Christopher and Leslie where very helpful through out our criminal case and never left us with unanswered questions. I felt like the truly cared about my son and his well being. Even then we were waiting on the DA to make decisions the two of them ensured us that we would be ok and that they are doing everything in the power to keep things moving. There was frustration in our case as we would not hear from the DA until the day before court and sometimes not at all. Chris did his best to keep reaching out and got my son the justice that he deserved. Anytime that he was in court his assistant would let me know what was going on and answer all of my questions. They went above and beyond for our family and always lead with care and compassion

Chris Welch and Leslee Cadenas were very helpful through out my case. I had been extremely shaken and nervous about what was about to happen to me. After my consolation with Mr. Welch, a lot my worries were put at ease. I was very impressed about the quick response to my emails and questions from both of them. During the time of my case, I felt that I was given good advice from Mr. Welch. I Would recommend them both to anybody who has the need for a defense attorney.

I had called a few offices before explaining that I had a case that I needed to seal. The last time I tried several years prior, the DA’s office team threw some large jargon words at me in the court and the court sided with them and chose not to seal my case. Several years had a past and a situation came up because of a classified job I needed access to with the DoD and I knew I needed to get this remove from my background ASAP. I called a few attorney's offices prior and one particularly gave me the run around that they would work on the case and it will take 6 months and possibly have to go to trial even though the case was dismissed. All that time, I visualized dollar signs in the person's eyes on the other end of my line with a devilish grin used by shady car sales dealerships ready to rob every penny from my soul. I said I would get back to her and hung up the phone only to wash my body clean from the witchcraft of a possession that person tried to have me commit to their insanity. Then I spoke with the team at Clifton Black and what made me set up the initial consultation was his office staff. They made me say yes because of their professionalism and warm greetings so kudos to them. Then they set me up with the initial consultation with Charles Allen. Charles was very comforting, state the facts, and made me feel like I could trust him. Once that trust was established, I knew then he would work with his team to get it done. It was all in how he listened and presented himself. You never know what a court might do but it felt like someone’s got your back and that’s how I felt. I hired him right after the call and said let's get started. Needless to say, less than 10 days from that initial call, my case was sealed. I was in amazement. I can’t thank the team enough. Great job all around and hopefully my future may never need their support in this situation again but I would highly recommend them and they will be the first team I call if ever needed something they could cover. Great job!

Very responsive to email and calls. Polite and professional. Everything was handled seamlessly even when Chris was sick with covid. Would recommend or use again if necessary.

I had juvenile charges that were from 1999 and before. Christopher Welch and Leslie Cadenas did an excellent job of walking me through the process of getting these records expunged. I am very thankful for all the help and quick follow up every time I had questions. Awesome and friendly team that made the process smooth and easy!

In July of 2021 I had an incident at a local restaurant where the employees took it upon themselves to call the authorities and report that I was under the influence of drugs and or alcohol. I was not. I am not a career criminal, but I am familiar to a certain extent with the do‘s and don’ts of what I should have done in the specific situation. Unfortunately, I did it anyways. By that I mean the roadside sobriety test or simply not speaking. I immediately began vetting several local DUI attorneys. There’s no question that I felt most comfortable/ confident in my decision to put Charles on retainer. There were zero reasons that this should have been escalated to the point that it did that night. However, there I was, charged with a DUI and careless driving. There were countless days that Charles and Leslie took me out of a frantic and absolutely furious state of what I refer to as “legal purgatory”, all the way through to the end. An end that I’m still blown away by. Charles was able to achieve what I believe few could, a complete and total dismissal of my case. -As well as getting the entire case sealed and removed from my record. I’ll be the first to admit that I was not the easiest client. Many factors played into that, but no matter how many times I called, emailed with some outlandish idea about how I (personally) could intervene, and remedy the situation. They were always there to talk me down, and remind me of the repercussions for whatever it was that I had my mind set on doing. They had every right to feel frustrated, and not want to deal with me. I’d assume after the first week or so of taking on my case, but it never happened. They were always consistent, sincere, and willing to go above and beyond to help me in whatever capacity they could. I couldn’t be more heartfelt and genuine in my recommendation to trust this law firm and the immense amount of knowledge and skill that each individual person brings to the table. My outcome could not have been any better, and for that I am eternally grateful.

The Law Offices of Clifton Black specifically Attorney Charles Allen and Paralegal Leslee Cadenas were exceptional in every aspect of my case. They worked swiftly and effortlessly to fill all of my legal needs. Would Recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much Charles!

