Highly recommend

Kip's ability and professionalism went beyond my expectations. His knowledge of the local judicial system was invaluable and aided in getting the best results possible. In a world where customer service is almost non-existent Kip was always available and responded quickly. Kip is an exceptional a...ttorney and I highly recommend.

A Great Start

I contacted Kip to represent me for a domestic violence charge. Colorado law requires mandatory arrest(s) be made if there is a 911 call related to domestic violence. That arrest happened to be me even though I was the one that walked into the police station to fill out a report. Ironically I was ne...ver allowed to complete my report before taken into custody. There was never intent to file charges from either parties involved but Colorado law rarely dismisses a case once there is an arrest. I thought about representing myself but these are serious charges and I wanted the best to represent me. I found Kip online and his great reviews convinced me to pick up the phone and call. I'm glad I did. Kip was great. He was very professional and helpful. He explained things to me and worked hard on my case. He negotiated a very generous plea agreement but I have a hard time agreeing to something that in my opinion is untrue and unfair. I rejected the plea agreement and wanted to exercise my right to a fair trial. KIP is amazing at what he does and was honest about his litigation Comfort level. He understood and respected my position and suggested I hire an attorney that specializes in trial litigation. He did a great job for me and I felt that he truly cared and put in the extra effort. Thank you Kip

Unbelievable

From my first contact with Kip; he was totally professional. He went above and beyond expectations. Always upfront with his advice and opinion in regards to my case. Constantly updating me with information, quick to answer any phone calls and or emails. I would recommend him to anyone that needs repr...esentation. Has an unbelievable relationship with the DA's in Glenwood Springs. Kip you saved me... thanks again.

FANTASTIC attorney

You absolutely cannot go wrong hiring Kip O’Connor as your attorney and is easily the best attorney I’ve ever dealt with. His kindness, honesty, attention to detail, legal acumen, and respect he engenders from the D.A. and local judicial system is priceless. His prices were exceedingly fair and upfro...nt. Throughout the case Kip was always available by phone or email and promptly responded. During the hearing Kip was well prepared, presented my case wonderfully, and was able to get an outstanding plea bargain. I cannot recommend Kip highly enough-my family will forever be deeply indebted to him and his assistance.
