Personal Injury 90%

I am the former senior trial attorney for Allstate Insurance Company's Rocky Mtn Region. I tried 30 jury trials for them and lost only 3 in verdicts either for defendant or for plaintiff but less than our last offer. I use that experience now to benefit personal injury plaintiffs in many areas, including auto accidents, falls, animal attacks, and other causal incidents

Mrs. Brown

I worked with Mike for about 2 years on an auto accident case. We were hoping to settle initially but had to file and set up for a court trial. 2 weeks before the court date Mike and another lawyer were able to negotiate a 6 figure outcome in my favor that all of us could agree upon. Mike is ver...y caring and thorough. Trials are not always easy, but Mike has a way of keeping the peace, and dealing with all the emotions that come up, in a very caring and professional manner. i would recommend Mike anytime and anyone would be smart to choose him as their lawyer. Mike is great at communication and keeping everyone moving forward for what is needed. He was available even outside of normal hours, on occasions when talking to him immediately was needed. He stayed strong when emotions would get heated and was able to explain all that he was doing and how it would effect the lawsuit. Mike took his time to get to know me and my family so that he knew what we were about and handled us like we needed instead of the same as anyone else. His approach to the lawsuit was in line with what we as a family were needing and he made the time dealing with this lawsuit not so terrible. We will miss him though we are glad that we are done with our lawsuit and can move forward with our futures.

Ms.

Mike is a real go getter. He accomplishef in three months what had not been done in three years. He kept me up to date on his progress and was honest with me about what to expect. His no nonsense approach is what I needed to cut through and have a better understanding of how the legal system and insu...rance companies work. I wish I had known him from the beginning of my case. He was able to get the maxium award for my injuries which I did not think was possible. I highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking compensation for injuries.

Second to None

Mike helped with a case that really should have been "open and shut" but...it is never that easy. However, through his undying perseverance, he was able to finalize the case with a positive outcome. Thanks, Mike!

Michael is a Bull Dog with a heart

Michael stepped in to help me with a very difficult personal injury case. He is a kind and respectful person. I immediately felt comfortable with him. But let me say this, if you ever need a "Bull Dog" at the negotiating table, he is your man! His many years of experience with Insurance Companies fin...ally got me a settlement after more than a three year battle. If you ever need someone to help you, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Tamara in Erie, CO

He is the best

Michael is an amazing guy. He will work his ass off for you. The best thing about this guy is he “cares” about you. Michael, thank you for everything you did for me.
