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

Slip and Fall

If you want someone tough enough to go the distance, this is your lawyer. Mike took the time to listen , to really understand my circumstances. I've never been a "sue" person and thought workman's comp would take care of everything but that's not enough, you have to bring Mike to the fight. Sound...s cheesy yes but it's true! There's no way to understand what's all involved down the road and behind the lines, when you are dealing with the fall out of missing work, navigating doctors appointments, surgeries, therapy, bills and insurance claims . Who's going to talk to the property owner's and their insurance company? Not all of it is workman's comp, You want this guy, Mike. He's honest with a tough love approach. I needed someone like a big brother to step up for me because I'm to nice and didn't want to sue. I would have been stuck, broke trying to pay and suffering in silence. Lastly, if you are in a workman's comp and have lawyers already you can bring Mike in on as council to cover the part they don't tell you about, at the very least just call him, he'll tell you if it's necessary or what you're missing. Get well soon, it's gonna be okay , call Mike. Sincerely Christina B.

Exceptional

I was referred to Mike Fosseneir by other attorney's that weren't sure they could handle my injury case. First, Attorney Mike Fossenier is the definition of integrity, experience and professionalism. Throughout the time he spent on my case, he kept me well informed of everything occurring in my ...case and always attempted to keep my cost portion very low. He knows the law, rules and regulations, extremely well. Whenever the other side (insurance companies) tried to make false claims or invent their own rules, Mike immediately called them to task on their inappropiateness and never, ever let them try to intimidate me during any meetings, making a stressful situation, tolerable. I cant thank Attorney Mike Fossenier, enough for the end results and for the excellent manner in which my case was handled. I will always refer others to him when others are seeking justice!

Michael let me know it wasn't a big case, but it was a valid case.

Michael was recommended by a family member and I knew within a few minutes of our consultation that he was adept and tenacious. He took me through the entire process with professional care and trust. Michael is a skilled communicator and by phone or in meetings I was up-to-date with each step. I n...ever went into a meeting or appointment unprepared. I knew going in that the case wasn't a big case, but both he and I wanted an equitable amount for my injury. His honesty and experience kept me centered in probability the entire time. I can't wait to recommend him to someone I know. This is an attorney with tenacity, compassion and a big heart.

Posted by Jared | June 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

The only lawyer I'd always recommend

I ended up in court after a speeding ticket that was absolutely outrageous. The fine was going to be much more than I could have afforded at the time, and I was very worried about my case. I hired Mr. Fossenier who frankly, did his job 10 fold. I had consulted with other lawyers prior to him, yet I c...hose him because he thought outside of the box. One thing he recommended that I do, was take a traffic course before my court date to show the judge my commitment to becoming a better driver. Not only did he recommend that course, but he also checked in with me week by week updating me with what he knew and to just check up on my progress. There were, several times, moments when I had a question about particulars in the case that I had to call for answers, and he almost always answered my phone calls. When he couldn't or was busy, the calls were returned within hours, not weeks. He was so professional and courteous, that I again consulted him when dealing with a lawsuit I was drawing up against a former roommate of mine, and gave me all the advice I needed to not only solve the case, but prevent it from even having to go to court. Michael is hands down the best lawyer with the most integrity that I have ever met, and since he's represented me I have recommended him to several friends who needed help. If you're expectations for your lawyer are for an honest, intelligent, genuinely kind and caring gentleman, look no further.
