Best lawyer in the valley.

Best D.U.I attorney in the valley! After meeting with several lawyers about my case, Kip's professionalism and experience made me choose him. It was the best decision I made. My case was very difficult and every lawyer told me I had very little chance of winning, since there were several charges invo...lved. Kip listened to my story and had ideas on how to win my case. He was always straight to the point and never made promises he knew he couldn't keep. He always did his research and was very prepared when it came to the DMV hearing and court. He was able to drop my D.U.I charges and the judge let me off with Reckless driving and a few points off of my license only! He is very compassionate and cares about his clients. I would sincerely recommend him to anyone!!

GREAT JOB

I have had to work with lawyers before, but this was my first time needing a lawyer since I moved to Colorado. A friend of mine recommended Kip and suggested I give him a call. I was ready to go at it alone and just face the consequences of a DUI, but after talking with Kip I realized that I had a ...lot more options than I originally thought. Kip started working on my case right away and got my DUI reduced and saved my driver's license. I would have done much worse on my own.

Highly recommended

Kip helped me achieve the best possible outcome in a difficult legal situation. He is very thorough and will let you know honestly what to expect. Very professional and helpful.

Great Attorney! Highly Recommended!

I hired Kip O'Conner to represent me for a DUI and speeding charge. I have never had any experience with the police or court system before and I knew nothing about how to begin the process of helping my case. Kip was highly recommended to my by a friend. Kip took the time to get to know me, my cas...e and the nature of the incident. He worked hard to get me a great result and I was able to keep my license and my job, which was the most important thing to me. He was always available to speak with me and he was very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He was always upfront and honest with me and he did not make any promises that he could not deliver on. He is a good lawyer and person and he is highly recommended.

Great to work with

After receiving a DWAI I searched the web for lawyers. After calling a few Kip was the only one who answered the phone himself and not by a secretary. I was never even able to talk to the other lawyers without having to set up a meeting and pay a consulting fee. Kip answered his phone right away, hea...rd my story and offered suggestions on how he could handle it before I even paid him a dime. That made me feel a lot better and I knew I could trust him. He handled my case well and I had a great outcome. Any time I had a question for him I just had to give him a call and he'd answer immediately or get back to me in a timely manner. He always kept me informed on the case and I never felt out of the loop. I'd definitely hire Kip again but hopefully I'll never have to!
