Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

I was hit by a drunk driver several months ago and had serious injuries. I wouldn't have thought of contacting a lawyer until both insurance companies, mine and other driver's, asked for recorded interviews with me. I didn't want to take a chance on saying something that would jeopardize my claim. A friend referred me to Mike Keating. He and his associate, Deidre Ostrowski, represented me throughout the process of settling my claim. I received more money than I could ever have expected. But that is only part of the story. In working through the process, I had to deal with two auto insurers, my health insurance company, two health care providers, the ambulance company, the towing company and Medicare. Amy, staff member with the firm, took care of the paperwork and kept me well informed throughout the process. She really had to educate me, since this was my first experience with such a claim. She was incredibly patient, always pleasant and very efficient. Overall, I felt that Mike and Deidre represented me very effectively, and I recommend them and the firm to anyone in a similar situation.

Michael Zywicki: The Attorney You Can Trust With Your Life, A True Genius in Law, and a Fearless Advocate! I have worked with many professionals across various fields, but never in my life have I encountered someone as extraordinary as Michael Zywicki. To call him a genius in law feels like an understatement. From the moment he came on board, it became abundantly clear that this is someone operating at the highest level of legal expertise, combined with a compassion and dedication that are simply unmatched. Mike has a remarkable ability to break down even the most complex legal issues into understandable terms, making the entire process feel approachable and manageable. Patient beyond belief, he never made me feel rushed or insignificant, no matter how many questions I had or how complicated my concerns were. Every response was prompt, thorough, and reassuring, reflecting a depth of knowledge and experience that is truly rare. Mike is a force to be reckoned with in and out of the courtroom, he is relentless—an advocate and protector with an unparalleled drive to win. Whether it’s crafting a flawless legal strategy or passionately presenting the case before a judge, Mike embodies the word unstoppable. When you have him on your side, you know you have someone who will go to the mat for you, fight tooth and nail, and leave no stone unturned to achieve victory. What’s more, his extraordinary skill and determination come with a level of integrity and fairness that is almost unheard of. The pricing was reasonable, especially compared to other law firms, that I was honestly shocked by the value of the services I received. I expected to pay significantly more for the kind of dedication, brilliance, and results he delivered—but his commitment to accessibility and client care blows me away. I can say without hesitation that I would trust Michael Zywicki with my life. After working with him, I will never look to another attorney. Michael Zywicki is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate, a protector, a warrior, and a friend who will fight tirelessly to ensure justice prevails. Michael Zywicki is without question the best there ever was. Fierce, brilliant, compassionate, and unstoppable, he is the gold standard of legal excellence. I will forever be grateful for the life-changing services I receive!

In a business often filled with deception and dishonesty, working with Michael was truly a breath of fresh air. From our very first conversation, Michael put us at ease with his knowledge and genuine approach. His honesty was evident in every interaction, and we never felt pressured or misled. Unlike many professionals in the legal industry who seem more focused on making money than serving their clients, Michael's integrity shone through, making us feel like we were in safe, trustworthy hands. Beyond his transparency, Michael’s depth of legal knowledge was clear. He guided us through complex legal matters with ease, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand, helping us navigate challenges we would have struggled with on our own. What truly sets Michael apart is his empathy. Rather than just treating us like another case, he approached every interaction with care and compassion. It was clear that he was invested in not just the legal outcome but in our peace of mind. His ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch made all the difference, providing reassurance when we needed it most. This level of personal care is rare, and it’s what makes Michael stand out in a crowded and often ruthless industry. In short, if you’re looking for a lawyer who combines honesty, intelligence, expertise, and true empathy, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s someone you can truly trust and will be our family lawyer for life!

