I hired James Ahern to represent me in a misdemeanor criminal defense matter in early 2013. His previous experience as a deputy district attorney was invaluable to me as he shredded the prosecution's case during the hearing. Case dismissed! James was knowledgeable, quick, passionate and very articulate in my defense during our legal proceedings. I felt James genuinely cared about me and a positive outcome. His performance and professionalism far exceeded my expectations. I enthusiastically recommend James Ahern for those in need of an effective criminal defense attorney. Thank you so much James! I can finally get on with my life.

It was the toughest moment of my life. My family, liberty, and employment were all at risk. The stakes were incredibly high, and I needed the best possible representation. I had serious charges and needed someone who knew the system and how to express the truth. As a former prosecutor James is uniquely equipped with an insider’s knowledge and understanding of how the system works. He knows the DAs. He works hard and he knows how to press forward - in the toughest circumstances - to achieve the best possible result. He's ethical, confident, brilliant and rock solid on every front as an attorney. My life has been forever changed for the better because of his representation, which resulted in a full dismissal of all charges. I cannot recommend James enough. If you're in a place where you feel like you have no hope, give James a call. Not to be overly dramatic, but It may very well save your life.

James Ahern is an excellent attorney who will provide great advice and represent you in your situation to the best of his ability. My experience working with Mr. Ahern was superb, from the onset of the issue to the resolution being the judgment dismissed and court records sealed. I sincerely recommend his skill and knowledge of the court system and his dedication to his clients as a criminal attorney.

James is an extremely experienced, motivated and aggressive Attorney. James also has a deep connection to the area and knows many people In The legal system in the Denver and surrounding areas. My case had an extremely good outcome and ultimately will be dismissed. Choosing an Attorney comes at a very stressful time, a time when many things are not going so well, I certainly am glad I let James help me after I made a poor choice, I highly recommend his service.

Hired James for a serious issue that had many pieces to it and he was able to get through this complicated case in which he was able to get us a favorable outcome. James is not afraid to take a case to trial if he has to and won't just try and plea the case down. He is thorough, professional and ALWAYS responds in a timely manner. He spends the time to go over each and every aspect of the case and answered every one of my many questions in detail. He has several strategies in mind depending on which direction the case will go. A true warrior and goes beyond what is expected and his expediency with paperwork and filing of motions is superb. If you want counsel that is at the top of his game look no further. I find James to be honest, ethical and very well prepared.

James was Extremely helpful and I felt he took the extra time with me to make sure I had all the information I needed and I was fully informed of my situation. I never felt rushed to end a conversation or left wondering about anything. My case was a particuarly odd one with many things being odd from the D.A. But He got me through it with flying colors and a very favorable outcome. I would reccomend him, and no offense, I hope I never need him again.

I would like to share my great amazing experience with Susan Fuller & Associates, P.C. law firm. We had involved in Juvenile incident and got charged with 2 minor crimes. We never got involved in or interfered with law and justice system so we as a parents kind of scared, confused and don't know how to proceed with mandatory summons in hand. We are not familiar with any law firms or don't know how to move proceed to engage a good lawyer to defend our case. We researched a lot and picked up Mr.James Ahern who works for Susan and Fuller Associates law firm in parker Colorado. He explained very clear step by step legal processes how to move forward. He gave us full confidence and assurance to defend this case with best of his experience. I felt like my fear is 75% gone after talking with him couple of times. He never said we are going to win the case during the entire process but only assured how best we can fight. I really appreicate his great personality for not giving any false hopes upfront. we got twice a pleaded guilty offers but we rejected and went for a trial as we are confident that we didn't do any crime and were looking for Justice. Mr. James really defended us in the court trial and proved us not guilty. His defending skills for his clients with proofs & cross-questioning in the court hall really highly impressive. I never imagined him as this powerful. Mr. James Ahern is such a great gentleman who is highly professional and friendly and on top of that he is very expert and completely dedicated in his work. Also I don't want to forget to mention that he is a good human being who understands client's feelings and emotions. It's not at all easy to defend this case as so many things and persons involved in this. Personally I don't think any great lawyers in Denver who could have saved us other than Mr. James Ahern. Hats off to you my man!! I wholeheartedly recommend to all to use his/his Firm services whenever necessary and I am confident that he never break your trust. I hope this review will help for some people who are in need.
