DUI case

She is the biggest badass. I would choose her over anyone at anytime. She cares about me l, after everything and fights for my rights . I lost but I feel like a winner!

We can't thank you enough, Molly!

Ms. Jansen is an intelligent,friendly, fearless attorney with the ability to think "outside the box." She really took a personal interest in my daughter's well-being and managed to secure an unheard of deal.

What A Joke

I hired Jansen for a serious felony charge against my son. From the get go she acted like she was going to do something, yet actions are louder than words. My son is an alcoholic and struggled in the bonding phase of the entire ordeal. Molly's advise, "Stop Drinking". When the important things were h...appening, like hearings, and building a case for his defense, Molly was never around. Her assistants were usually 20 to 30 minutes late for court, and never knew what was going on. One actually told my son to make an important case decision, never discussed prior, 5 minutes before going in front of the judge. In the end Molly force fed my son the original plea deal from the DA, continually badgering him to take the deal because, "If you go to trial and lose your going to do real time in DOC! Never laying out a defense plan never discussing one. He never even gave his side of the story to the judge. At sentencing, she gave a lack luster speech to the judge, and he gave my son the exact sentence that the DA requested. She actually acted like she got him some kind of deal?!? In the end I paid her a huge sum of money to do nothing. This is a great example of buyer beware. So, buyers BEWARE!

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.

Molly Jansen is the best of the best

Molly Jansen was a beacon of hope when my options appeared to be limited, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. I worked with two lawyers prior to hiring Molly for my defense case. They had primed me to believe that had I decided to proceed to trial, I’d be found guilty ...and the punishment would be much worse than if I took the plea. Either way, I was told to prepare for some jail time. I was filled with fear as I am a single mother of two young children and the thought of going to jail simply crushed me. I knew that without counsel, I wouldn’t stand a chance against the Judge assigned to my case. She was known to pride herself on her harsh approach for prosecution. Time was not on my side as my case had aged nearly two years at this point. I knew with all certainty that I had to seek counsel that was indefatigable, pristine and professional. Simply stated, I needed the best of the best. That’s when I found Molly. I called her office late in the day, so I assumed I’d leave a message with her receptionist and hear back sometime later that week. That was not the case. Molly called me back immediately! I was over the moon. Her confidence absolutely enthralled me!! She arranged to meet with me that same week! In just a few hours she was able to turn chaos into order. She understood that we had a very short time frame to prepare for trial, but she assured me it was the right way to go. Her decorum was impressive to say the least. She was very thorough, clear and concise in her work. Not once was I left feeling uncertain. Her professionalism was impeccable. She returned every single one of my calls, emails, and texts, without hesitation. At each of my court dates, she was ready and waiting, she treated my time as something worth value. I never had to wait on her. There was one court date that Molly, unfortunately was in a car accident earlier that morning. I hadn't the slightest idea of things being in disarray as she, from the hospital, arranged to have a colleague of hers represent me in court that day! Even with her own problems, she put me, her client first. I was wowed by her invincibility! Through the series of unfortunate events, she never dropped the ball. She was back on my case within a week and ready to go to trail. I was so grateful! Molly never asked anything of me as she took on all the work herself, making me feel at ease. She made sure to take time to review things prior to the date of trial so that I'd surely be in the know. The day of trial I was a mess. I was more than nervous, but Molly has a way with words unlike any other. Within minutes she eased my anxiety and reassured me of the outcome being in my favor. Her positivity is absolutely infectious. I had all the faith in the world that Molly, through her hard work and dedication, would clear my name. Her fight in the courtroom completely wowed me! She was confident and strong. Her words flowed without a blunder. As court was in recess for lunch, Molly chose to spend the hour with me. She didn't sit with me to simply talk business. She lent an ear and heard me out while helping lighten the mood and the stresses of the day. She was not robotic or rehearsed. She was a person who truly showed that she cared and was expressively passionate about her work. Shortly after court resumed, the jury came back with the verdict of NOT GUILTY!!! I had no words other than THANK YOU! I was overjoyed! As Molly and I walked out of the courtroom, she hugged me and said "I knew we could do it!" but it was she that did it! Not only was Molly able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. Molly Jansen without reservation!

Posted by Chris K | July 13, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

I hired Molly and Jansenlegal twice. I couldn't have made a better decision.

I had a DWAI, my second offense. Molly returned contact within 24 hours to hear my situation. I gave her every detail I could remember. No lies. She told me how things would go every step of the way. She even adjusted her schedule a few times within reason, to keep our meetings from affecting my job.... Not once did I feel unsure of the actions we took. In my event, the situation was against me due to a fill-in DA, a hard Judge, and not being offered any deal for over 4 months. We were about to take the case to trial and Molly had struck an unheard-of deal with the DA. Later, I ended up in the doghouse with probation. They were trying to revoke my deal. Molly and Jansenlegal was able to represent me and my actions to the court and squash the revocation before it started. I can't thank Molly and Jansenlegal enough for the time and efforts they put in for my case. I highly recommend Molly and her firm for DUI and DWAI cases in and around the Denver area. Her expertise is beyond that of another lawyer I hired in the past. Her knowledge and confidence exceeded my expectations. When I needed to contact Molly or Jansenlegal there was never a big-time delay. I could reach someone to get answers about my case within a few hours given their current situation or schedule. I think it should be said if you get a different person in lieu of the lawyer you were to have in court. That lawyer has given you the best fill-in for them with confidence. I had a fill-in or two and they did great. When Molly was present I knew there was a reason she was there and everything she did was worth the efforts. Also, if you're not honest with your lawyer it comes back on you. Anything left in the air will end up becoming a problem and not having a plan for that will take the life out of your defensive plan. When your case is being rescheduled for another date, it’s because that time gives your defense more time to get the best possible plan of action. Or you asked for more time and they tried to get that for you. You hire a lawyer to represent you, to be honest with you and to guide you through the legal system. Molly and her team does this to the T and will not sugar coat what needs to be said. If you need to hear it, you will. Straightforward, blunt if need be, no Bull$eit. I hope I will not need to, but if I ever do need a lawyer again, my first choice will be Molly Jansen and her firm. I highly recommend you contact her about your case and see what she can do to help you.
