I called with a small issue. They were able to "guide" me in the right direction with just a consultation. I will absolutely be using them when the time comes. Very knowledgeable.

Mr. Gaddis is an excellent attorney. He provided immediate assistance to a member of my family the moment I called him for help. He always communicated with me, answered questions, and provided me with relief in a stressful situation. He was able to achieve the best outcome for my family member. I highly recommend Aaron Gaddis to anyone who needs legal representation in his area of law.

This was my first experience retaining an attorney, so me not knowing much I just did a simple google search, black and Graham was rated the highest plus they are the most expensive around. I thought that means they are great what they do... well lol I was wrong. They are great at giving bad advice and and taking advantage of people like me who relies on autocorrect to type.

I've made my complaint to them and they stand by their lawyers actions, which they should otherwise why would they be working their. Plus they are good with words as lawyers are so they turn me taking advice from my attorney to you got what you wanted.

Since I hate reading long reviews I'll sum it up. After retaining a new law firm, my new attorney ended up getting everything I was asking for. So don't be me and go with the best google review and most expensive. Theres better out their for less. My new attorney actually cut me a huge deal because they are familiar with how black and Graham operates.

It's a 2 star review because they are good at taking advantage of the simple guy who doesn't know much about law firms. Plus they don't have a 2 star review and they deserve more of them.

Best of luck in your search for a law firm.

Edit: to respond saying I received a worse deal with my new attorney is far from the truth and is a matter of opinion, black and Graham provided a service, a service I feel was not satisfactory. Make your own decisions of where to retain a lawyer, just make sure you do the proper research.

Please do not waste your money or time using this firm. They will take what they can then drop you as quickly as possible due to "conflict of interest" leaving you to find a new attorney. I spent over 13k, my lawyer left the firm in the middle of our case, Black and Graham promised to appoint a new one but then found a loophole to drop me stating 1)conflict of interest 2) no other attorneys available in their office with the time/expertise to help me in my family law case. literally 13k down the drain leaving me to start over. PLEASE PLEASE heed my advice.

I wish I could give Negative stars, I had a straight forward case and Graham dropped the ball.

Graham took on my case a couple of years ago,

I was a single father with stacks of evidence including photos of burns that my ex-wife left on my son, audio recordings, please reports, etc.

I saw lots of good reviews but the couple negative ones turned out to be the most honest.

In the beginning he really appealed to me by telling me about all of the cases he had won and selling me what I wanted to happen on mine.

When it came time to start working on my case I quickly found out that Graham was a lot more talk then he was capable of acting on.

We had a CFI assigned to work our case, I had never dealt with the CFI before and was on sure of what to expect.

One would think that their attorney would attempt to prepare them for what might come up however not this attorney, it was quickly evident that I was a paycheck and not a father fighting for his son.

I confronted him after he told me to “just accept their proposals,” Graham quit shortly after abruptly and over email. He told me that he didn’t want to work on my case any longer and then tried to ask for several thousand dollars more.

Please think twice before coming here, if you do end up hiring Graham then be Conscious of how much effort he invests in your child’s future, if it’s not the amount you think your family deserves then don’t let Graham continue to fall short of you and your children.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Payed over $8,000 and had to fire my attorney before I even had a court date. Spent 5 months without seeing my child and my attorney from Black & Graham didn't even think to file a temp custody order. My new attorney filed a temp order immediately and I had my child custody in place that month. Not to mention that my attorney from Black & Graham failed to communicate important events on several dates, failed to explain that I needed to schedule my witnesses leaving me one weeks notice to do it. Absolutely Horrible

I must say I had high hopes hiring Mr. Black but wasn’t all too satisfied with the outcome. I just really hoped things had worked out differently and also that I had some more intel from him with full disclosure just to prevent such a disappointment.

Carl Graham assisted me with a family case and I could not be more impressed. He told me very plainly upfront what he thought of the case, what was possible, and what it would take to get there. He guided the case through over a year of mediation and litigation and in the end, out prepped and out planned the opposing side.

Additionally, the support at Black and Graham was top notch. Paralegals and office staff are professional, competent, and kind.

I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do, there's no other place I'd go.

I wish I had selected a different firm to represent my case. The lawyer assigned to me was unresponsive, wasted huge gaps of time that should have been spent on time sensitive aspects of my case and over charged me by thousands of dollars for wasteful late actions. $15,000 later, I asked them to withdraw so I could secure better counsel to represent me.

Kyle was extremely rude on my initial phone call just to receive information on scheduling an appointment. She used terminology that I wasn't familiar with and when I asked for more guidance on a word she was using she got an attitude with me as if I was annoying her. I’m new to this subject and I googled the best law firms and I thought I would be choosing this company, because of their high ratings. Needless to say I will not be, because of my first absolutely rude experience.

The blond woman at the front desk was so completely rude. I would strongly advise putting someone there that will represent your company better. Twice I've gone in and the same woman was rude. Unbelievable. I was literally there to leave thousands of dollars to be treated badly by her.

