Amazing representation

Molly fought for me like I was a part of her family. I hired Molly to represent me for my 1st dui defense. She was always more than happy to answer any questions I had and explain things in multiple ways with great detail to make sure I understood her answer. I am 100% happy with my decision to hire ...Molly for my legal needs. I would recommend Molly to anyone. She will go to battle for you and not blink an eye.

Tells it how it is!! and great follow through!

I recently discovered an active three year old warrant out on my self. Molly Jansen reached out quickly after my initial call. She provided concise and accurate advice on what I need to do to begin the clean up process. I did hire her team, and for a fairly serious charge that she got dismissed on th...e very first court appearance. Professional and knowledgeable advice was facilitated by effective communication leaving me as stress free as possible throughout my tribulation. I would highly recommend her services!!

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.

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.

Amazing

I highly recommend Molly Jansen. First off I have only had one experience with lawyers was through my divorce and I wasn’t to pleased with their services and I have never had any legal issues. I was very skeptical about hiring an attorney and upon consulting with a few I was told I didn’t have a very... “strong case” mostly due to a very botched traffic stop and arrest and i didn’t want to get charged with a crime I didn’t commit. I am someone who will admit if I am in the wrong for something if that had been the case I wouldn’t have sought legal council. I had finally consulted with Molly and she took her time went through every detail with me from that night and advised me on my rights and even gave some legal advice and this all even before I hired her on as my attorney. She was very straight to the point nor did she blow smoke she assured me it wasn’t going to be an easy process but it was worth the fight. From day one I had felt like she had my best interest and was willing to fight for me and on top of that she is an extremely compassionate human being at the beginning of all of all of this I got extremely sick and ended up in the hospital and her first concern was how I was doing and continued to check on me. And like I had said before I didn’t have a “strong case” and there was no plea deal on the Table. I got my day in court she walked me through every step of the process not leaving out any details I let her do her thing and it was amazing to see how much she had studied the case and how much knowledge of the laws and law enforcement protocol she had. And when I say she is with you every step of the way I mean it she was with me in between every break making sure I was fine and and if I had any questions. I was found not guilty on Both a DUI and DWAI. I am extremely happy with my decision to go with Jansen Legal to defend me on this case.