If you're currently reading this review in search of a lawyer, find yourself in comfort and ease and look no further. Because this man right here is hands down the most incredible, patient, knowledgeable, caring and Apex lawyer out there. Mike has been the glue that bonded our family closer together. I mean seriously without him and how hard he fights for his clients I wouldn't have my daughter today. In the past year that Mike has spent with me, He has listened to not just me but also my family and everyone of our frustrations, and laid any fear, panic or disturbance to rest. Mike has a strategic mind that will truly blow you away. He's incredibly honest and never tells you something he won't follow through with. He's a very easy person to talk to and I've spent so much time talking with him and about so many nessesary details of my case where he has financially helped me without nickle and dimeing me. hes genuinely a caring and compassionate person and fights for what he believes in and what you believe in. If Mike was on the food chain in a tank full of lawyers that were all "sharks", he would be the creature that would slowly approach and respectively everyone of those sharks would clear his way in fear of the Alpha. trusting him with this case for my daughter was by far the greatest choice I've ever made. Something so delicate and in need of attention and with accurate precision Mike handled my case flawlessly. His communication and Dedication to my every need, thought and feeling, Everything has been attended to. This man gave me the opportunity to show the world the father I can and will forever be. He fought for my rights and my family. How can I ever find words that could truly express how grateful I eternally feel. My God honest answer is trust this man with everything and do exactly what he tells you to do or advises you to do and you'll come out on top. Mike's isn't just a lawyer but a close friend who just so happens to know the law and is willing to use everything in his power to ensure success for your favorable outcome. Mike's humor is the perfect addition to every family and he's that guy that you get excited to talk to and talk about. Like yup that's my lawyer 😎 He went waaaaaaaaaay above and beyond countless times to help me resource and find facilities, contacted people and helped get things setup and made my life easy and breathable. Mike is the answered prayer from God, coming from that feeling when you're lost at sea and feel like your drowning. Mike is that guy that brings a row boat to rescue and says wait. Till you see the boat your about to be on as he rows you back to safety, letting you rest while he does all the hard work. My sister recommended Mike in my custody case because she had previously hired him for a case regarding her daughter years ago. Because of Mike and how hard he fights, I mean with every finite detail this guy is willing to examine and find specific law in, he helped my sister gain full custody of her daughter and split custody with mine. The little girl that Mike fought for years ago, now gets to babysit her cousin in which he also helped create that possibility for. Our family gets to be a family because of him. Mike Zywicki thank you for fighting for me and my opportunity to be a father. Thank you for fighting for my niece and for my sister to be her mother. Without you, we wouldn't be the family we are today. If every person had a heart like you, the world would be a much better place.

Charlie did a great job trying to defend my case. Although the DUI did not get dropped, he did get my careless driving dropped. DA was not budging on jail time. Danny stepped in at my last courtdate, and was able to get me IHD. On that, I was thankful. I feel I did get my $'s worth from this team. They really do try to get the best deal possible. I would say I would use them again. However I will not need their services in the future. As I will NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. Colorado has become tougher through the years for DUI. The cost alone with everything involved is not worth admitting to having a few drinks and refusing Breathalyzer or Blood tests! If you are ever in this situation, call these guys. They are not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. It is worth having this team of lawyers by your side through this process.

Shawn and MarySue were successful fighting to have my LTD benefits reinstated, twice, when the insurance company decided I was no longer disabled. Later when my husband became disabled they fought successfully for him too. They are caring and very professional and really take the time to listen and follow through with what they tell you they will do.

After every other law firm said no to us McDermott law said yes, and took on our long term disability insurance claim. We contacted at least a dozen firms. Sadly, filing for social security was the easy part…dealing with the long term disability insurance company was unbearable. We could not have made it through this nightmare without McDermott law.

As an executive in the tech industry, handling intricate employment matters demands a skilled and strategic legal approach. During a complex bonus dispute settlement, I had the privilege of working with Steven Murray, whose expertise proved pivotal in securing a fair and favorable resolution. Steven’s deep understanding of Colorado state and federal employment law, was evident throughout the process. His responsiveness, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were truly exceptional. I highly recommend Steven to any professional seeking legal counsel on employment matters, particularly those involving high-level negotiations and compensation disputes. His expertise, strategic approach, and dedication set him apart. Thank you, Steven, for your outstanding support and guidance!

I retained this firm to handle a case involving a snowboarder who injured me as a result of recklessness. I'm out of state and got the recommendation from a partner at a well-known local firm, who indicated that Levanthal Puga Braley is the best of the best in Colorado. My experience was excellent. Very high degree of professionalism and respect for what I prioritized in the process and the settlement they obtained for me. Exactly what you want in these situations. My case took more than a year to complete, and all along the way there were many legal details and strategies I never would have figured out on my own that this firm was expert in. They also interfaced directly with my medical insurance company which was convenient for me. I was extremely well represented by this firm, and would recommend to anyone seeking legal expertise after a ski/board injury or other related matter.

