Carrie Johnson provided exceptional representation for our company during a high-stakes securities-related dispute. Her 16 years of experience, particularly her recognized expertise in commercial and securities litigation, were immediately apparent. She adeptly navigated the pre-litigation phase, employing a strategic and collaborative approach that was focused on solving the core problem, not just fighting. Her background in complex commercial matters and her ability to handle interactions with regulatory elements were invaluable. The outcome was highly favorable and saved us significant resources. While her billing structure at Brownstein Hyatt is commensurate with her top-tier skill, clearer upfront estimates on certain phases would have been helpful. I would confidently recommend Carrie for any serious commercial litigation in Denver.
