My case/need for representation was rather unsual, and I am very grateful that Reid Elkus took me on as a client. He and Amy Morris were both kind, knoweldgable and willing to answer any questions I had concerning very stressful and long proceedings. As the case progressed, Reid checked in with me concerning next steps, making sure I understood the legal end of things and what might unfold with each decision that was made through the court system. By the end of this 2+ year process, Reid had assisted me in not only getting the court (and court of appeals) to dismiss erroneous claims, but also made sure I understood my legal rights, and how to protect myself in the future. I am so very thankful that Denver Classroom Teachers Association had Elkus and Sisson listed as a trusted firm with a special consideration for educators.

I have been co-counsel with Jennifer and I have referred clients to Jennifer and so I have had a firsthand opportunity watch her approach to cases and see how innovative and capable an attorney she is at maximizing the recovery her clients obtain. If anyone has the opportunity to hire Jennifer, they should do so. She is a great lawyer.

Jennifer was very accessible to myself and my husband. When we emailed her, she responded the same day. She and her assistant worked very hard on our cases. When the insurance company made an offer, Jennifer called us personally to discuss the offer. She told us if we allowed her to negotiate further, she could get us what was reasonable for our pain and suffering. She went above and beyond and helped our family be compensated far more than we ever expected. We are beyond pleased with her services and would recommend her to anyone.

Torrey was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find justice in two different, very difficult cases. Minor details, which could have easily been overlooked, were the ultimately the key to helping me win my cases and she was able to pick up on those small-print details in my documents and bring them to light in court.

Because of the relationship, Carter was my lawyer pro bono. I would have received the same sentencing without a lawyer, but was more comfortable having one. It was easier to have him on my side then going through the case alone.

Disabled veteran and first time reviewer of anyone. Stay away from this law firm. If you read the low reviews on Google, you'll get the most accurate outlook on the work ethic of this lawyer. I had a restraining order filed on me based on false claims. I had a police incident report practically proving the claims made were false and on my initial meeting, he was quick to say that he would subpoena the police officer that responded to the incident and that he would get the case dismissed. For this he wanted $1,500. As it was part of a divorce with no kids and complicated finances, he charged a total of $3,500 for both. I spoke with a half dozen law firms before going with his since the task was simple enough that even I myself could have done it but since I couldn't afford mistakes, I instead made the mistake of hiring this lawyer. The day before the hearing I had to call him since he had not contacted me regarding the case or his process or anything at all. The reason was that he hadn't done anything- He walked in to the court room less than 5 minutes before the hearing began and asked me questions about the restraining order which I provided to him weeks before. Apparently he took the time to read it right before the hearing itself because instead of fulfilling his promise, he just asked for a continuance or postponement if you're unfamiliar (and billed me for his appearance). The next hearing went exactly the same way, except it was the other party that requested the continuance (and he billed me for his appearance). After I contacted him demanding he file the evidence I provided to him and ask what his plan was for the next hearing, his response was that he was "hoping the other party doesn't show up". He got his wish (and billed me for his appearance) and the case was dismissed without prejudice after him having done nothing and with a smile that implied a victory, said that even though it can be filed again, he would just take care of it then. The next problem was the response to a divorce filing. His paralegal called me multiple times the day it was due, the last of which occurred after 4:00PM while she ironed out the details. The response was filed shortly after that and less than an hour from the deadline, which tells me he wouldn't even have time to proofread it. Although his staff is very diligent , friendly and competent, the opposite is all that can be said for this lawyer. In the first hearing dealing with jurisdiction of my divorce, he lost. For context, the other party represents themselves and is a person in their early 20s with zero college and legal training and that's who he lost to. (and he billed me for all of this) I arranged a meeting in person after this to try to understand why all of this occurred the way it did. The first thing he did in the meeting is remind himself of who I was and my case (he never took the time to learn either of my cases), and after my first query that questioned his level of competence, he immediately offered to withdraw from my case. Having already made the decision to fire him, I pressed forward in the conversation asking him why he failed to get my restraining order case dismissed, to try to get reassurance that he wouldn't lose to court against this person a second time. Instead of providing any explanation, he just reiterated that he would withdraw from my case. I haven't been invoiced for this month yet but I have a feeling I was billed for that as well. The conversation took place over 8 minutes and what I have written here was all he said. The ordeal I've just related cost me over $3,000. And due to his failure to withdraw from my case within a deadline, the opposing party is filing a complaint with the BAR. I am filing one of my own for obvious reasons. I don't see any responses to either positive or negative reviews on google, so use that as reference to his method of addressing really just about anything.

I must admit- It is very difficult to come face-to-face with debt; It hurts the ego and has left me with sleepless nights of worry and impending doom.

Jon Bradley helped me from the day I woke up from the medically induced coma to the day we closed my case. He helped me find a workmens comp lawyer. While I was waiting on the benefits to start from workmens comp Jon got some money from the at fault driver so I was able to pay my bills and settle all the leans I had on any other personal injury that was going to be awarded in the future. Jon Bradley and his team worked hard on going after my employers insurance. I had a long road to recovery and I was very happy I didn't have to worry about getting screwed by the insurance companies at every turn. Jon Bradley had my back or what was left of it and I couldn't image hiring another lawyer.