After my car accident, for which I was not at fault, I was referred to Sam Barfield by a friend. I have never used an attorney prior to this accident and was a bit lost in what to do next. Sam took my call immediately and walked me thru the process in detail, even before I had agreed to hire him. He was patient, full of knowledge and explained things in a way a lay person could easily understand. Thru the months of medical appointments and rehab, Sam took great care in explaining what I needed to know and was so comforting thru the process. He is a realist and not a greedy ambulance chaser type. He is very professional and has a calm personality that put me at ease as we navigated the insurance and medical bills. His years of experience are obvious when he brings up items to discuss. I could trust him completely to give me sound advice. I did not know what I didn't know until I met Sam. He is very pleasant to work with and always easy to contact and quick to return calls. I would highly recommend Sam Barfield to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

I was in a horrific rollover collision where I was nearly killed. Another driver was at fault and crossed three lanes on the freeway, and hit me and rolled my car. My car was totally destroyed. I sustained injuries from the collision. I was not in a mental state to handle anything about this collision on my own and knew I needed to hire an advocate. I interviewed multiple attorneys, and when I met Sam Barfield, I knew he was the one. Sam was extremely compassionate as I was dealing with pain and all of the injuries. Sam helped wade through all of the processes that needed to happen and skillfully negotiated on my behalf. There are so many things that need to be taken care of and accounted with a collision and injuries that one would never think to do on their own. Sam’s experience was obvious as he took a reasonable approach. Sam made a compelling case through his attention to detail and fact gathering that resulted in a positive outcome to ensure that I got the care and compensation needed to address my injuries. I highly recommend Sam if you are ever in need of a personal injury attorney!!!

After my car accident, I had a really hard time finding the right representation. I initially reached out to the larger personal injury firms and could barely get a response let alone a call back after my consultation. I feel so lucky I found Sam to represent me, it was a total relief! Sam was incredibly responsive, thorough, professional, honest, and helpful. He walked me through every step of the process and got me top dollar for my case. Thanks so much Sam for all your guidance and hard work! For anyone looking for top representation, Sam is the way to go!

Elliot was an integral part of my legal team at Zaner-Harden law firm in my lawsuit resulting from an auto accident in Nov 2012. I found Elliot to be very knowledgeable, professional, persistent - and calming. He has a demeanor that is cool, calm, and collected - which I found to be very helpful during one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer.

We were very satisfied and happy with Zach Elsner and his Personal Injury legal team at the Sawaya Law Firm, and especially with the outcome of our personal injury lawsuit. Zach Elsner, and his team were all extremely thorough, and great communicators. Zach provided us with very professional, experienced and insightful legal advice. This really assisted and positively impacted our decision making process. This experience was incredibly stressful for us; but Zach's patience and understanding made all the difference during this arduous, complicated and lengthy preparation. He explained everything in detail without it becoming overwhelming for us. We would most highly recommend Zach Elsner and his team, to anyone who is looking for outstanding and excellent legal representation. They're the best"!

I find it very odd to see the less than happy reviews for Sawaya. My experience was top notch. I was hit by a car an now I walk like an Egyptian. Well, not exactly, but the long story is tedious and irrelevant. What matters is that I needed legal counsel to manage my claims process with the insurance companies. I was assigned Zach Elsner and Erin Threadwell as my legal team, and could not be happier. Folks, these things are battles, and not the type that are won in days or weeks, but months, and sometimes years. Zach and Erin were perfectly communicative when I needed to act on something, had an update, or just the occasional check in to make sure they know where we all were in the process. If your hurt, you need more than peace of mind, You need an advocate that is going to take care of business on your behalf. If you need a personal injury attorney, I think that Sawaya is a strong option. Highly professional, and more than anything else, I never felt like they were a bunch of ambulance chasers. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I ever get rag-dolled by an SUV in the future, I know where to turn.

On September of 2020 I was in a horrible motorcycle accident that resulted in serious bodily injury. I hired Sarah McEahern to represent me through this process. I wish I had the vocabulary to express how incredible she was on my case and as a person. My case was not a simple case, it involved the Federal Government due to the person who caused my accident was a Federal Employee. Sarah was relentless in perusing my case to make sure I was able to get everything I deserved. Sarah treated me with the utmost respect, care and compassion, not only towards my case but towards me as a person. When I was confused or didn't understand some part of my case she took the time and care to explain everything to me in a manner that I could understand, always leaving me with confidence and a state of calm. Her professionalism is un matched. Whenever the opposition would try and slow down my case, or try and throw some curve ball Sarah was never fazed by it and instead would directly confront whatever issue they brought up and put it to rest quickly and firmly. Sarah is a no nonsense Attorney that will represent you fearlessly and honestly. She always let me know what my alternatives where and never made me feel like I was forced into any decision. I always felt in control of my case and her words to me always where "This is YOUR one case". Sarah is an exceptional attorney. My case was Federal but it didn't start out that way. It started as a standard (my term) personal injury case and a short time into my case we found out that it had to be transferred/changed over to a Federal Torts' branch case. Sarah didn't blink an eye or miss a step changing gears from one arena to another. I truthfully feel like an Angel sent Sarah to my corner to fight for me and win my case! Without Sarah representing me I don't know what would of happened and how things would of turned out. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with a Personal Injury claim.

