Terrible

I fired my first attorney because he did not present any evidence at the DMV hearing that I wanted a breath test that was captured on audio and given to the DA by the police. He also did not represent me in court, it was always someone else, he only represented me at the DMV hearing. Molly talked a... good game but don't fall for her BS on the radio. I was informed by Kathy, Mollys receptionist, that Molly would be representing me and assured me that Molly would not send a different attorney because this was a problem that I had with my first attorney. I hired Molly for DUI and she had all the video and audio proving that I wanted a breath test and I was not the person to get my truck stuck, (It was my step-daughter that was operating my truck as written in the police report, I wasn't even at the scene when the police showed up.) I was arrested for DUI an hour and a half after the police were at the scene when I was walking to the scene from my house to help my step-daughter. Molly didn't even bother to show up at my trial date twice. I had her paid in full. Molly sent another attorney the day of my trial to represent me, (because I was told she didn't have a good reputor with the judge), that I never met and he knew nothing about my case and he told me to plead guilty. He told me that he was not going to cross examine any witnesses or present any evidence the day of my trial, (an hour before my trial). The judge said that she would not continue my trial being she already had to continue it because Molly did not show up to my first trial date. I ended up firing him because if he is not going to fight for me then I have to fight for myself and present the evidence myself. Needless to say I am not an experienced "liar" and I was found guilty. My life has been ruined since my conviction because I am in the Automotive and Diesel Industry and it is next to impossible to find a job in this industry with a DUI on your record. What Molly did should be considered criminal and she should be brought up on charges and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Molly should be banned from ever representing anybody in a court of law. By my experience, beware and stay away. Molly will take your money and hang you out to dry. I don't know how Molly or anyone associated with her can sleep at night. Run fast and far away from Molly Jansen and her associate goons!!

This comment is completely false, baseless and a misrepresentation of the facts. Ms. Jansen denies each and every claim above. Ms. Jansen is precluded by the Colorado Professional Rules of Conduct to comment, as doing so would violate attorney-client privilege.

Posted by anonymous | February 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

159mph in a 65

If you're looking for AGGRESSIVE representation...AND THE BEST hire the Jansen team. She tells it to you straight forward and how it is. She's as aggressive as a rattlesnake. She fears no DA. Candy coats nothing. Responds to each and every text. I was caught going 159mph going north on 287 betwe...en Lafayette and Longmont. Plead guilty to a 3 point ticket. ..... what more can you say? Stop wasting your time. Don't risk your future. Hire Molly and her team and take a deep breath of relief. Hire the BEST or roll the dice. That's the facts.

Effective and quick resolution

Molly was great handling my case. When I first called her she explained the whole process in detail and made herself available for a meeting in the next few days. She gave me plenty of information on this type of case, some valuable legal advice and instructions on how to proceed with the authoritie...s/hearings/court dates. My case dragged on for a few months, and Molly is very busy (as anyone who is good at what they do...), so I didn't speak to her a whole lot during this time, except for court dates when I saw her and a few e-mails in between. Sometimes I had ping her a couple of times before she got back to me, but she always did, before all my deadlines. Made me a bit nervous at times but I knew she hadn't forgotten about my case. Apart from that, her follow up is good, if she is not sure of something she'll go after the answer and let you know. When I had an issue she offered to contact past customers to see how they handled similar situations. Overall I was completely satisfied, she did great on court, explained everything very well, answered all my questions, was smart about the case/the staff working on it and at the end got me a pretty good deal. She's incredibly professional and, on a more personal note, she is friendly, funny and relatable.

Professional, Knowledgeable and Informative

I called Molly to get some advice in regards to filing a petition to seal a case that occurred over 10 years ago. She spent time with me on the phone explaining what was needed to be done in order for it to be handled quickly and accurately. Since I am from out of town and would not be able to appe...ar for a court date I decided to hire Molly to handle the entire process for me. She was very through, detail oriented, honest and fair. She informed me of all the steps involved and kept me up to date on the completion of the process and once the petition was granted. She is a pleasure to deal with and I would certainly use her again.

The hardest working lawyer in denver!!!

Molly and her team are in my opinion and Experiance the best criminal defense lawyers you can ask for!! Molly worked on my case for about 3 yrs, she was determined to see justice prevail and with her by my side it did. I would HIGHLY recommend Molly and her team to represent you in your case. Molly ...always kept me informed on what was going on in my case, discussed different options with me but ultimately left the decision up to my family and myself and not matter what I decided I have never seen anyone work so hard to make sure the out come was in my favor. It was a long and sometimes dark and seemingly never ending road but with Molly there was always a light that it would all be ok. The thing that seperates Molly from other lawyers that I have delt with is she treated me like a person and not just a case and I am forever greatful for that!!! You may see people on here upset with there out come of there case but remember we are looking for a lawyer for a reason you can't expect magic if you have made a mistake !! I love Molly for what she has done for my family and i and forever greatful for her dedication to her clients and YOU would be a FOOL to not hire her for your case!!!
