We were in an accident with my newborn and my husband, that caused me a lot of pain. Our car was totaled on the scene, and as you can imagine, hospital bills were STACKING up in the THOUSANDS. At first, my husband and I didn’t know what to do. Due to a connection of acquaintances, we were referred to Jordan Law to take on our case. My family and I are so grateful that we did. I got all the care I needed, I always had the support I needed, and just people who care. It’s tough to find lawyers that genuinely care about you and all the different components of having an accident, while also fighting for you. Hopefully, I don’t get into another car accident, but if I do or any of my family does, we will be going back to Jordan Law.

As a vendor, I can tell you my experience working with Kevin Tully and Jordan Law has been overwhelmingly positive. It's quite common for our legal clients to struggle with timely responses and feedback, since there are so many other priorities to address, but the team at Jordan Law and Kevin in particular have always been sure to immediately respond to requests and remain communicative. Whether they are a client of yours or you choose to retain them as legal council, rest assured that you're time will be valued and respected. I highly recommend working with Jordan Law in any and every capacity.

I found myself a victim of roofing contractor that took my money and didn’t perform any work. County law enforcement was moving incredibly slow and I did not have strong confidence I was going to recover any of my money. I decided to hire Stuart Morse Law firm. I mostly worked with Greg on my case and I was immediately impressed with this law firm. This team of law was able to recover all the money the contractor stole from me and almost all the damages the roofing contractor created. The Stuart Morse Team did a great job! Thank you!

The professionalism and communication was more than we could have asked for. Our direct contact was Gregory J. Theo. He was always there to answer questions and communicate with us on the progress of our case. I will definitely be referring your office in the future.

I've never seen anyone work so fast for me on a case. If you ever need an attorney, contact Chad Hammett. He doesn't mess around he gets right to it and he doesn't turn his cases over to 20 different lawyers. He works for me personally and lets me know everything that is going on at all times. I gave him a five-star. Contact him if you need help.

I hired Mr. Brovege after meeting with other lawyers for a workers comp claim. He was compassionate and concerned with my health. He presented a detailed outline of what to expect, timeline and experts I would meet with to resolve my claim and get my health back to normal. I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient and detailed oriented Mr. Brovege was. My claim was settled sooner than I expected. The health professionals Mr. Brovege recommended was superb. I have recommended Mr. Brovege to others with the same results. I have also used his expertise on other matters much to my satisfaction.

In September 2023 I was wrongly accused of a crime which involved the Denver Police Department undercover officers. This was an extremely traumatic experience for my husband and children. Mr Lazarra was recommended to us by an acquaintance. From the beginning of our first consultation, Mr Lazarra was patient, understanding, professional, knowledgeable, confident and very well experienced. He was upfront and honest about what we should expect in the months to come. He was very reassuring and much of the anxiety and fear that I and my family were experiencing was relieved and we were far more confident that we would get fair justice in the end. And what a blessing that was to us. It was a long drawn out process to say the least, but we were prepared for it because Mr Lazarra was always there to answer questions and address our concerns. That meant so much to us. We never felt in the dark, neglected or forgotten. Mr Lazarra was never too busy to talk with us. He was always on time at the court house, never late for appointments and knew the prosecutors which made things move along more smoothly. Mr Lazarra knew exactly what to expect so there were no surprises and he was right about everything 100% all along the way. I can’t tell you what a relief that was to me and to my family. Yes it was a long process that only recently in July 2024 was resolved with a dismissal. I don’t think anyone can understand what a blessing it was to finally have this painful burden lifted off our shoulders thanks to Mr Lazarra. This could have all shattered our family had it not been for Mr Lazarra and for that I and my family will always be grateful and indebted. Thank You so very much. Jinling

Without Alan Shafner and his team, I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the challenges and emotional toll that my case brought. I also wouldn’t have found the strength and courage within myself to face it with confidence and believe that a successful outcome was achievable. Alan demonstrated the power of standing up for your truth and what you know is right. With his years of experience and strategic expertise, he transformed what initially seemed daunting and unattainable into a complete reality. His unwavering support and confidence in both myself and our case were vital in helping me through periods of stress and doubt. Without his total faith and assurances, I wouldn’t have had the courage to confront this complex hurdle. He truly put in the effort, showing determination in everything he did to achieve a positive result. Molly, Lars, and Allie were also integral to the process. They guided me every step of the way, easing my stress during especially difficult times while being incredibly empathetic, helpful, and understanding. I will always be immensely grateful to Alan and his team for their dedication, support, and commitment to making my case a success. They helped me find the perseverance and fortitude to overcome this challenging time in my life. If it hadn’t been for Alan, I wouldn’t be sitting here today with newfound inner strength and empowerment. Thank you so much, Alan, and to each and every person who contributed to making this possible.

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 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!!!

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.
