My highest recommendation

Brad Laybourne worked tirelessly on my case for almost 3 years. This being my first time needing a lawyer, I started by researching where he went to school. Brad was educated at Stanford University and the University of California. He comes from a long line of lawyers in his family and he has been in... practice in our area since 2004 with wonderful reviews. I am proud Brad represented me not just because of his intelligence and talent as a lawyer, but also as a person of integrity and compassion. He was tough when he fought for my truth, and kind when he saw my suffering. Brad kept me informed and discussed his thoughts with me every step of the way. He respected my thoughts and made me feel part of the team. My case was settled out of court and the result reached above both of our expectations. Brad has my gratitude and highest recommendation.

Thanks for the reassurance

Our son was recently named in an unfounded, false and potentially defamatory accusation. We consulted Mr. Laybourne to see what options may be available to us in the event this false accusation is filed. Brad not only talked to my husband a couple of times on the phone, but was also willing to meet ...with us in person so I could receive some clarification and understand the situation better. He spent quite a bit of time with us and at no point did I feel rushed through or patronized. I'm sure he hears about these situations every day. Brad was highly professional, patient, yet personable and we could tell he understood by asking pertinent questions while we repeated our concerns over and over. I'm confident that, if needed, we will retain Brad to represent our son as he thoroughly understands our frustration and the impact this could have on his future and reputation. For a family that has never had to have an legal consult, it is reassuring to know there are people out there that listen, believe and care who you are. Thank you, Brad!

Excellent

I was rearended while at a stop light, and my daughter was in the car, too. We were both pretty seriously injured. My daughter and I were both mentally stressed, as we had never been in a car accident before, let alone a catastrophic one. My lawyer told me up front and honestly that they probably cou...ld not get me enough money to make us whole again, but darn it if they didn't come close. Of course, it would not be worth any amount of money to put myself and my daughter in that kind of harm. Thank you so much for your caring, support and professionalism.

Posted by Kate | August 10, 2014 | Domestic Violence

Understanding, Professional and Knowledgable

When I was slapped with an unfounded charge of domestic violence harassment over an incident with an ex-boyfriend and the Manitou Springs Police Department I was angry, scared, and confused. Brad took my case and informed me of all the ways it could play out while assuring me of his competence in thi...s specific area of law. He let me know straight away about all of the tools we had at our disposal to prove my story and come to a reasonable outcome in the situation. He treated me as someone capable of understanding the process instead of simplifying things to an elementary level of, "don't worry about it". Ultimately, my case was dropped at my first court appearance. I am not sure if this is because the "victim" did not show up, the DA didn't have any evidence, or it was something Brad himself had fought for in his conversation with them. Regardless, not only did he stick around through the entire process but he also refunded my father the full amount paid and advised me on the steps I can take in the coming months to have this accusation sealed from my public record. He is friendly, personable, professional and clearly has a a tight grip on his profession and knowledge of the law. I will definitely hire him again when it is time to seal this from my record, as well as for any other legal proceedings in my future.

Excellent Attorney

I agree with what the other reviewer said about how he looks young. But don't let this fool you. Mr. Laybourne shows a quiet confidence that leaves him totally in control in the courtroom. He was always prepared and always brilliant. Best of all, he kept me prepared throughout the process. I was plea...sed with my settlement and pleased with the way Mr. Laybourne cared deeply about me and my case.
