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.

Outstanding

After being charged with felony menacing, I talked to several lawyers in Colorado Springs and was about to hire a firm when I found Gasper Law Group. I went and saw them and felt comfortable hiring them immediately. Caryn was assigned to my case. She discussed with me the best possible outcome, the w...orst possible outcome and what she thought would happen. She didn't try to make it seem like it was going to be sunshine and rainbows. She was very honest with me about how she thought things would turn out and laid out every option that I had. I picked the route I wanted to go and things went exactly the way she said they would. There was no beating around the bush. Caryn was very staight-foward and honest. I'm extremely happy with the outcome of my case. I'm almost certain if I had not hired her, things would be very different.

Cares only about money.

Caryn was "representing" my husband in a criminal defense case. After we hired her and paid the retainer, we realized that was the only thing she cared about. She was nearly impossible to get ahold of, failed to see that the police violated laws that made his arrest illegal and never even filed a sin...gle motion. She never gave my husband the opportunity to read his discovery, would not give me a copy even though she had consent to share all information related to the case with me and in 3 months only talked to him 3 times and each time it was for less than an hour and a half. My husband was facing life in prison and all she did was review cell phone records, call a few people that may have been able to testify as character witnesses and schedule a polygraph which isn't addmissable in court. She did absolutely nothing to help us but had no problem taking our money and said we owe over $7,000.00. She told us she couldn't do anything "further" to work out a reduction in time after only a month and a half.

Trustworthy

I was informed of everything I needed to do for my case and some suggestions on what plan of action I could take on some things. Kept me up to speed on things, took the time after every court apperance to explain what needed to be done before my next court date, answered any questions that I may hav...e had at that time, and made sure I was staying on track on what I needed to do.