Attorney Chris was very professional. He got our case dismissed and we couldn’t be happier. He was very honest and kind. He advised us right and just made us feel like we could trust him, and am glad we did.

If you're looking for a Law office that gets results and takes your case seriously this is it! From the first phone call I was never misled or left questioning a single thing. Every email I sent was either responded to quickly or they would call me to make sure they understood my question so they could answer it accurately.

Mr. Charles Allen is an amazing attorney, he worked along side with Ms. Leslee, Jennifer as well as Mr. Clifton Black to ensure that I had the appropriate amount of counsel and support while serving as my defense attorney. Mr. Charles was a very distinguished lawyer who devoted countless amount of time and energy to ensure that I had a fair fight while going through the process of court. Not only was he a brilliant man and an expert in his craft, but he was also a passionate, considerate, and a righteous man and lawyer in which I come to have the fullest respect for during our previous encounter. I am grateful for your passion, dedication, and professionalism that you have shown towards me. You, your staff, and your team are truly the best group of individuals in the state of Colorado and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the Law Offices of Clifton Black. May the Law Offices of Clifton Black continue to prosper in the years to come and may GOD continue to bless you all in the work that you do. Thank you so much for all the help, support, and counsel Mr. Charles Allen and Leslee Jennifer!

I have never had to hire a lawyer before so the entire process was daunting and overwhelming. Especially when you have never had to deal with the court system before. Right off the bat from my initial consultation Charlie and Leslee both spoke with very kind and understanding natures. Charlie answered all of my questions right off the bat and there were a lot of them! There wasn't a time that I ever had difficulties reaching Charlie and if I couldn't get him when I first reached out he always responded within the hour. He was great about communicating both via phone and email to make sure all of my questions got answered. At the time of my hearings, he was great about walking me through the steps so I made sure I knew what to expect and what the next steps looked like. Having to go through all of this during Covid was especially stressful as there were a lot of unknowns into the mix on top of having to deal with a hearing. Charlie went above and beyond to put some of this burden on him. He even called the DMV to get answers, which is no easy task. All in all although I hope to never have to hire counsel in this type of situation again, if I had too, I know that I would reach out to Charlie to help me. He was more than fair, understanding, and above all compassionate and sensitive to my feelings and the nature of my case. Thank you for making a very hard part in my life a bit easier.

I want to personally thank Charles and the whole team at Clifton Black. Before my case, I consulted many attorney offices and Charles was the only one that I felt didn't treat me like I was already guilty and fighting to save face. Throughout the process, he was always positive and fighting the clear my name. He was open with communication and always kept me informed of all my decisions and how he was going defend me. It has been a wonderful experience and I'm happy with the outcome.

Cliff is highly professional, courteous, and by far the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever spoken with in regard to MMJ as it relates to property management. This guy knows his stuff and comes with my absolute highest recommendation.

Charles did an awesome job explaining everything to us. I am very thankful that he was able to help with my case. I am very satisfied with the outcome. Thanks again Charles

I hired Charles for an expungement case. He listened, collected all necessary information, and actually familiarized himself with it so that he could get the best possible result for me in court. Its not often you find an attorney that listens to you. This guy is great!

I called the law office on April 16th concerning my case and right from the start they jumped on my case. Charlie and Jennifer were always so patient and answered all of my questions accordingly!

Hired Charles Allen for criminal defense for a traffic misdemeanor. My case outcome was excellent; thank you for your hard work! I could immediately tell that Charles Allen is a more compassionate person than the other lawyers I tried to hire. Being charged with a crime is a scary proposition... but Chuck always treated me with respect, patiently addressed all concerns, and kept me informed of all strategies and legal proceedings. Other lawyers I consulted by phone were brusque and somewhat impatient to have me pay a retainer, but Chuck took his time and even met with me in person before securing any agreement or payment. I had no idea how to pick a lawyer other than how nice people were to me. In retrospect, I suppose that somebody with extensive experience as a public defender would be more soothing to work with than somebody with a bunch of accolades next to their name on the martindale listing. Customer service within the Clifton Black office was excellent. The paralegal and secretarial staff were always available. Charles successfully had my case dismissed during pretrial conferences -- therefore I cannot speak to his ability at trial. In the future, I will recommend Chuck for at least a consultation but with the disclaimer that I didn't actually see him perform at trial.