Though the woman was rude I've decided to change my review because of effort to ensure better treatment in the future.

I was so pleased with my results and services from attorney Aaron Gaddis and paralegal Amy Oberholser at Black & Graham, that I returned to them for further assistance. Amy is very kind, punctual, and prepared to acknowledge any question that you may have. Aaron is comfortably dedicated to you personally and is always capable of thoroughly explaining the circumstances of your case. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

After findinding myself in a difficult legal situation I was on the search for a Good attorney, during my search I came across Aaron Gaddis and had a long phone conversation with him describing my situation he definitely made me feel comfortable and confident that he would do his very best to help me resolve my situation with the best possible outcome.
During the next five months he worked with me in not only resolving this situation but a traffic matter that had come up in the meantime .
I'm sure I was not the most pleasant client at times while I was very frustrated with my situation he was always patient and always remain calm ,hoping I never have the need for an attorney dealing with legal situation again but if I do I will not hesitate to call him for help.

I'm sincerely grateful to have had the Black & Graham team in my corner! I feel that my situation may have turned out drastically different had it not been for them. Throughout my experience, I never felt "out of the loop", mislead, or left in the dark. I was also provided with ample resources. While it certainly wasn't an easy time, the Black & Graham team made this time feel painless. It's my professional and personal opinion that if you have the opportunity to be represented by them, you should choose to do so.

Unprofessional, unprepared, and inconsiderate of a client's time. Sent in all the information and filled out all the forms requested before the consultation, well in advance. $175 for a consultation and Carl Graham didn't even begin to look at the complex case until the client walked through the door.

I was highly satisfied with the service I received at Black and Graham, the staff was helpful and pleasant. Aaron Gaddis is an amazing criminal defense attorney and did what he could and fought for me to get a lesser and better sentence. That means that was no jail time and he took a lot of the stress that I had at the beginning and now there is no stress. I will recommend him to whomever need a criminal defense attorney because he does not lie to you and he keeps his promises.

I was blessed to have Black and Graham as part of a state grant funded program. They helped me above and beyond what would have been expected, and even when impossible circumstances were going to drag it out much longer, they were planning on standing by me and providing the best of representation. However, with the quality of their professional services, we won the first time thru :) You want them to represent U! Otherwise, they might be on the other side...lol.

Hello - I just wanted to acknowledge one of the best custody lawyers in Colorado Springs, Jennifer Helland! I've utilized Jenni in two separate custody disputes with favorable results in both, the first in 2011 and another in Oct. 2016. Jenni was able to prevent my ex from leaving the state with my daughter, obtained 50/50 custody, and just recently secured full custody as my ex attempted move again. Custody lawyers in general are never cheap, so pick a good one! Jenni is extremely intelligent, quick-thinking, and understands how to argue family matters.

Jenni - I couldn't thank you enough for everything you've done for my family! Keep up the great work!!

Amy Oberholser, Aaron's paralegal, was an outstanding help for me. She handled my situation with great professionalism. Her patience with me was very comforting. She really showed how much she cared and no matter how many times I called she never got annoyed with me.

Amy went out of her way to help me. I'm living in Massachusetts so I was not physically able to go to the courthouse. Amy delivered documents for me that I emailed to her. She was just simply amazing.

Aaron Gaddis represented me on my 2014 case. He got me a great plea deal which allowed me to move back home to Massachusetts. My case is now closed and my record is clean.

In response to the one star review from S.Crow. I am the client and my experience and legal fees are worth every penny. This firm is very professional, knowledgeable, and they got the job done. I would never want to go to any court proceeding's without this firms representation. We have been successful at every hearing thus far and they continue to represent me at this point. I can understand the other parties discontent, but they should've done better research when finding an attorney. I've dealt with more than one attorney and numerous staff members from this firm and I cannot express how amazing it feels to have support from such a Sharpe group of knowledgeable professionals on my side. Do the research and see for yourself. Highly recommend!

I had moved from Colorado Springs to Aurora. I was in a car accident in 2011 and thought that it had been taken care of. Unfortunetly it wasn't. I was picked up on a bench warrent. Once I got out I started looking for an attorney to represent me. After some research I chose this company. My attorney was Aaron Geddes and he bent over backwards to help me with my cases. I also had one in Aurora for my plates. I had two appearences on the same day at the same time. He was off that day and dropped everything to come to Arapahoe county to help me out while I was in Colorado Springs. Needless to say he went above and beyond all expectations as did his paralegal. I would recommend this group to everyone. They do an outstanding job.

After researching several law firms in the Colorado Springs area, I had the good fortune to choose Black & Graham, L.L.C. to represent me. My case was handled personally by Mr. Carl Graham, one of the senior partners, and I could not have asked fora more skilled or experienced advocate.

Mr. Graham and his assistant, paralegal Tracey Kellett, were wonderful to work with. They listened to my concerns, took great care to understand the situation, and acted on my behalf in a most competent and caring manner.

I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to any of my friends or family. They carried me safely through some very rough waters and I am very appreciative of that.