Sarah was my main contact at Zaner Harden Law. She and I interacted frequently on the case, as it progressed from trying to work towards a settlement to filing for litigation. Sarah was indispensable in so many ways, from helping relieve anxiety before deposition, to supporting me through intense crying jags as traumatic events were relived, to making sure all documents were filed correctly, and understanding the intricacies of my case. I never felt overwhelmed when she was in my corner. I always felt she was listening, understanding, and cared about everything related to my case, almost as if it were the only case she had, when I knew she had more. When I had a question (and I had many), she always took the time to clearly answer every one of them in a thoughtful manner. She is smart, articulate, caring, and she was always available when I wanted to talk or text. I would not hesitate to use her again, and I would highly recommend her.

I hired Tim when my disability carrier was stalling in paying my disability claim. I am an attorney, and had years of experience hiring and supervising other attorneys. I reached out to other attorneys I knew in Denver for a recommendation for this type of case, and heard back from two whose opinion I most respect that Tim was the right choice. They were absolutely right. It wasn't just that Tim won (which he did), or even that he won when I probably would not have (which is also true), it was that the briefing was exceptional. I know a good attorney when I see one, and Tim is one of the best that I've ever worked with. It is easy to hire the wrong attorney, especially if you have no idea what you're up against with these evil insurance companies. What I can tell you is that every aspect of my representation was handled at the highest level. Tim was absolutely the best hire of my career, when it mattered the most.

He is compassionate and listens well making this wrongful death process bearable over the few years we worked together. While I've told him and his firm I had wished we never met (due to the circumstances of an innocent victim's death), I'm surely happy with my choice in representation.

I suffered a spine injury as the result of a T-bone car crash, the other driver at fault. We got nothing but gutter-ball offers from her insurance company. What you hear on the radio is true – the insurance companies simply will not take your case seriously until you file a suit. This is where I was glad to have Ken and his team on my side. The burden to convince a jury of my losses lies with me the plaintiff, which then requires conducting extensive research, gathering and organizing supporting documents. After Ken submitted all of this material during the pre-trial discovery the insurance company decided to make a reasonable settlement offer.

I was hit by a drunk driver several months ago and had serious injuries. I wouldn't have thought of contacting a lawyer until both insurance companies, mine and other driver's, asked for recorded interviews with me. I didn't want to take a chance on saying something that would jeopardize my claim. A friend referred me to Mike Keating. He and his associate, Deidre Ostrowski, represented me throughout the process of settling my claim. I received more money than I could ever have expected. But that is only part of the story. In working through the process, I had to deal with two auto insurers, my health insurance company, two health care providers, the ambulance company, the towing company and Medicare. Amy, staff member with the firm, took care of the paperwork and kept me well informed throughout the process. She really had to educate me, since this was my first experience with such a claim. She was incredibly patient, always pleasant and very efficient. Overall, I felt that Mike and Deidre represented me very effectively, and I recommend them and the firm to anyone in a similar situation.

What an Insurance Lawyer Can Do for You

An insurance lawyer specializes in legal issues related to insurance policies and claims. These lawyers help individuals, businesses, and insurance companies navigate disputes involving insurance coverage, claim denials, bad faith claims, and policy interpretation. Insurance lawyers can represent policyholders who feel they've been unfairly denied coverage, or they can work on behalf of insurance companies to defend against fraudulent or inflated claims.

Whether you're filing a claim, disputing a denial, or dealing with complex coverage issues, an insurance lawyer can provide critical guidance and legal representation to protect your rights and ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to under your policy.

When Should I Hire an Insurance Lawyer?