I was involved in an automobile accident in 2007 and was thrust into the legal system. The defense attorney decided to take my case to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals after losing at trial. Mr. Hemmat had the greatest belief in his team to task them with appearing before this court. Jason never once trivialized my concerns or questions. I have the utmost respect for Jason and I would not hesitate one bit in recommending him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. In fact, I would recommend anyone to the Anderson Hemmat McQuinn law firm. I have been treated with nothing but respect and concern for my well being and the well being of my case.

I was hurt at work and I took my case to a different law firm which held on to it for almost two years. That is three weeks before the statute of limitations was to run out. This other law firm sent me a letter letting me know that they didn't think that this was a big enough case for them to make enough money on. The letter also said I could file for extended time on the case at my county court house. Well not knowing anything about the law and not having the money to file I started to look for a new firm. I called Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn. I was lucky enough to talk to Jason Alleman we set up a time and went to see him. He told us right up front we did not have a lot of time to get this thing going. He ask the name of the company and to our surprise there were several with the same name. He said I will send them all a letter just to make sure we get the right one. To make a long story short Jason was very professional and honest. He told me everything that was going on and we got no surprises. Every time I called if he didn't have an answer he would find it out for me (and I called a lot). He never made me feel like I was bothering him and was always very pleasant. He made me feel like he cared about what happen to me and wanted to help. Not only did Jason help me but I also received letters from Chad Hemmat explaining what was going on. Kim my legal assistant was also very helpful. She was right on top of the case with information whenever I would call she was the most pleasant person to talk to! I feel that Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn would be the place I would go for any personal injury legal advice and would recommend this firm to all my friends and family. Jason once again thank you and the firm so much for all your help. I felt you were very professional, honest and a very caring person. Too bad for the other law firm that said it was too small of a case. We did great!!!

After me and my fiancé were struck by a distracted driver, we were both rushed to the ER at Denver Health. My fiancées injuries were more serious than my injuries, she had to have immediate spinal surgery where here C5 had to be removed and replaced with a metal bracket. I recieved a hedial fracture in my elbow. I called Anderson Hemmat & McQuinns law office in seek of legal representation. They than put Jason Alleman on the phone to speak with me. I explained our situation with the accident and our injuries that we occurred and he sounded so concerned about our well being and how unfortunate our situation was , etc. Long story short, I signed his contract and I hired Jason Alleman thinking I was hiring Anderson Hemmat himself, which was the first lie told to me by Jason. Than I myself did 90% of my own research about the other driver, his insurance, the police report, all information from everyone involved in the accident, etc. Which I than gave to Jason and his law office, (Anderson Hemmat & McQuinn) where I was insured that they would take care of me and represent me with the upmost professionalism and respect that I deserve, that was the second lie told to me! I continued to try and contact Jason about my case, he pushed me off to some paralegal student who worked for the law office, she was absolutely no help what so ever, probably because she was on her way out of that company. After weeks of no replys to phone calls and emails I recieved a letter stating that Jason Alleman and his law office will no longer be representing me in this case and that my situation did not meet there criteria, I believe those were the exact words used, to represent someone like me!!! What!? Yea I know right! Not only that, there was a $386.52 bill attached to the letter stating that they were dropping me as a client!! Not once did Jason Alleman have to dignity or common decency to contact me and let me know that due to the other drivers lack of coverage. I had to find out through this letter! It simply was not enough money for this greedy law office, therefore they dropped me!! Again... Run don't walk!!!

Most times when you hire a defense attorney, chances are it is not for a pleasant situation. What made it a lot more enjoyable was the professionalism of this law firm! Every single staff member that I met was extremely professional and friendly. I had the pleasure working with them for approximately one year. Anytime I emailed or called, they responded in a timely manner. They explained the whole process and answered all my questions. They are extremely knowledgeable and amazing at what they do! I can not thank Max, Marianne and Hailey enough for all their hardwork and dedication!!! If you find yourself in a situation where you need a defense attorney, hire the best! If you want the best, then hire this law firm!

Where do begin, I worked with Russell for over a year when he was at Ring & Associates in Fort Collins Colorado. This was for a car accident. Over the course of an entire year Russell didn't get anything done in my case. He had over 50 different times in which he failed to respond. He put in lackluster effort which reflected in my settlement amount. He never pushed to get more money in my pocket and It took and entire year to reach a settlement. The same exact deal that was presented in the beginning of the process. The only reason I accepted is because I was tired of dealing with his effort. Miss phone calls, missed emails, wouldn't give me updates for months on end. It was very sad to see how little he cared about me as a client. To put the cherry on top, he accepted the settlement in a frozen account left the firm and didn't bother to tell me. The only reason I ever knew is because I emailed 5 separate times to get a response. He finally responded with "Sorry I no longer work there" So he essential took a year to send a settlement that never changed and accepted it into a frozen account. Appreciate all the hard work you did for me. I highly recommend to any future potential clients to not use Russell, he does not care about his clients.

I obtained Mr Boyer in 2011. I live in Pa but had a situation in Co. We spoke on the phone and discussed a fee. I sent him the fee discussed and after everything was complete he added a $675 additional fee. I did not pay it because I was unsure what it was for. I called his office and they were unsure also. He has had this on my credit report to this day. If the fee was justified I would have understood but it was not justified. No one contacted me to explain the charge. They were unaware of what the charge was for when I contacted them. Plenty of good lawyers out there, Mr Boyer, I feel, is not an honest lawyer.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
