About Gordon

Biography

Gordon Heuser is a Colorado Springs native who has spent more than 41 years representing injured people across Southern Colorado. As a founding partner of the firm, he has handled thousands of cases and argued before the Colorado Supreme Court. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.

After a crash, insurers move quickly to limit what they pay. Gordon Heuser has spent four decades on the other side of that table, building cases for injured drivers and passengers and pursuing the full recovery they are need under Colorado law.

A fall on someone else's property can lead to lasting injuries and a fight over who is responsible. Gordon Heuser has handled premises liability claims throughout Southern Colorado, building the record needed to hold negligent property owners accountable.

Injured workers face a system that rarely favors them. Gordon Heuser has represented Southern Colorado workers in compensation claims for decades, and his command of this area has helped shape the law through cases argued at the state's highest courts.

Losing a family member to someone else's negligence is among the hardest things a family can endure. Gordon Heuser brings steady, compassionate counsel to these cases, drawing on a long career of advocacy and deep roots in the community he has served since 1985.

Experienced and gets results

I had both a work comp claim and car accident claim with Gordon. He went to court and I had my surgery approved through work comp and at the end of both cases i received a very good settlement. More than I thought. Communication was good and the team really made me feel like I was taken care ...of.

Excellent Communication, Experienced, and Great Outomce

Mr. Gordon Heuser worked on my personal injury case (and my wife's case) for over a year. He was very patient with me and would always answer my questions even if I had asked before and needed more information. We initially did have a lawyer but after calling Heuser and Heuser the process got much ea...sier. I was able to find a new doctor to help with my injuries and I always knew I was in good hands. The paralegal Brandi was also amazing and we had constant and clear communication. Gordon also made sure our medical bills were taken care of and we didn't have to deal with that headache. I don't know how people navigate this system alone and if someone is seriously hurt I would strongly recommend they call Gordon and team at Heuser and Heuser. Thank you Gordon for all you did for me and my family. Truly.

Thank you so much for the kind words Gary. It was a pleasure working with you. I'm happy I could take the stress out of the personal injury process so you could focus on your recovery. The compensation is always nice as well! There are a lot of personal injury attorneys in Colorado Springs and Pueblo and I'm very thankful you put your trust in Heuser and Heuser and called us.

Gordon has been practicing for decades. He is a leader in the community and hands down one of the best attorneys in the Springs if not the State. He is a resource for other attorneys, generous with his time, kind, hard working, and gets incredible results for his clients. I also very much respect his... work with teen court and his willingness to mentor kids. Just a great man and excellent attorney. A true professional.

He's a TV commercial lawyer. That sums it up.

I would not recommend him if you have a life altering case. Private information that had nothing to with my work comp case was almost released to the opposing lawyers. There was then an attempt to cover this up by a legal assistant. I was also advised I would be eligible for unemployment. This infor...mation came from Gordon himself. This was not correct due to the nature of the resolve. It would have taken a simple correction in wording to avoid this. I now cannot claim benefits I am entitled to, while looking for new employment. This entire experience over the last two years has been exhausting. Many things were done incorrectly or fell through the cracks. I was given a lot of bad legal advice. I was never advised that I should have filed for disability more than a year and a half ago. I had no idea and am unable to collect at this point. That really would have helped our financial situation through all of this. It would have made all the difference. If you want peace of mind or have a serious and complex case, go to another law firm. If it's just a small uncomplicated case and doesn't affect every aspect of your life, they can probably handle it. Over the course of two years I'd say they did about 70% of what should have been done correctly. In the end I was made somewhat whole. It wasn't 100% botched, but it was a nightmare dealing with them. The excuses and not taking fault for their many mistakes was entirely frustrating. Staff turnover is really high. I never know who I should talk to about my case. Bills from medical care get dropped off to them and they don't follow through. Many things have hit collections. I find myself re-explaining myself to new people constantly. My case has been going on for over a year and I have been nervous that things aren't being done properly the entire time. Multiple times they have sent me paperwork to sign and said "the deadline for this is tommorrow". So it seems like a lot of things get done at the last minute. Recently I got a call and the lady had confused me with another client. It just makes me nervous. There is no peace of mind.
