I represent many people hurt by negligent drivers. Many insurance companies refuse to adequately compensate hurt people without a lawsuit. Other insurance companies won't pay claims until they are forced to do so by a jury.

Best Lawyer Ever!

I've hired several lawyers in my life, but Chris Gilbert is BY FAR the best. He's honest, hard-working, compassionate, and very smart. He's funny too. He even let me call him his high school nickname Dilbert.

Invested in a possitive outcome

Chris was excellent at reviewing the potential questions that may have come up in disposition. He had a lot of foresight about my personal injury case that I would never have thought about without his incredible attention to detail. Most importantly, he listens and thoughtfully responds to questions ...and concerns. I recommend him as a very diligent lawyer with a high degree of integrity for his clients' interests.

trustworthy and hard working

Chris Gilbert made my experience with a medical malpractice lawsuit very tolerable. He was thorough and very good at explaining the procedure. I could not have gotten through it without his compassion for my case. I highly recommend Christopher K. Gilbert!

"I highly recommend and endorse Attorney Chris Gilbert. I met Chris over a year ago at a month long advanced training session at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College. It was clear to see in our trial skills workshops that Chris has natural talent to handle tough cases and he is a strong advocate for his clients in and out of the Court room. Chris is able to tackle any legal matter with dedication and passion for justice."

"Chris is one of the pleasant surprises of my life as a lawyer. I met Chris at the Trial Lawyers College in Dubois, Wyoming. I do not doubt that before he was a hard nosed Devil Dog advocate for his clients. Now he has the training to become and I have watched as he has become a lawyer who deeply cares for his clients. I would not hesitate to place the fate of my children or my grandchild in his hands were they injured in Colorado. I cannot imagine a more deeper trust than that, if i can trust him you certainly can."

"Chris Gilbert is an exceptionally talented criminal defense lawyer. I have seen his depth of passion for defense manifest as superb trial skills at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College.Chris previously was a military defense lawyer for many years, known affectionately (and correctly) to us as the Colonel. Anyone knowledgeable knows that military defense lawyers are of the highest caliber-- a few good men indeed. A sense of justice is at Chris' core. Anyone seeking a dedicated and fierce defense lawyer would do well to utilize his representational skills."
