my divorce, I've had many challenges with my ex. Ms. Kelly was recommended to me by a paralegal who said she was the best attorney but not the most expensive one. Ms. Kelly has helped me navigate the laws, hearings and bureaucracy. From filing, through motions and mediation to agreements ...and orders - the results have been, without fail, exactly what I expected and very fair to both parties. She has practiced in Colorado Springs for a long time, is very knowledgeable, has a great understanding of judge's expectations and is highly effective. There are many cheaper lawyers and only a few more expensive ones. For my experience, Ms. Kelly's services are invaluable.

Makes promises at first meeting that she fails to keep at the end. Late for meetings, cancels meeting last minute even though you made time away from your job to meet with her. She does this often. Waits last minute too close to final court date to prepare final issues. Worst part...has me come t...wo months later after final court appearance, because I hadn't signed final papers, when I thought all was complete because I assumed she was a competent lawyer. I paid her a flat fee. She does as little as possible if you pay a flat fee; and I personally know other of her clients who paid her on a retainer and she milks them all she can. So beware...you get what you pay for. She offers flat fees based on your financial situation/hardship.
