Kurt Michael Zaner

As a former litigation attorney, public defender, senior prosecuting attorney and judicial officer, I knew, when I heard that half of our friend’s family of four was killed by a drugged, drunk driver, that they needed the best counsel in Colorado. I called friends in another state and we were referre...d to Kurt Zaner. When he agreed to take the case, I had no idea what a difference he would make in the surviving mother and daughter’s recovery. Kurt cared for this family when they could not care for themselves. He knew that they were left both physically and emotionally devastated; he responded with grace, sensitivity and a profound understanding of their wounds. Justice is not always possible in the law, but our friends found a mercy and compassion at Zaner Harden Law that they needed more than any lawsuit. Kurt, Courtney and Monica didn’t just fight for our friends in their legal case; they understood that their clients needed hope when there was no hope to be had. Throughout both the personal injury and criminal proceedings, Kurt recognized that he wasn’t just their legal advocate but their counselor-at-law. I am still amazed at Zaner Harden’s ability to gain a favorable settlement despite legal odds I would have said were insurmountable. But even more, I was deeply touched at how the entire firm supported this family. Kurt is a smart, strategic and humane man in a profession that challenges us to remain compassionate. He leads from the front; his character and ethical compass set the standard for everyone at the firm. His staff are the epitome of professionalism, and show a warm, genuine and authentic courtesy to all. When I think of the qualities I most respect in the law and the pursuit of justice and its practitioners, Kurt’s face is the first that comes to my mind. His is the only name in Colorado I would call if I needed the best at the worst of times. Heart, soul and energetic intellect combined in one powerfully gifted attorney doing justice the way it was meant to be done. .

I am a very picky individual and hiring Kurt Zaner to represent me after my accident was the best decision I could have made. From the start Kurt had my best interest at hand. Kurt treated me as the way he would want to be treated. I highly respect Kurt Zaner and truly thankful for having him as my l...awyer.

I was in an accident that left my car totaled, me with a head injury and a neck injury. Kurt Zaner and his team helped me every step of the way so I could get the help and treatment needed. I was always treated with kindness, compassion and respect. That all is important, but what it comes down to, ...is results at the end of the case. Kurt Zaner will fight for accident victims and is not afraid to take the case to trial. Insurance companies know that he is not intimidated. This is so important because you do NOT want someone who will just settle because it is easier. I am more than satisfied with the settlement they got for me and give my 100% recommendation. He not only truly enjoys his job, he is good at it. Money will not heal the injuries, but it is the only thing that can be awarded to help.

Last year I was seriously injured my a motorist while I was riding my bicycle. After getting the run around by all insurance companies involved, I knew I had to get a specialist working for me. A friend who had a similar accident referred me to Kurt Zaner. The friend had previously been represente...d by a big advertising firm and found they were unresponsive, and he had a much better experience with Kurt. We choose Kurt right away after noticing the difference in attention between talking with him and a representative from another big advertiser. Kurt and his team were a joy to work with, letting me concentrate on the difficulties of my recovery instead of the case, yet keeping me fully informed of all developments. They prepared an extensive demand letter detailing all my injuries and their long term effects and all costs incurred and expected. The letter was so persuasive that the insurance companies settled for the full policy funds without us having to file a suit! The treatment from Kurt and his team, not to mention their results, has been one of the bright spots in a very trying time.

First, let me say that I have never had an injury where I was required to hire an attorney. Having been hit by a truck while riding my bicycle I required legal representation. After interviewing many different attorneys, I chose Zaner Harden Law. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of all Mr.... Kurt Zaner and his staff have done for us. His high level of skill, knowledge, and professionalism has made this journey a relatively painless process. He or his paralegal, Jenny, were in constant contact with me keeping me up to date on all that was transpiring as we moved through the process. Kurt’s exceedingly high level of abilities made it seem almost effortless in how he presented my case so well. His actions left the opposing insurance company with virtually no option but to accept our demand for payment of their maximum limit of coverage. This was accomplished without having to go to trial. I am an airline pilot. In my profession, when someone would say an individual operates an aircraft so well that he is a “natural”, the truth is that there are no naturals, only individuals who work very hard at being the best at what they do. I believe this is a perfect analogy for Kurt along with the other attorneys and staff at his firm. Thanks to all at Zaner Harden Law firm and especially to Kurt for his skill and leadership.
