Cant say enough good

I was facing a DV case as well as a Divorce. While searching on avvo she responded to my questions. Knowing she had already answered many questions she still agreed to do a phone consult. After a lengthy conversation her last comment made me know she was the one, "even if you dont go with me, Please ...let me know how it all turns out so I dont have to worry" DONE. It wasnt said to make me think she cared, It was said because she did and she showed that time and time again as we progressed. When she went to court its like someone flipped a light switch in her, you could tell it was game time. She knew what was going to be asked and already had the answer before the question was finished. My wife had kept our child from me on several occasions for months on end, She was able to put a stop to that QUICK. After temporary orders and the DV case was dismissed is when I saw her true self. she called me after hours and we had a long discussion about moving forward. Knowing about the case and my financial situation she told me that she felt I could handle the rest on my own and while she could stay on, her staying on would be more harmful to me because of the cost involved then the gains of having her on. This threw me off. A lawyer was turning down easy money because she was looking out for my best interest. Instead of an easy paycheck she once again showed that she cares about whats best for her clients. But she didnt just drop me and walk away, she sent me articles about moving forward so I wasnt just in the dark. I would recommend Caryn to anyone. I will always be in debt to her for everything shes done including getting my son back into my life.

Great communicator

She represented my interests in a divorce case. She is an excellent communicator, advises me on every step of the way and stay on top of the process. I didn't experience any letdown and would recommend her to look after your interests.

An A+ Super Lawyer!

Attorney Adams was an extremely articulate and expert in Colorado Statutes. No attorney can guarantee your victory only the good ones will not try to fool you! Ms Adams was a to the point professional. Her analysis and potential red flags were right on. We were able to circumnavigate them. I hope I ...never have to use an Attorney again. If I do Gasper and Caryn really care about her clients. nothing but total transparency. If my freedom were at stake, Ms. Adams is the ONLY Attorney I would trust!

A True Help in a Time of Need

Caryn Adams is a life saver! I was recommended to Caryn by a family member when I was in the middle of being prosecuted for DWAI even though my BAC was below the 0.05 limit and no accidents or property damage were involved. My previous attorney was not experienced with criminal defense or DWAI and ...was exceptionally adversarial with the DAs office which made my case go from concerning to bad to ugly quick. When I first spoke with Caryn I finally had hope again when I thought all was lost. She was very knowledgeable of the law and could see the errors made by all sides involved in my case and went to work immediately to bring remedy to the situation. She kept me informed of everything going on in my case and made sure I knew steps I needed to take to help myself outside of all the hard work she was already doing. Not only was Caryn an amazing help but everyone at the Gasper Law Group that assisted with my case was remarkably kind, polite and helpful. I definitely recommend anyone facing a criminal DUI or DWAI case in Colorado Springs or El Paso County seek her assistance. She helped me get my life back and I cannot thank her enough!

Attorney Professional

It is a huge undertaking whenever you become a defendant in a criminal case. I am pleased to have found attorney Caryn Adams of the Gasper Law Group to assist me in my defense. Ms. Adams exceeded my expectations on my behalf. She clearly articulated the complicated processes involved and placed a ...heavy emphasis on ensuring I understood the steps required. Her extreme professionalism and abundant subject matter expertise gave me confidence that I was well represented. The Gasper Law Group worked out a payment plan to help lessen the up-front cost burden. I hope to never require their assistance again, but if you find yourself needing great representation, contact Caryn Adams of the Gasper Law Group to handle your case.