Hiring an insurance lawyer is advisable in several situations, particularly when disputes arise over insurance coverage, claim denials, or bad faith actions. Common reasons to hire an insurance lawyer include:

  • Denied insurance claims: If your insurance company denies your claim, a lawyer can help determine whether the denial was justified or if you should challenge the decision.
  • Bad faith insurance practices: If you believe your insurer has acted in bad faith, such as delaying payment or failing to properly investigate your claim, a lawyer can help you pursue legal action.
  • Underpaid claims: If the insurance company has offered less compensation than you believe your claim is worth, a lawyer can negotiate for a higher payout or file a lawsuit.
  • Coverage disputes: When there's ambiguity or disagreement about what your policy covers, a lawyer can provide clarity and advocate for your rights under the policy.
  • Business insurance claims: If you own a business and are dealing with commercial insurance claims (e.g., property damage, liability, or professional indemnity), a lawyer can help ensure your business receives proper coverage.
  • Third-party claims: If you're being sued for liability and your insurance company refuses to defend or indemnify you, an insurance lawyer can help enforce your coverage rights.
  • Appealing long-term disability claims: If your disability insurance claim has been denied, a lawyer can assist in gathering evidence and appealing the decision to get the benefits you deserve.

What Does an Insurance Lawyer Do?

An insurance lawyer provides a wide range of services to assist with insurance-related legal issues. These can include:

  • Reviewing insurance policies: A lawyer can review your insurance policy to ensure you understand your rights and obligations, as well as clarify what coverage is provided.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting with the preparation and filing of claims to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Challenging claim denials: If your claim has been denied, a lawyer can investigate the reasons for denial and file appeals or lawsuits to challenge the decision.
  • Litigating bad faith claims: Representing clients in bad faith insurance cases, where the insurer fails to act in good faith by unfairly delaying, denying, or underpaying a valid claim.
  • Negotiating settlements: Helping policyholders negotiate settlements with insurance companies to receive fair compensation for claims.
  • Defending against fraudulent claims: Representing insurance companies to defend against false or exaggerated claims filed by policyholders or third parties.
  • Handling disputes over policy language: Interpreting complex insurance policies and resolving disputes between the insured and the insurer regarding coverage limits, exclusions, and conditions.

How Are Insurance Lawyers Paid?

Insurance lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the nature of the case and the type of insurance issue involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Contingency fee: For many policyholders disputing claim denials or underpayments, lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means the lawyer only gets paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (usually between 25% and 40%) of the recovered amount.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing legal issues, such as bad faith lawsuits or business insurance disputes, insurance lawyers may charge an hourly rate. This rate varies depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler matters, such as reviewing an insurance policy or helping file a claim, some lawyers charge a flat fee for their services.
  • Retainer: For businesses or clients with ongoing legal needs, an insurance lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment for future services.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does an Insurance Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an insurance lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the payment structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, you won’t pay any fees upfront, but the lawyer will take a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or judgment awarded.
  • Hourly rates: Hourly rates for insurance lawyers generally range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Complex cases involving bad faith or high-value business claims may require significant hours, leading to higher legal costs.
  • Flat fees: For specific services, such as reviewing an insurance policy, lawyers may charge a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
  • Retainers: Businesses or individuals seeking ongoing insurance legal services may pay a retainer, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the lawyer and scope of work.

Make sure to discuss costs and payment structures with your lawyer before proceeding to understand how much the services will cost.

Before hiring an insurance lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What experience do you have with insurance law?
    Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases involving your type of insurance, whether it’s auto, health, home, or business-related.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer works on contingency, hourly rates, or flat fees, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What is your success rate with insurance disputes?
    Ask about the lawyer’s track record in winning or settling cases similar to yours.
  4. What are my chances of success?
    A good lawyer will provide an honest assessment of your case’s strengths and weaknesses and outline the possible outcomes.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of how long it will take to resolve your claim or dispute, as some cases can extend over months or even years.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case.

How to Check the Credibility of an Insurance Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable insurance lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
  • Review their experience in insurance law: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in insurance law and have experience with cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Search for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and professionalism.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have dealt with similar insurance issues.
  • Check for industry memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Bar Association’s Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS) can indicate the lawyer’s focus on insurance law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with an insurance lawyer, come prepared with the following documents and information:

  • A copy of your insurance policy: Bring the policy related to your claim or dispute so the lawyer can review the coverage details.
  • Any correspondence with the insurance company: Provide copies of letters, emails, or other communications between you and your insurer regarding the claim or denial.
  • Proof of claim and supporting documents: Bring any documentation you have submitted with your claim, including receipts, invoices, photos, medical records, or repair estimates.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions you want to ask about your case, the legal process, and the potential outcomes.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the incident that led to the claim and any steps you’ve taken with your insurance company.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can ensure that the lawyer has all the information they need to assess your case and provide the best legal advice.
