Michael was able to help me through a traumatic arrest and swiftly got the case dismissed. He was a pleasure to work with. Michael was very responsive and communicative throughout the process.
I hired Michael Fox and his team in January 2023 and my case was resolved by March. The outcome of my case was the best we could have hoped for and the experience was honestly wonderful. The team was respectful of my time and my budget for billable hours, but I still always felt like there was enough time for me to be heard and to ask questions. It was very clear to me that Michael truly cares about the people and communities he represents and will work hard toward achieving the best outcome. I highly recommend Michael Fox and the Kalamaya | Goscha firm.
I am a trial attorney who has collected millions of dollars for clients. I've and have taken over 30 state and federal cases to trial. The vast percentage of those trials ended in successful civil outcomes for my clients or not guilty verdicts. My cases are frequently featured in the national media and Colorado Western Slope local media outlets.

Excellent counsel, Outstanding Results
I had been attempting for 7-8 months to pursue settling an automobile accident/personal injury with a large insurance company to no avail. I called Alpine Legal Services to see if I could get some advice. They gave me the names of three local attorneys; I called and set up times to interview them. The third one was Michael Fox. I spoke first with his paralegal, Janelle, who set up an appointment within the next two days; she spent time chatting with me, and I felt valued and taken care of. In the other two cases, I was put off for several days.
I met with Michael in person who was warm, friendly and listened attentively and compassionately; I was comfortable enough to be forthright and let down my emotions. He laid out clearly what I should expect, what I could expect realistically, and how we would correspond, what the next steps were, etc. (It was in the middle of the lockdown.) Michael was able to provide some details about the other driver, his record, his coverage, etc., information I had not been able to get myself.
Over the next 20 months, we went through all the steps necessary to gather documents, go through the discovery process, etc. Every so often, he would take time to bring me up to date and what to expect next, always checking in with me on my preferences. I especially appreciated that he respected my values regarding litigation, punishment, etc. In the new year, just 3 days before my scheduled deposition, we had several conversations to discuss his strategy for negotiating a settlement to avoid going to court. Each time he checked to see if I were in agreement. On the 4th call he gave the great news. Without giving details, we both agreed that it was a very fortuitous settlement. I have to agree with Janelle that I "got lucky when I got the referral to Michael Fox."

Excellent lawyer - Outstanding results
Michael Fox represented our son for a serious felony case. We selected Michael after searching many online reviews and conducting initial consultation calls. His track record of performance, responsiveness, and communication style contributed to us choosing to move forward with Michael and his firm. Michael’s availability, willingness to walk through all details, knowledge, and professionalism were demonstrated throughout the entire engagement. He remained committed to achieving the best outcome for our son and displayed an unexpected level of concern and compassion – the overall result – an ultimate dismissal, which was obviously the best outcome that could be achieved. We would highly recommend Michael.

Amazing outcome
Michael’s commitment to explaining what was happening and how best to proceed based on our priorities throughout a long process resulted in the complete dismissal of 2 separate but related cases. I couldn’t have hoped for a better result.

Micheal came highly recommended by an excellent Attorney that was unable to take my case. Micheal is a superb Attorney and now I understand why he is so highly recommended both by his peers and by the people he has helped through difficult and challenging situations. I can attest to his abilities and professionalism as well as his sincere concern for his clients. He deserves the solid reviews he has received by all. He has my gratitude and respect. I highly recommend Michael.

Ski injury case
Two years ago I was injured by another skier who fell on top of me while getting off a ski lift. As the Statue of Limitation approached recently and the Insurance Company continued to drag their feet in making a reasonable settlement offer for my injuries, I contacted Michael Fox after searching the internet for a local attorney familiar with ski injury cases.
Michael was extremely compassionate and helpful in assisting a 73 year old skier (me) navigate the process of preparing to file a civil action just in the last few days before the Statue Limitation to preserve my claim His "presence" in my preparing of my final assertions with the Insurance Company resulted in receiving a suitable last-minute settlement offer. Michael invested 2-3 hours of his time over a few days to discuss my injury, my treatment, my prognosis suggestions for my case, and the process required to file a civil complaint at Summit County Court. He was truly an Angel provided by Almighty God to help me out of a tight spot. .And he would not accept any money from me for his help.
Michael's actions were indeed a perfect example of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Michael, thank you so much for your kindness.
I pray that Almighty God will continue to bless you with such care and concern for others and that, as a result, your law practice and law career will be rewarded abundantly for your wonderful outlook, consideration and compassion.

