Dog bite

Kelly was great to work with. We had no idea where to even begin with all the bills and the physical problems that we were facing because of the attack that occurred from a dog as I was riding my bike. Kelly was very knowledgeable and helpful in getting us what was fair in coving and paying the many ...bills that we are even still today accruing. We would have been in big financial trouble had we not had Kelly working for us with the owner of the dog’s insurance. We were dealing with just trying to heal and recover and it was so nice to have Kelly do all the leg work. Hands down, I would recommend Kelly to anyone who is in need of some help after an accident. He is fun to work with and has a great sense of humor as well.

This client suffered a severe ankle injury when a neighbor’s dog attacked her on her bike while riding past his property. Cases involving a neighbor are tricky and insurance companies like to avoid paying by capitalizing on the reluctance to file a claim on a neighbor’s insurance. Here we were able to explain to the neighbor that he had paid premiums for years and that his insurance now owed the money on the policy to his neighbor and that it was a good thing he had increased his limits. The case settled for the full $300,000 limits. We also got the health insurance lien reduced so they kept more in their pocket. We did this all for our reduced fee of 25% and client did not have to even file a complaint against her neighbor.

Dependable from start to finish

While attending graduate school I was involved in an accident while sitting at a red light that totaled my vehicle and caused a chronic back injury. I had medical bills piling up, tuition, a baby on the way, and could no longer work my construction job due to my injury. We started to feel helpless w...hen the other party's insurance kept delaying. As soon as Kelly heard about my situation he wanted to help. After talking with Kelly I felt relieved and knew that he would advocate for me. He has had my best interest in mind, both physically and financially, as he's worked to ensure a resolution. Although the process has taken longer than we all originally thought, he continues to advise and make sure that I will be taken care of in the future. I would highly recommend Kelly for any of your injury needs as his experience and expertise are invaluable.

This. case arose when a dementia patient got the keys to a car and drove several blocks almost hitting several motorists. Then he drove headlong into the rear of this client’s vehicle. The case was tricky because the dementia patient died a year later and this changes when a complaint has to be filed. Many attorneys may have missed discovering that the defendant later died and would have failed to timely file a complaint. As a result we were able to maximize a settlement on a case that happened in Colorado.

Finally an honest attorney

I hired Kelly in my personal injury case with a disdain for attorney's. Kelly proved to me that there are good attorney's and most of all honest ones. His sense of humor throughout the proceedings helped to make it more pleasurable. Kelly got me the settlement value that we discussed up front in a... reasonable time frame keeping to his very reasonable fee agreement with no hidden surprises. I would use Kelly again in a second without hesitation and you should too. Kelly is not only highly knowledgeable about personal injury and insurance companies, he is a true fighter!

Dog bite

Having never consulted an attorney before, we were unsure how this experience would be. Kelly patiently guided us through the process and explained how things would work, sometimes several times. Without his expertise, our experience would have been a nightmare. He was professional, engaging, and got... the job done for us. We would definitely retain him again, should the need ever arise.

Quick and painless

Kelly went above and beyond to help settle our motorcycle accident claim. He is very thorough and explains everything in detail. In a time of chaos and pain he helped calm our minds knowing we had the best lawyer on our side.

This case was so important because we rushed to get it done so quickly that the health insurance company could not file liens on their settlement and take their money from them. It all went to the family to help with his recovery. And they were great clients to work with.
