We buy insurance to protect us when something goes wrong. But, too often, when we ask insurance companies to protect us, they choose to protect their money instead. That's not right, and I'm dedicated to helping my clients hold insurance companies accountable so they don't put profits over people.
Over the past decade, I've helped clients recover millions of dollars from all sorts of insurance companies: disability insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D), automobile insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance (UM/UIM), homeowners' insurance, business owners' insurance, commercial general liability insurance, boat owners' insurance, cancer insurance, health insurance, and even pet insurance. I've helped people resolve cases in state trial courts, federal trial courts, and the courts of appeal throughout Colorado. I'm experienced with both the federal ERISA laws and Colorado's unique insurance bad faith laws.
I'm also proud to help people who have been injured through no fault of their own, like in car crashes, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-falls, and wrongful deaths. In each case, I work hard to tell my client's story, no matter what their injuries. Whether they're suffering from a broken bone, a traumatic brain injury, or the wrongful death of a loved one, I treat my clients like family to learn their human story, and I'm committed to obtaining full and fair compensation for the injuries forced on them by someone else.
So, if you're in a fight with an insurance company, or if you or someone you love has been hurt or killed, I'm happy to talk with you about how I can help.

Very Thorough
When I hired McDermott law to represent me, Tim was assigned my case. I couldn't be more pleased. My appeal was built from the ground up with every piece strategically placed. Until now, I had no idea that insurance companies really are the way they are portrayed on film. Just plain sketchy. Tim ...

Best in the business.
I hired Tim when my disability carrier was stalling in paying my disability claim. I am an attorney, and had years of experience hiring and supervising other attorneys. I reached out to other attorneys I knew in Denver for a recommendation for this type of case, and heard back from two whose opinio...

Insurance Case
I found Tim to be an outstanding legal professional. He took my case when other firms were not interested. Through his dedication to his clients we were able to file and win the case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding lawyer to represent you.

Exceptional for Disability Appeals/Denials
This firm handled my wife’s appeal when her LTD insurance carrier abruptly terminated her benefits. Tim Garvey represented her through the appeal process; he and his team were so helpful in gathering objective and accurate information for the appeal submission. There is no way we could have managed t...

Mr. Garvey receives my highest recommendation
McDermott Law and my attorney, Tim Garvey receive my highest recommendation. Mr. Garvey & Mr. McDermott were thorough, detail oriented, realistic, and passionate about their work. I also interviewed two other firms, but what stood out about McDermott and Mr. Garvey for me was the fact that th...
"Tim is an outstanding lawyer. Not only is he very skilled, and hard working, but he has an obvious passion for the law. His dedication to exacting justice, and his professionalism in the process, have led to great results for his clients. I routinely look to Tim's counsel when I face tough legal issues, and I will continue to do so in the future."
"Tim and I worked together on an insurance case that went to trial. A jury awarded the maximum amount permitted by law. Tim is a brilliant and passionate advocate for his clients, and knows everything there is to know about insurance law. Without Tim's hard work and legal acumen, our case never would have been as successful."
