Car accident help

Kevin Cheney represented me in a car crash case. He was professional, yet personable, and really easy to work with. He gave me encouragement and security when I needed it. He was honest and worked very hard to fight on my behalf. The best part was a very favorable result! Thank you to all ...the team at Cheney, Galluzzi, and Howard! And a very appreciative thanks to Kevin.

A Class Act Gentleman, A Brilliant Legal Expert & Technical Strategist

WOW, Kevin Cheney? My wife Peggi and I own a 38-foot Fleetwood Motorhome and on occasions would rent it out through RV Share. It seemed to be a tremendous third income to both our regular revenues. However, in January 2019, a renter lost a massive lower compartment door when driving down the road. Ne...xt, he drove it under the 10 ft 8" Graffiti Bridge in Pensacola, Florida. He totaled everything on the roof, including the roof itself. The renter also sat the hydraulic leveling jacks down on top of a curb and bent a left rear leveling jack. The renter is an American Airline pilot and had a good driving record according to RV Share. Renters are required by law to purchase an independent insurance policy, which with RV Share they exclusively use National General Insurance. The total estimate for repairs was over $25,000. However, National General had me send them countless photos where their adjuster insisted the payout would be $4,500 and refused to repair our Motorhome. I called Kevin Cheney's office to see if he would represent us to help us get our RV repaired. Kevin set up an appointment for me, and I don't remember ever meeting a more kind, compassion, or knowledgeable gentleman than Kevin. After looking at the two-party marked and signed departure and return inspection docs and the photos, Kevin explained the Colorado laws and took our case. National General Insurance fought him and us for months during a time when my health was weak, and I couldn't work. Kevin Cheney proved to be a class act gentleman in every respect. He fought for us patiently and professionally and did all within his power to settle our case civilly. He gave National General ample opportunity to repair our destroyed Motorhome. Howbeit, when it became evident to Kevin that they were not acting in good faith and they had no intentions of honoring their legal and binding commitment, WOW! There was no more settling and no more delays. Kevin Cheney is the kindness, most compassionate legal Pitbull I've ever seen, and our check was in our hands the next day. Kevin Cheney is a brilliant lawyer and an expert strategist who knows Colorado law inside and out. He represented us with class and dignity and what we hoped to get when we asked for his help, he delivered well above and far beyond. A five-star rating, even a ten star, or a hundred wouldn't justify the magnificent job Keven Cheney did in our time of need. Kevin, Peg and I love you, are so grateful for you, and for lack of better words, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK. YOU! Ellis & Peggi Lucas

Great experience over three years

Kevin was my attorney for three years for a personal injury case from a car accident I was in, which eventually settled. I had a great experience working with him. He was patient, explaining every step of the process to me and allowing me to ask as many clarifying questions as I had. Kevin was very r...esponsive to emails, phone calls and text messages, so it was easy to get information from him quickly. He made it easy for me to do the work I needed to do in the case, and was always cheerful and supportive.

Fraud case involving home purchase.

I am writing this review because I believe in giving credit to people who do their job well. I had a fraud case involving a home purchase. I chose Kevin Cheney to handle my case. Kevin was a, "extra mile" type of attorney from start to finish. He drove all the way from Denver to my Greeley home to vi...ew my situation first hand. He was exceptional at taking in all the information I provided him with, remembering even the smallest of details of that information, and then articulating that information accurately and effectively. He's smart, quick on his feet, and a great communicator. He really worked the case hard, did not allow things to "drag" on, and gave us his full attention and time...you've got to appreciate that. If you want someone smart, who will fight hard for you in order to bring about the best possible outcome, Kevin is you man. Thanks Kevin!
