Attorney Review

Bill is a very intelligent person and the type of person you want playing for your team. He approaches every situation with caution and advises the best solutions with years of experience. I was in a bad situation which could have been worse but Bill worked hard to make sure we didn’t get the far end... of the stick.

Posted by Josh | September 05, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great advocate on insurance issues!

Bill did a great job advocating for us, and we ended up getting a full payout on our claim. I definitely recommend him!

A "bulldog" in the best sense of the word

I would have faced a severely depleted financial retirement future had it not been for Mr. Denver's patient persistence in pursuit of Insurance coverage related to the excavation and remediation required as a result of oil seepage from an abandoned oil tank discovered in the process of my selling the... house in which I had lived for 40 years, The soil contamination was found to be deep and close to the house foundation, requiring multiple installations of steel foundation supports. With the cost of the remediation building close to 6 figures, and the Insurance Company I had for over 40 years denying my initial Homeowners policy claim, I had the good fortune to have a friend recommend retaining Dr. Denver at the Denver Law Firm. Mr. Denver studied survey maps, engineer's and soil boring reports, and voluminous material and documents related to the Environment Company's work. He worked with me to gather as much documentation as I could find related to past insurance policies even though in the anticipation of moving, I had shredded ancient records. He pursued the Insurance Company to conduct a policy search, established sufficient proof of coverage going back many years, and through negotiations and persistence, and without litigation which could have taken years, successfully obtained for me a significant contribution from the Insurance company toward the cost of the remediation. Mr. Denver was thorough, professional, encouraging and supportive, and I would highly recommend his company and services without reservation.

Thank you for your review. Underground storage tank situations can be feel overwhelming at first but I was very glad to help you find the insurance coverage, get the property cleaned up and enable you to the sell the home.

Bill worked beyond the call of duty to pursue my medical insurance co. in doing their duty.

Bill worked well beyond the call of duty to pursue my medical insurance co, who simply needed to perform their obligation of approving a medication, even rejecting it. was fine to expedite the process, and Bill got them to do that through his tireless work. Nobody else was able to do that. He got me ...my meds and thus kept me alive.

I was my sincere pleasure and honor to help get the medical treatment that was so deserved.

Highly Recommended!

We were faced with two legal disputes with contractors who did very shoddy work at our home and refused to fix their mistakes. Mr. Denver filed one lawsuit in Ocean County Special Civil Part and another in Monmouth County Superior Court, Law Division. He was able to successfully resolve both matters ...extremely quickly, without protracted litigation, and obtained a settlement which allowed us to fix the shoddy work. Mr. Denver is not only knowledgeable about the relevant laws concerning our cases, he has a tremendous depth of experience and is an outstanding negotiator and litigator, which was clearly reflected in his dealings with the plaintiffs. He is also a brilliant strategist and tactician, a superb communicator and a sincere and caring advocate. He has a nearly photographic memory and pays attention to details. Mr. Denver had tremendous patience with us throughout the entire litigation process, keeping us up-to-date constantly as the cases progressed and explaining complex legal issues in a way we could understand and make informed decisions. We spent a great deal of time searching and evaluating attorneys that could help us, and we are ecstatic and pleased with our choice and outcome. Unequivocally, you cannot get a better, more professional, first-rate attorney than Mr. Denver, and we wholeheartedly recommend him.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Denver as colleagues in both the public and private sectors for many years. He consistently impressed me with his client-focused approach to the law, intellect and impressive litigation skills. Further, his broad expertise in a number of substantive areas, including civil and criminal litigation and insurance coverage, is a rarity these days as most attorneys specialize in only one or two areas.
