Best in Denver

Kevin & CGH (Cheney Galluzzi & Howard) the best and easiest to work with! They are a young new firm and we were referred to by a different layer due to this one was a CAR ACCIDENT which let me tell you all know they are terrible but Kevin always asked my wife and I if we were ok each time we talked...! They have a strong passion for the law and doing what’s right. Kevin took my wife and I car accident case right away which was already been in the works by my wife for 3 months! Kevin played hard ball for four days on line and on the phone with both insurance companies and we won! I don’t know anything about law Kevin explained every step of the process and was very up front and kept it simple the whole way through! I would highly recommend them to any one in need of even a question to this day he will respond to my wife’s emails! Thanks Jon and Leigh

Civil Statup Case

If you’re hesitant about using Kevin & CGH (Cheney Galluzzi & Howard) don’t be at all. You might think they are a young new firm but I assure you they are far from it as they are nothing short of “Bull Dogs” in the court room. They have a strong passion for the law and doing what’s right. Kevin took ...my civil case against a startup company I work for where I got cut out of the project. I thought I had rights to my work and Kevin confirmed that. I was the little dog in a big fight as Kevin took on one of the largest firms in Denver, one that takes multimillion dollar cases, and a startup owner with very deep pockets. Kevin played hard ball for four days in the court room and in the end we won. I don’t know anything about law and had never filed a lawsuit, never thought I would ever have to. Kevin explained every step of the process and was very up front. Kevin & CGH conveyed confidence as a team the moment I walked through the door. Kevin did an amazing job of prepping me for me deposition, direct and cross examination, trained me on iterating key points and phrases, as well on how to work through the evidence when I was on the stand. We practiced several times to insure I was fully prepared for trial. Kevin pushed me as a client to know and understands everything leading up to trail so that I can be the best witness in my own case. This is only because they are that passionate about the law. I would highly recommend them to anyone. If you believe your fight might end up in a court room this is the team you want on your side. Regardless your reasons for looking for a lawyer give CGH a call and talk with them, hear what they have to say about your issue.

Solved our Landlord security deposit dispute

Kevin was excellent in handling our case with our previous landlord. Our original security deposit was $1700 and when we decided to move out she tried to only give us back $192 from that original deposit. She was using this money for regular wear and tear in the house and didn't have any evidence to ...back up her claims that we "damaged her house and forced her into expensive repairs." We sent her a demand letter for $1200 letting her know that if she did not comply then we would be taking her to court. After a couple weeks she eventually caved in and paid us back the money we deserved. Kevin did a great job throughout the whole process and was very thorough with us and our previous landlord. I would highly recommend him for any legal issues you may run into.

Highly Recommend!

I reached out to Kevin after having some problems with my insurance company, and he was able to resolve the issue for me quickly. Kevin was always very responsive to my emails, kept me continuously updated on any changes with my case, and provided great advice with any questions I had. He is also ...a fantastic advocate! Thanks to his help, we were able to get the attention my case needed from the insurance company so that I could move on with my life!

Excellent!

Kevin recently defended me in a dui case that ended up going to trial. Throughout the entire process Kevin was professional and on top of every aspect involving the case. In the end, I was found not guilty of all charges and Kevin was able to prove my innocence. I would strongly recommend the CGH ...Lawfirm to anyone who is in need of an Attorney. The dedication and pursuit they put forward is not easy to find. I'm personally grateful for their help.