Re: Michael Fox , Associate Trial Attorney with Kalamaya | Gosha
I live on the eastern slope of Colorado and was involved in an accident in July of 2020 in Carbondale. I was referred specifically to Michael Fox by my son's company's law firm of Balcomb and Green, P.C., of Glenwood Springs as a highly competent attorney that they believed would be able to help me well. That is what Michael Fox has most certainly done.
Michael's manner is clear, direct, and generous as he encouraged and answered all my questions. Not only did he bring his skill and knowledge of the law, he brought his compassion, patience and heart to our meetings. He was sensitive to my concerns and process as he adeptly navigated the course of my case. He negotiated well with the DA and another party's attorney to deliver a defined resolution that was just and favorable to me and to all parties involved.
I will always be grateful to Michael for being so smart, so tireless, and such a solid ally and champion. I find him to care about and enjoy his work which I believe is lucky for us all. I highly recommend his services with absolutely no reservations.

Warrant Quashed, Freedom In Sight
Michael Fox did everything he said he would do during our consultation- he successfully got the DA to quash a 5 year old warrant, was eloquent and competent in his delivery of my case to the judge, resulting in a sentence of a short probation period (could’ve been A LOT worse), and provided me with direction necessary to reinstate my drivers license.

Communicative and Compassionate
My experience with Michael Fox was excellent. Mr. Fox gave my case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful. This was my first time needing legal assistance and Mr. Fox helped me through every complicated stage of the year-long process. His ability to communicate kept my anxiety at bay and he was always available to listen and answer my family's and my questions. Mr. Fox was a calming and confident presence during a very difficult and high-profile case. He is extremely passionate and will go the extra mile for you. Each step of the case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Mr. Fox was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable and realistic. I would recommend Mr. Fox for any legal assistance without reservation.

Persistent, Thorough and Kind
This was my first ever experience needing legal assistance and it was a rather emotionally-charged case. From the very beginning through to its conclusion, Michael consistently issued a thorough explanation of details as they arose and made me comfortable with each step being taken. He answered all of my questions with patience and care. I felt completely at ease with him managing my case while I dealt with some challenging life events. Michael refused to settle for anything but the dismissal we both knew to be ethical, and that is precisely what he achieved. He is a dedicated and passionate attorney and I’m so lucky he took on my case.

Michael was absolutely amazing. This is by far the best Law Firm for all legal needs. Michael and the Law Firm were extremely accessible at all times and responded quickly to any of my questions. Michael worked extremely hard for me for DUI and Domestic Violence issues. He treated me as if I was his only client even though I was one of many. He truly cared about my me and my case, as well as my personal well being through some of my personal problems. I am so extremely pleased with everything he did for me and got me the best possible outcome for my case. I'm forever grateful and would recommend Kalamaya Goscha to everyone.

Director, Human Resources
We were referred to Michael due to a need for a criminal lawyer immediately. Although we had no relationship with Michael prior he quickly got up to speed on our case related to an erroneous restraining order. He interacted with his client and family members who were out of state while balancing the communication with the court, changes of judges outside our control that prolonged getting to final judgement, and strategized with integrity, knowledge of the law and care for the human being he was defending. Michael did an excellent job communicating with us status, he was patient to ensure we understood the complexities of legal jargon and responded timely to us as if we were his #1 client. We hope to never be in a situation requiring a criminal lawyer, but if we do Micheal will be our first call. We appreciate Michael and wish him well as he continues in his professional and personal endeavors.
