Does Olson Law use a call center to answer their phones? I had someone named Jalen, an extremely young male, answer that didn't tell me where he was answering the phone at and didn't answer even one question i asked, he just kept kinda using a script. He said he was a receptionist for Olson Law, but did not sound like someone id let answer a phone. I needed to know if i had already called this particular firm and if so what they're reason for not filing a complaint or getting one started was. I have a TBI im almost done with but finding a lawyer to get started on that while still receiving care as a legal newbie is hard work because im not getting hepful people (across the board) im getting push back instead. Like someone should be like omg lets get started, ill start the review, you continue care, and ill ask questions along the way before i start a complaint. But im not getting that. im getting a lot of pointless conversation. If im in the wrong location, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Is it the city, the neighborhood, is the case too hard, are they too busy, is there a conflict of interest with the hospital im suing or something? Like scared to sue? I dont get it... Its JUST a lawsuit that needs to get filed. Is it the Denver area? Are they like no, she doesnt live in this neighborhood so im not dealing with this? Like family oriented? Im so confused right now.

The Olson Law Firm was the perfect choice for my personal injury case. Sean Olson and Phil Meinkoth worked diligently and effectively to help me navigate the court system every step of the way. Sean, Phil, and the staff at Olson Law were courteous, professional, and timely in their communications throughout the 4 years we worked together. Their steadfast commitment to helping me get the best possible outcome was very much appreciated. I would recommend the Olson Law Firm to anyone looking for a top-notch personal injury law firm.

Grant was beyond helpful with my son’s ticket he received as a result of an accident while he was on vacation in Colorado. I called Grant based on a referral from a trusted source, and WOW!!! One of the best referrals I have ever received. He is very quick to respond to questions, concerns and is so amazing to work with. We had to get the ticket resolved in a timely manner due to my son’s commitment to leave for basic training 4 days after the required court date. He made it happen and was even able to get it reduced with less points and a lower fine and virtual appearance for my son. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!!!

Aaron Israels was diligent, professional, knowledgeable and extremely thorough. My legal ordeal was quite cumbersome but Aaron was present, willing and ready to go the extra mile for me.

They are superior legal representatives, hand down the best representation I have received to date!! ❤ 🙌 🙌 🙌

Isreals & Nueman are a formidable adversary and well-versed in an industry littered with under-informed and (in my opinion) dangerously incompetent figures posing as effective counsel for the investing public. Isreals & Neuman are the coat. The vast majority of their competitors, ride the coattails of Isreals & Nueman.

It has been my experience that the best attorneys are those who can demonstrate some key skillsets: Patiently asking key questions to understand the issues at hand; taking the time to do "dig deep" research, the ability to think-on-your-feet while connecting the legal dots, and communicating with the client frequently and in a timely manner. Conor possesses and practices these skillsets with ease, which has led to equitable resolutions for all parties on either side of the table. His business acumen, combined with his extensive military experience, are reflected in his legal expertise as well as his approach in dealing with business conflicts of all types. His positive attitude and friendly demeanor makes him very easy to work with.

I can't speak to the other lawyers at this firm, but I had a very disturbing experience with Andrew Castle, who represented one of my friends in a relatively high profile case. Unfortunately, my friend was found guilty on all 7 counts. And my friend and I weren't really sure of what to do. I asked him if there was any way I could use my platform to try to help? And my friend said that it might help, but that we should first ask his lawyer Andrew, before doing anything. We had agreed that this was a good idea, and I sent an email asking what Andrew thought, making it very clear that I wouldn't do anything if that made him or my friend uncomfortable.
When I asked Andrew if using my platform would be of any use, Andrew's response was very aggressive. I asked him why he was being aggressive, when I already had agreed to not doing anything that he didn't feel comfortable with. To my surprise, his response was to tell me to stop talking to his client, my friend, while he was in custody.
It was a very jarring experience as I simply wanted to try to help my friend, and again, had no interest in doing anything that would make my friend or Andrew feel uncomfortable.
I also found this to be very disturbing, as I imagine being in jail is tough, and someone in jail might want to have as many friends as possible to talk to. However, because I didn't want to further anger Andrew, I and others stopped talking to our friend until he was out of custody. I think that's an incredibly horrible and cruel position to put all of us in, as we simply wanted to provide emotional support throughout an incredibly tough time.
I found Andrew to be extremely insecure, aggressive, and unprofessional. If you or someone you care about is going through a legal process, it's generally a very painful time, and having a lawyer lash out in these ways really adds to the stress of that. I would highly recommend finding a lawyer who can treat others in a professional manner, or at least with a kind mentality.

Barry went above and beyond in so many ways. As his client, I was expecting professionalism and efficiency - both of which he executed flawlessly. What I was not expecting was how well he not only managed my expectations of my case, but the extent to which he made me feel heard, believed in my innocence and how understanding he was of the mental health impact that my situation was having on me. He provided me with the perfect amount of urgency in getting on top of the matter while also providing a sense of calm to keep me level-headed. My case was immediately dismissed at pre-trial - all thanks to the level of attention to detail and the clarity in which he presented my case to the DA. I cannot recommend his services enough & am so thankful for all the work he did to return my life back to normal.

Mr. Cornell Johnson exceeded my expectations as a personal injury attorney. Cornell was always available to answer any questions I had about my motor vehicle accident - responding promptly to all phone calls and written communications. He carefully laid out the various options and strategies that he thought would be most productive and helped me to come to a much better understanding of what I could expect in terms of obstacles, time frame, and what I could expect from him. Cornell carried his vast legal knowledge and expertise with humility and also with confidence. I felt he truly cared for my well-being as I was healing from my injuries. I cannot recommend Cornell highly enough - he was a blessing to me and my family during such a difficult time.

I began working with Brad and and the Bell and Pollock team shortly after my family was involved in a head-on car accident. After interviewing other firms and significant research, we are glad we chose his firm. From the moment we began working together, the firm took exceptional care for mine and my family's cases. Brad guided us through the entire process and I could not be more grateful for the time and effort his whole office provided. I would highly recommend Bell and Pollock to anyone in need of exceptional legal care.

I was having some concerns and needed a consultation and information from a lawyer and wanted a good law firm that is more personal and not passing me along to whomever could squeeze me in. Bell and Pollock was a great choice for me based on their knowledge and expertise in the areas of law I needed to discuss. Gary Bell was very instrumental in providing me with detailed information that was beneficial for what I was looking for. I value ethics and this law firm made me feel heard. Gary took time to not just meet with me but had me send over my concerns and he spent time going over my information before the consultation so that he was able to be very specific to me and my concerns and spoke in a way that made sense and not just ‘legal speak’. The fact that Gary and his firm take consultations seriously and are so open to truly helping clients is amazing in this day and age! Everyone I spoke to there was so helpful and professional. It is a welcome change to know you can find a trusted law firm. If I ever need representation, I would definitely choose him and his law firm to represent me.

My experience with Allen Vellone Wolf Helfrich & Factor has been beyond great. They dug into the issues of my case and discovered things in my favor that go far beyond what other defendants in the same case appear to have missed or not seriously considered. My opinions of Jim Helfrich and Kate Sender go beyond my ability to express. The best I can say is that I trust them to do their absolute best, which I believe they have done. No bullshit.
They haven’t always told me what I want to hear, but they have always considered my opinion and that has been reflected in the things they have produced on my behalf. My case is not over, but they believe in me and have taken my side with the best they have to offer. Their rates are fair, and I have never had the feeling they were fabricating hours as so many law firms do, especially the law firm that is attacking me. I suspect I will have more to add to this review in the future.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.

How Are Government Lawyers Paid?

- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
