Molly Jansen delivered a better than expected result!

Molly Jansen did a superb job on my case and delivered a result far better than expected. She is an excellent, attentive lawyer, who always returned my calls with pertinent answers and updates. I had an overzealous DA, who grossly overcharged my case with three felonies. By the time it was all ove...r, all charges were dismissed with prejudice and the case was sealed as if it never existed. Molly's nearly two decades of experience with the courts, judges and D.A's proved to be instrumental to my success. I would not hesitate to hire Molly again.

Molly is an incredible human being who helped me through the worst time of my life. My ex wife was trying to ruin my life on an mpo uncompliance after she called me first and Molly got me multiple deferred judgments in a row. She took my newest case probono just to help me out and make sure I was ok.... She offered financial resources and divorce resources Keith no financial incentive, she just wanted to make sure I was ok. Molly will do whatever it takes to make sure those who treat her fairly and professionally with the utmost respect are ok, because she deserves it. She has DA’s even listening to her radio podcast every morning, the exact people she is going against, just because is so good at her job. If your life is being compromised by the American justice system, if you are at your lowest point, call Molly for a friend and also someone who will fight for you forever only because she cares

Used to be excellent. Now is untrustworthy and doesn't communicate.

Molly Jansen has been my lawyer for the better part of 2 decades and early on in our relationship she was excellent. Communicative and supportive. Recently however her ability to be a good lawyer - and moreover a trusted "friend" - has all but abandoned her. I hired Molly Jansen and paid her upf...ront (in 2 payments) at her request. I recall being a couple days late on my second payment, and she was very quick to reprimand me. Aside from that minor character trait that shown through that day (which I suppose was understandable to be fair), during Molly Jansen's defense of me, she regularly: - Made commitments to speak to me, and update me, that were not kept. - Was late to virtual court appearances. (one time simply did not appear) - Requested, received and then re-requested documentation from me, indicating that it had been lost, misplaced, etc. - Provided me information that was inaccurate. Information that I later was informed of [correctly] from other parties in of the judicial system. Additionally, Molly Jansen made a personal financial commitment to me that she simply forfeit. Not a portion of it was honored, there was no attempt at a conversation to restructure her offer, I was never even told that she made a hasty mistake that she regretted, she effectively "ghosted" me. Oh yeah... One other thing... While in the middle of my defense, Molly Jansen was suspended from practicing law (19PDJ074). At the time of Molly's suspension she did not convey this information to me personally and directly, but instead I was a recipient of a LinkedIn post from her, where she was explaining to her connections that she was looking for work. Her title - prophetically and ironically - stated "Former Attorney". To make matter worse, following Molly Jansen's suspension she passed me on to a (first) replacement attorney who she explained was aware of my situation and who would help guide me across the finish line, and who was very similar to her in his fierce defense of his clients. When I spoke to this gentleman however, he was totally unaware of the details of my situation, and had no desire to defend me. When I contacted Molly Jansen about this, she just simply besmirched this attorney's name and reputation; which of course made me curious why she referred me to him in the first place (?). Ultimately I did get a referral to a very nice and professional lawyer who got me to-and-through my sentencing. Molly Jansen, in my opinion, has just simply and unfortunately lost her touch as the excellent litigator she once was, and was derelict of her duty to me. More regrettably, she appears to have has also lost some of her personal integrity, and in doing so my respect as a personal acquaintance; all because of a relatively small financial commitment that she made to me, that she welched on. I do not advise that you consult with her. I do not advise that you hire her.

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 Alex | May 11, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Worth every penny!!!!

I hired Molly for a domestic violence charge. Not knowing the law or ever having had an issue with anything legal before, she was great about explaining and notifying me what i needed to do and what was going to happen next. She was able to get my entire case dismissed and my life back to normal. I c...ouldnt be happier with her and would absolutely recommend and use her again.
