Amazingly Impressive Attorney for Workers Comp Cases!

You can't ask for more when it comes to knowledge of workers compensation, I don't think there is anyone more qualified and experienced. I have had a unique case to say the least that has lasted years and there hasn't been an occasion when Cliff was not able to come through. Best of all he is a strai...ght-shooter who does not in any way look to help himself first. His first comment to me once I explained my case was- "you can go to anyone if your looking for a payout, but if you're looking to solve your injury problems then I think I can help you." Every lawyer I spoke to in advance of Cliff never even asked me if I'd like to get my situation resolved. They all began by saying that they could probably get me X amount of money. What help is that when you need to get workers comp insurance to cover the costs of surgeries? Cliff pointed out to me that a lump sum of money might sound good to people, but how long will that money last if you have to pay for your own surgeries and Dr. visits. That money would be gone quick and what about follow-ups, or future issues? Not any of the other lawyers had me even consider this. Cliff could take his percentage of your settlement, but his true concern was more about your well being. He actually cares about his clients and their well being. Surely other lawyers are concerned their cut of your settlement and that is why they want you to know how much money they can get you. If you're looking for a payout go with any schmoe. If you are looking for results and someone who knows which doctors are in the pocket of insurance companies and which are in it to help people, go with Cliff Eley. I promise you that you will not go wrong. I am always amazed at the amount of time and effort he gives my case. You can't go wrong.

Relax and Let Cliff Do The Work!

Cliff Eley is extremely knowledgeable in the workman's compensation field. He is very specialized. I tend to be a very panicked person in financial stress, and Cliff took care of my very stressful WC case. This was one of the most difficult times in my life, dealing simultaneously with injury, an ...inability to work, and financial stress, and Cliff took care of everything! There was very little effort required on my part. Also, I preferred to communicate via email during the months we worked together. I was always impressed when he would exchange emails with me even late at night and on the weekends! In fact, he let me know right away when my case was resolved at 11pm at night! Also in court, he was impressive, professional, and prepared. He also prepared me well for my testimony and questioning. I wish I could have filmed our "slam dunk" in court.

Very knowledgeable attorney-highly recommend

I went through a complicated and lengthy (3 year long) Workman's Comp injury case in Colorado. Through it all, Mr. Eley and his staff, (including Danielle Schwartz, Mr. Eeley's paralegal) were always there to guide me with every step of the way. Any questions or concerns of mine were handled promptl...y and the advice they gave me as their client was absolutely correct. Mr. Eley has many years experience with Workman's Compensation law in Colorado and is exactly what he represents himself to be. My case was handled professionally and with expertise. Due to that, I received the best outcome possible. Without hesitation, I highly recommend the Eley Law Firm to anyone with a Workman's Compensation injury. http://www.eleylawfirm.com/Attorney/Clifford-Eley.shtml Eley Law Firm Phone: 866-458-6360

Review

I was told that Cliff was the Denver authority on work comp related legal matters, and he sure was. Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. After interviewing a hand full of attorneys who claimed to be experts, my choice was clear with cliff.

"Mr. Eley is one of the smartest and most effective lawyers I know. He has the unique ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results for his clients. His ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results is based on the fact that he is always well prepared and a great trial lawyer if the matter cannot be settled prior to trial.

"I have known Mr. Eley for many years, and we have represented clients on different sides in workers' compensation claims. Mr. Eley is a zealous advocate for his clients, but always is respectful and trustworthy in our cases. Mr. Eley is also a worthy adversary at trial, and presents a very disciplined and persuasive case. He makes any defense counsel be on his/her toes. Yet, Mr. Eley is able to work in a collaborative way to resolve issues that should be resolved without having to go to trial. I highly recommend Mr. Eley."
