Kevin S. Vander Werff

Can’t say I would highly recommend nor would I say that I don’t recommend using Kevin and his team. Overall I think it was a waste of money and a public defender or just self representation would have done the exact same job and it would have been free. That being said I have not had a bad experience... with anyone or any process of Rocky Mountain Defenders I just feel like they didn’t really do anything to help me. Kevin was there for 2/5 court dates and I had to reach out to the office for both occasions to have him get on the zoom meeting pushing me back and making my zoom court dates both well over 2 hours each. Kevin gave very little help in the negotiation process with the prosecution and just told me that it’s up to me but I should take the first and initial plea deal they were offering and obviously didn’t read my case or watch any of the footage from the incident. So with that, if you want representation just to take a plea in abeyance which you can get just by representing yourself then definitely worth the money.

Kevin worked his magic and helped me through my legal process. He would make sure to call me well before my court appearances and get me on board with what I needed to do, say, etc. I got to my last court date and we were ready to join the judge on a zoom type call but we didn’t even have to join, my... case was already dismissed. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because at times I would have to contact other people in his company to get ahold of him or get questions answered. The communication would lack at times but other than that, Kevin is great at what he does!!

If your needing a lawyer do Not hire Kevin we hired him three weeks before court & he didn’t communicate with us calling his office we were told we had to make an apt to have him call us & had to set up an apt for him to call our son in jail also my son tried many times to reach out to him & no answe...r! He doesn’t take his job seriously he doesn’t see the long term affect this has on our family & our son! He wouldn’t let us talk he’d just over talk us everytime we reached out to him with our concerns! It was like he wanted the money but didn’t want to listen to our side and has his mind made up already. My son has been in there for a month now and he couldn’t even speak up like he did to us and ask for bail!! If your to busy or can’t talk well with others why do this job?! Breaks my heart as a momma to expect a good job to be done & In return get treated like crap!! Now my son is paying the price and sitting longer because he said we were asking to much & removed himself from the case!! How’s asking for communication to much?!
