“If you have been injured in an auto accident or another type of accident that you did not cause, it is important that you seek the advice of a qualified Colorado personal injury attorney who knows the law and has the ability to secure the compensation you deserve. At The O'Connell Law Firm, PC, we represent Colorado clients through some of the most difficult times of their lives.
We know how overwhelming it can be for injury victims to deal with overzealous insurance adjusters who want to settle their claims for as little as possible. We take the burden of the legal issues off your shoulders and work directly with the insurance company to negotiate a settlement that provides the medical care and financial support necessary to facilitate your recovery. If a fair settlement cannot be negotiated, we will take your case to court.

Attorneys who care win, and that is why Mike earns my referrals and business as a lawyer. No question he is one of my "go-to's" in Colorado as his depth of experience always leads my clients to the best results. The fact he is also a hell of a good dude is a major bonus.

I endorse this lawyer for always putting the clients needs first.

I worked with Mike on a big personal injury and wrongful death case. He is an intelligent and honest lawyer who is also a great litigator. I've seen him in trial and he has a very commanding presence in the courtroom. I'd highly recommend him for any personal injury matter.

Michael is one of the best attorneys that I know. I met Michael through the Trial Lawyer's College and was impressed by his skill, commitment, and dedication to his clients.

Mike is an excellent litigator and an excellent trial lawyer. Usually, an excellent lawyer is one or the other. Rarely is the same lawyer both. If I needed an attorney to represent my interests against an insurance company, I would call Mike. He has my strongest endorsement.
Michaela Canterbury, Insurance Attorney on Oct 3, 2011

I met Mike at Trial Lawyers College and saw him in action. Mike is fearless, compassionate and a great attorney that knows how to get clients through the insurance maze. I endorse this lawyer.

I had the opportunity to meet Attorney Mike O'Connell while attending Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. I was consistently amazed by Mike's passion and dedication for his clients. While at the college I was able to work with Mike and learned firsthand that his knowledge of the law and his trial skills are second to none. Without hesitation I would recommend Mike to any person injured in Colorado.
Robert Curran, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 13, 2011

recommend Mike highly. He's an intelligent and aggressive attorney, who's impressed me greatly. He goes above and beyond for his clients, and achieves excellent results.

I had the privilege of watching Michael work this summer at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. Mike has a unique ability to see the main issues in a case and effectively communicate them to a jury. If you are injured in Colorado, you should call Michael O'Connell and let him tell your story to a jury. You will not regret it.
