Review Darby Hoggatt

Darby was a life saver

5.0 stars

Posted by

Darby helped guide me through the personal injury process when I was hit by a car on my motorcycle.I had no health insurance and had no med pay on my insurance,he helped me find medical treatment and referred me to services to help me financially as I was between jobs.He went above and beyond with my case,made sure that I was able to receive medical care and checked on my progress often.I hired Darby on the referral of a friend who used him for an auto accident,without him I would likely still be dealing with the run around from the insurance company. He was able to resolve everything very quickly once I was done with treatment,even getting me a higher settlement then I thought I would get.

I worked with Darby in regards to a several year worker's compensation case. At his office, Gloria called the division and made sure we had all the information he needed for him to help me. He was extremely patient with me and answered every single one of my many questions. His advice and plan of action were in my best interest and I felt confident in his care of my case. Darby is professional and personable, he made me feel comfortable and at ease, and I never felt like he was just out to make himself money; he truly cared about what would be right for me. I would recommend to any of my family and friends.

Dardy Hoggatt represented me when I was rear-ended in a car accident. Every step of the way I was treated with utmost respect, kindness and transparency regarding my case. He took the time to call me often to inform me of any developments in the case and kept me in the know throughout the whole process. He explained the different legal jargon and made me aware of all my options. Darby is not only a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer, but a decent and kind person as well. His office staff was caring, professional and efficient. I would highly recommend him to anyone that has a personal injury and is in need of a lawyer

Great work ethics

Darby was extremely helpful in guiding me the right way. He brought up some questions that I did not think about and answers I had no clue to. By far one of the best lawyers and honest that I have met. He did not take my case because that's how honest he was. He said my work comp was doing everything right. And i already went through all the hoops on my own. Thank you Darby.

Darby Hoggatt is an Excellent Attorney

I hired Darby in November of 2006 to represent me in a wrongful death suit against my late husband's employer. My world had collapsed upon the loss of my husband, I was vulnerable, and confused. Darby took control of each and every aspect of my case with clarity, honesty and compassion. His legal expertise won me a fair settlement, but it was his attention to my well being throughout the grueling process that made him a life long friend and confidante. I highly recommend Darby, Gloria and his legal team to provide anyone with the absolute highest standard of legal care.

I referred a matter to him as a Colorado lawyer that I could not handle from my practice in California

My daughter's husband had been killed in an automobile collision whil he was on the fob. The case involved both a worker's compensation claim against his employer and the recovery under a personal life insurance policy under which my daughter was the beneficiary. The matter was very complicated because the defendants both tried to escape liability by showing drugs or alchohol were involved. DLH did an excellent job in effecting full recoveries in both matters.

I have practiced in the area of Workers' Compensation defense for over 30 years, and have worked with virtually every attorney who practices in this area. Darby is among the very best I have ever worked with. He is truly a 'top notch' (and very skilled) advocate for injured workers.

Jacob Rupp-Zimmerman, Workers compensation Attorney on Apr 21, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Darby Hoggatt is one of the only Workers Compensation attorneys to whom I would willingly refer a client. He has been very successful in helping any of my clients who have been injured at work in getting fair treatment from their employer. I also find his responsiveness and professionalism to be top par. I have only heard positive things from any of my clients to whom I refer him, and so he continues to be my first choice for a workers compensation attorney when someone needs it.
