Customer Testimonials: 1. Francis took recent case for me and great to work with !!2. Francis Kailey, JD (2025) I recently used Francis to see me through the complicated and stressful legal process of a residential eviction. Francis represented me extremely well, all the way through trial, and we deservedly won the case. He's highly experienced in eviction cases, and he was very well educated on the ever changing Colorado law regarding evictions. For any landlord who feels it's time to hire an attorney to represent them in a landlord / tenant dispute, Francis is strong in this area of the law and I highly recommend.3. All the reviews on here about Francis are true. He helped me evict some tenants the legal way. The process only took about a month, and he kept us from making the wrong steps that could have resulted in a lawsuit to me.

We are grateful for his professionalism, knowledge and expertise.5. In regards to Francis Kailey I have the highest respect for Mr. Kailey and his ability to resolve problems applying laws to the facts. A dangerous tenant can be very threatening. Mr. Kailey resolved the many problems before and after they occurred in a manner that was easily understood by a layperson, but not at all condescending as he explained all to me. I have such confidence in his legal expertise and chair-side manner. Mr. Kailey understood my problem and was empathetic. I highly recommend him.6. The person who referred your law firm to us said you would be our lifesaver and he was right. Francis was fantastic to work with and he helped us with a very difficult tenant situation. He was calm, compassionate and best of all knew the law and how to handle the situation. Just speaking with him made me feel better. He was able to get everything resolved in 2 days, I can't thank him enough. He took the stress away from me and I'm so happy with the outcome. I hope I never have to deal with anything like this again, but I would definitely have Francis help me if I needed advice or someone to guide me through the process. 7. Very professional and friendly. 8. We are giving Francis Kailey a FIVE STAR REVIEW! We have never had to deal with an eviction and had no knowledge about how to proceed. The situation involved an ex-employee that would not get out of the employee provided housing. Mr. Kailey has much expertise in this arena. He was very calming, very knowledgable and acted very quickly on our behalf. He took all the fear out of the situation for us. We really appreciate him so much!9. I had the pleasure of working with Kent Naughton of this law firm. I was appointed guardian and he was appointed conservator for an elderly man. The attention to detail, availability and access to them whenever I needed set me at ease. They walked me through a very challenging situation and helped me all along the way. I would highly recommend this law firm and especially Kent Naughton for any legal issue you might need help with!10. Francis Kailey, 2025 helped us with a tenant issue and had the problem resolved in less than two days. He was on top of the situation and communicated thoroughly with both myself and the tenant. 11. The lawyer I spoke to has no people skills.12. While this law group was not able to assist with my case, Francis Kailey went above and beyond to thoroughly research the details of our incident and make helpful recommendations of potential laws violated and other attorneys who specialize in what we need. He helped me when he didn't have to, and I am incredibly grateful for the time he gave freely to help a stranger.13. Patrick Groom is really great to work with!14. Excellent15. Okay, so now for the rest of the review. Kent Naughton represented our HOA in a lawsuit filed against us in March, 2015. On our behalf, Kent countersued: as the HOA; we did not believe we were guilty as implicated. HOAs are not the typical client, and Kent worked primarily with the HOA Board, but represented over 100 owners with many different personalities and expectations. Kent also had to deal with Board turnover due to HOA bylaws. He was astute in maneuvering through the many challenges this presented. The litigation that ensued was complicated as multiple entities were involved. Resolution was reached in May of 2018. Kent was protective of our interests throughout litigation. Among his many attributes, those we appreciated the most were that he listened and was always accessible. He sought out resources and experts effectively collaborating with many others to support our position. He intentionally paid attention to our financial situation as a non-profit organization. He methodically researched a trail of evidence that crossed state lines. Kent consistently provided guidance and advised us through the many legal tangles we encountered. He was not deterred when the opposition employed endless delay tactics. Kent was creative and insightful in mediation, presenting arguments that were difficult to refute and ultimately helped us to reach a settlement amenable to all litigants. We hold Kent in high regard and would recommend him without reservation to others who are facing complex and demanding legal issues.