I didn't know where to turn when I need help. I called the office and I was able to get in to see Mr. Allen within the hour. I am so gratefully that Mr. Allen took my case. I was worrying about being judged and Mr. Allen never judged me. Anytime I had a question I would email/call and he would answer right away. During my whole process Charles made me feel comfortable and I never had any doubts with whom I chose to represent me. I hope I won't need his services again, but if I do I would choose Charles Allen! Thank you Charles for never judging me and being in my corner from day one.

I have known attorney Cliff Black for many years. He is an excellent attorney. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy and personable. I refer clients to him on a regular basis with the utmost confidence.

Clifton Black is an excellent Attorney with many years of experience to get the best result for his clients. He is passionate, respectful, and provides his clients with the personal attention needed during a difficult time. I highly recommend his office for your legal needs.

Mr. Black whom I have known for many years assisted me with the sale of my parents townhome. I live out of state and they were experiencing extreme difficulties with the home owners association and damage to the outside of the unit that was the HOAs responsibility. I reached out to Mr. Black, who, although on vacation drafted and submitted a letter to the HOA. The response was immediate and the issue resolved. Mr. Black followed up with me a day or two later to ensure everything was taken care of. Excellent response from an attorney and a great friend.

Cliff and his staff are just amazing!! They are great people and will do whatever they can to succeed in your case. They went above and beyond to help me in my case.

I hired Charles to help me fight my Traffic stop/DWI. I found out about him from a family friend who recommended him that helped her get off with quite a few charges. It was a process to go through, at first I was offered a plea deal that wasn’t anything close to what we wanted. Charles did a good job and submitted my medical card to the DA, and at the end of all of it I walked away with nothing on my record, and able to seal my case.

Sheila helped me out a great deal with my case and was able to get my case dismissed entirely and I am very grateful of this!

Late on the evening of Aug. 13, 2019, I contacted the Clifton Black (CB) office and left a message about 6 p.m. Earlier in the day I had visited my grandson in the Colorado Springs, CO, Criminal Justice Center (CJC), i.e., 19 year old Henry Hotchkiss was in jail. Just before I called the law offices that evening, my grandson, Henry, had called me from CJC. He was depressed and certain he was going to be sentenced to at least 8 years in prison. He was resigned to his fate and I heard an implied "suicide" in his voice. I was devastated and overwhelmed with fear. I began searching the phone book for attorneys. I left a message with CB around 6 p.m. Jennifer, CB's Office Manager, returned my call about 8 p.m. relaying she had heard the desperation in my voice and thought she had better contact me immediately. I was stunned at such a rapid and honestly caring response to our family's crisis. I totally broke down and tried to tell our story as chronologically as possible. While I was talking to Jennifer, she was texting Charles Allen. Before we closed our call: 1) Charles had agreed to be a CJC at 9:00 a.m. on Aug. 14; and 2) I had an appointment with Charles at about 11:00 a.m. on Aug. 14. Charles and Jennifer delivered on everything I had been told/assured of during our first phone contact and all subsequent consultations. We hired Charles on Aug 14 and have had very few anxious moments since. Over the ensuing weeks, all of the office staff at CB, and especially Jennifer and Charles, were amazingly adaptable to our needs and situation. They were professional and yet there were repeated things I saw and words I heard that indicated they, and their law firm, empathized and really understood the desperate position in which our family had found ourselves. Charles offered hope without overstating any of the potential results. Henry had been charged with at least 4 felonies, including guns and drug possession, on top of having violated his in progress DUI probation. On Oct. 29, at the second plea hearing, Henry accepted a plea of MVT and 2 years of probation served concurrently with his on-going DUI probation. Relief hardly describes the continuing elation of our entire family. Having a brief history inside law enforcement myself, I dared not even hope for no jail time for Henry. At my first consultation, Charles assured me of the potential outcome that has come about. I left his office not daring to believe it on Aug. 14. However, trusting in all that I had seen and then experienced from the CB offices and Charles specifically, I held onto that hope. Thank you is an incredibly brief phrase for all that we have received from both Clifton Black Law Offices and Charles Allen. We will not hesitate to recommend both Clifton Black Law Offices and Charles Allen specifically in the future.

Cliff has been there for me every step of the way and is a man to Trust for advice when it comes to business decisions and legal advice on any subject.

Charles was straight to the point from the beginning and seemed very knowledgeable. Even though I live out of state he was able to represent me without my presence. In the end he helped get my case dismissed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Charles.
