I was a Broadway performer, injured on the ski slopes of Aspen while on vacation -- one day seemingly on top of the world, the next day without a leg to stand on. With a limb and career in tatters, Jim Chalat (and his wife Linda and their firm) gave me a powerful legal leg to stand on and so very muc...h more. From the first moment we connected, they handled my long-distance case with skill, passion, compassion, acute understanding of the law, flawless attention to detail, and a manner that was both personal yet impeccably professional. The positive outcome my case (which went to trial) received can be directly attributed to their hard work, foresight, perseverance, and great skill. Jim is a leader, a talented one, not just of an excellent law firm, or in a courtroom handling a case, but he is a leader in his field. Tested through time, Jim Chalat is outstanding in every way and I recommend him without reservation.

Jim Chalat represented me in a personal injury case that was settled with an insurance company in 2009. I found Jim to be knowledgable about the case law involved in my case and he understood the specifics of my situation very well. I liked that he made a point of coming to meet my family and I in ...person (we live in North Carolina and he is based in Colorado).

I can wholeheartedly recommend Jim Chalet and the firm of CHALAT HATTEN & KOUPAL PC. I live in Michigan, but was injured in a ski accident while on vacation in Colorado. In addition to the fact that I was from out of state, there were several complex and challenging issues in the case. Jim naviga...ted each with knowledge, compassion and professionalism and brought a complete sense of calm and reassurance to what was an otherwise very stressful situation. I never doubted for one moment that I had engaged the most capable attorney available and this impression was only strengthened as Jim not only resolved my case, but significantly exceeded my expectations in doing so. This guy is good.

Jim Chalat and his colleagues represented me in a injury suit filed in Federal court in 2007 and settled in 2009. He was diligent, tenacious, and consistently exhibited genuine concern for obtaining justice for his client. He maintained high ethical standards throughout, even in the face of despi...cable skullduggery conducted by the opposing counsel. I felt confident in Jim's representation during the entire prolonged process...he proved himself to be terrific counsel and an attorney I would strongly recommend.

Jim was prompt in getting back to me when I first called and met with me shortly thereafter. He was extremely professional, thorough and knowledgeable as well as compassionate. His experience and expertise in the area of ski injury liability was very evident. He always was extremely clear in... keeping me abreast and explaining my options as the lawsuit progressed. My emails and phone calls with my concerns were always responded to quickly by either him or his associate. He obtained an excellent settlement for the circumstances that were involved. He followed up on the minor issues as well. I recommend him enthusiastically without any reservations.