Jenni at Black & Graham was the most cordial and fair divorce attorney I've heard of. This was my first and hopefully on go around on this and I could not be more satisfied. Not only was she extremely fair with pricing and not nickel and diming you to death, but also kept you informed with her para-legals and with phone and e-mail communication. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a divorce, especially in the military. I have no doubt she would serve anyone else just as good as she served me. Thanks!

Simply put "They are the best in colorado springs", other firms give you the run around. We have been doing business with Black&Graham 4 years and counting. If you are considering other options for representation "stop". You'll be waisting your time and money with anyone else. This law firm is outstanding, professional and exceptional. Our family owns and operates a medical marijuana center, compliance and legality are essential daily procedures. Understanding these correct procedures is a necessity. Anything marijuana related should be addressed by the best.

There is only one. "Black&Graham" Accept no substitutions.

Mr. Black is currently representing me in a case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney. From the initial consult to the court proceedings, he has been straight-forward, proficient and has set me at ease. My court date was today and when the DA submitted that I was not able to seal my record, Mr. Black disputed and was able to get that overturn (which was a big deal for me). Not only did he strongly represent me but each time I went into the office, everyone was always very pleasant and made me feel at ease during this very stressful situation.

I was recently involved with a (F4) Theft & (F5) Submitting a False Instrument. I was worried so much that I could have lost my job if they would have found out and hurt me more in the long run for my career. I was worried about having jail time and a conviction on my record for the rest of my life and losing my civil rights, i.e. losing my rights to own a weapon and/or a carry concealment license. I barely made enough but still made over the requirements to obtain a Public Defender. I started to call around and found Mr. Clifton Black. I setup a consultation and at that first meeting, we got to chat and discuss the case. It was a great first meeting that I ended up hiring Mr. Black. After going back and forth with the DA, Mr Black was able to get my get my 2 Felonies dismissed and dropped down to a DEFERRED Class 2 Misdemeanor with Fines, Fees and a Suspended Sentence. Mr. Black is a wonderful person and a great Attorney. If I ever need another Attorney in the future, Clifton Black would be the person to go. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a Criminal Defense Attorney.

I was recently involved in a Domestice violece case I was wrongly accused of and I felt the the "victim" and the police took advantage of the situation and I had no way to prove myself after being released from the el paso county jail I began my search for an attorney I felt would take my case seriously and push for the best results possible I talked to two other attorneys and then I was referred to Clifton Black of Black and Graham after meeting with Clifton for a consult I felt I was in good hands he explained the process to me so I could make the right decisions for my future. We tried every thing to prove my innocence but still ended up taking my case to trial where Clifton Black proved himself to be the best attorney I could of asked for he made the jury see the whole story and not just the parts and bits the District attorney would like them to see. If I had to refer anyone to an attorney or lawfirm it would be Clifton Black of Black and Graham

Carl Graham has represented my family for over 9 years. I am a single father and have heard horror stories of how some fathers get the short end of the stick at times with our court systems. Carl’s expertise and knowledge of our judicial system is incredible. I hired Carl to protect my family from my children’s neglectful mother and grandmother until each of them had been emancipated. He did everything in his power to present to the courts evidence proving that my children were with the correct parent and also presented to the court that grandparent’s do not automatically have rights in this state to see their grandchildren unless they had a close and quasi parental relationship with them. Carl also protected my children by assuring that the proper amount of child support was being paid by their mother.

I would recommend Carl’s services to absolutely anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation.
Thanks Carl!

Oliver handled our divorce in a very smooth and efficient manner. He provided the best legal advice without any surprises and is more concerned about his clients overall than racking up needless billable hours with the same result. He also expertly handled a custody issue. No surprises, very affordable, and probably the best value you'll get in El Paso County. His years of experience and connections showed up.

I went to see Carl Graham for assistance for an unexpected divorce. This could have been a messy divorce as there were property, business and children involved. Carl Graham absolutely made this as easy on me as possible. He was extremely knowledgeable about the laws surrounding my situation. He managed to keep me sane while keeping the opposite side in check to ensure my rights were respected. He made sure I was taken care of during the process. His office staff were accessible and always available to answer questions, they even help me see some of the humor in the situation. Thanks Tracy and Michelle. My settlement was favorable and I could not have asked for more. This office and staff were incredible and I would not hesitate to use them again.

The attorneys at Black and Graham have been there for me when I have needed them the most. Cliff Black assisted me in a traffic related matter. He told me exactly what to expect in court and was able to reduce my ticket to the bare minimum. His knowledge, his persistence, and his pleading were outstanding. Carl Graham represented me in a family matter a few years back. He made the process easy to understand and less painful. He got me the results he predicted and in a promptly manner. I have never made a better choice in selecting Black and Graham to represent me in any legal matter. Fair disclosure – a partner is now my husband, but this occurred after my representation was complete. I know that the attorneys at Black and Graham are courteous, friendly, and professional. I have been there many times to observe how they treat other clients, and they will do whatever is in their power to help you and guide you as best they can and get you a more than satisfactory outcome.
