Angela McGraw handled my case with utmost care and professionalism. She was thorough in gathering all the details placing much care in the investigation of my case with both insurance companies involved. Ongoing communication was handled responsively and in a timely manner. Angela was sensitive, compassionate and interested in how I was progressing with my medical care. I felt supported by Angela and her team all the way through to the closing of my case. I would hire her again if ever I needed to. She has my highest recommendation.

Angela walked me through every step of my auto claim case, fighting hard for justice to be served. It took time, but it was worth it in the end. She understood on a personal level what I continue to experience, I knew I was in great hands.

He really cares about his clients goals. I needed to get a lawyer in my business dispute case and Alan was called. It turned out I made a really good decision, because he researched the law told me what to do. The case was solved soon after that. I'd hire him again and I would recommend his office to any one.

After talking to several lawyers I came to the conclusion that Attorney Alan Jimenez would be the best for my family. He is my lawyer on a personal injury case. I refer him to all my friends and family for any legal question, because of his many years experience. He answers all my legal questions directly. Sometimes he refers us to other lawyers from his many connections. I never had to speak to someone else about my case. I give him a great review and will use him again.

Mr. Jimenez helped me on a case that went to court about a month ago. He gave me good legal advise that resolved my problem. His office is small but I think that is better than the big TV lawyers. I would recommend him, because he will answer your questions in clear way so you understand the law and you will get good advise to know what to do. He returns calls very quickly and that was important to me. Many others lawyers never returned may call when I needed to hire them.

I retained this firm for a family law case. The attorneys assigned to me at Susan Fuller's firm in November 2017 were desperately trying to come up with a deal. At the end they said that the opposing attorney said I had breached a contract and that she wasn't saying what that was and if I can think of anything wrong I did. I couldn't think of anything but mentioned that I had medical staff explain something to my ex-husband instead of explaining it myself. My own attorney said you shouldn't have done that and forced me to take a deal that was unfair and wrong for me and still pay consequences for this. I went back a year later for a free consultation bc I was having further issues due to this deal. It was supposed to be a 1 hour consultation, the lady was 45 minutes late, she said she couldn't give me any info bc she didn't have my chart in front of her and said it'd cost me $5k to retain her. I was out the door about 5 minutes before my consultation was over because she had a meeting she had to get to on time which shows how important I am to them. Susan Fuller may be great, but I had an awful experience with the staff at this firm.

From the first moment I met Susan I knew she was force to be reckoned with. I sincerely appreciated that she would always explain the best and worst case scenarios throughout the entire process of my divorce. She would advise from a place of integrity and experience and was always right in her hypothesis of very complicated situations. I was never a billable hour, she knew me by name as did the entire team. I highly recommend her and any of her associates!

My experience with the Susan Fuller Law Firm had been exceptional! From the moment of my consultation throughout the completion of my case, the level of expertise and commitment to me, both professionally and personally, was delivered every step of the way. The level of caring and respect within the law firm definitely redounds to their clients. Their client attentiveness and support, team effort philosophy and brilliant attorneys ensures the client of the effort being put forth. Their strong trial experience resulted in a positive outcome for my case. I HIGHLY recommend the Susan Fuller Law Firm... an amazing group of attorneys and the nicest people you will ever meet!

Dan has helped me and my family through some of the most difficult times in the past 10 years. I was grateful for Dan's commitment and personal interest in my cases. He was always reachable and responsive reassuring me throughout the process. I never felt uniformed to unaware of the next steps or potential hang ups. He was always sensitive, thoughtful and detailed. The amount of time he spent with me even during my free consultations was impressive. I found the perfect balance between a knowledgable professional and a person who genuinely cares about your cases outcome!

Mr. Carr has helped me with several issues relating to Liquor Licenses in Denver.
If you are obtaining, transferring or modifying a license he comes to the table with years of experience, knowledge of the laws, procedures, policies, and people.
His office and staff are helpful.
He provides a calm and steady approach with results that have always matched my expectations.

I have hired Mr. Carr on two separate occasions over the last 15 years. I was extremely pleased with the results, and even more pleased with Mr. Carr's caring attitude and service. He was always available to answer my calls and address all of my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. It was amazing to work with an attorney who seemed to actually care for my well being and obtaining the best possible result for me and my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Carr to anyone needing quality service from a quality attorney.

I worked with Mike Kuhn, Paul Lewis, and Cameron Caldwell on a situation for a year. It was an incredibly stressful situation, but because of their partnership through the situation, I felt at peace. Mike, Paul, and Cameron were absolutely incredible every step of the way. Their experience and expertise were immediately evident. They are extremely responsive and give great care to their clients. I highly recommend them!

Nick one of the attorneys is in protection mode of his receptionist who was absolutely unprofessional ! Any attorney who believes his receptionist over a potential client is not a good attorney. Obviously this office wears Versace suits with Walmart shoes.

Erika and her team were amazing!! They went above and beyond in every way possible. Erika was always available to answer my questions no matter what time of day it was. She explained the process every step of the way and was a true advocate for my son and I. I knew she always had my back and she made what was possibly one of the most difficult times in my life, as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome and it's all because of Erika. She's professional, down to earth, relatable, crazy smart and the best at what she does. She is my knight in shinning armor and I will forever be grateful for everything she did for me!!

In the beginning it felt like this firm truly had my children's best interest at heart. My case played out for over 3 years. After "winning" at trial with further litigation to take place, I was struck with an uneasy feeling. I felt bullied into a settlement as the attorneys were fed up with my case. Many people had told me over the duration of my case that things weren't quite adding up and that my attorney did not seem to have our best interests at heart. I began to reflect on the case and all the inconsistencies, placating to the other side and capitulating to them as well. I then conferred with another attorney and ended up retaining her services to finish out my case. Upon the new attorney's review of my case, she stated this case was a mess, and she was flabbergasted at all the litigation that was allowed to take place. She mentioned there was a much more direct way to have gone about this case, less money and time wasted, not to mention my children's mental and emotional health. My worst feelings had been confirmed. It is a relief to finally have someone on my case who is truly for the children and not the money.

I did not provide him with the form he requested and he still accessed my private information. He's is currently being employed by Denver Health as a defense attorney. YOU CANT DO THAT PAUL!

I am an experienced lawyer, but no longer handle residential landlord/tenant litigation. When I needed help for a rental property I own, I knew I was not up to date on recent changes to Colorado landlord/tenant laws. Sal personally returned my call promptly and quickly drafted the necessary documents for me. It was a pleasure working with him.

My experience with CFI Kimberly Utesch in Colorado was highly disappointing. From start to finish, it was evident that Ms. Utesch lacked the competence and dedication necessary for her role. Throughout the investigation process, she seemed to simply phone it in, displaying a lack of thoroughness and professionalism. She often had an auto-reply email set up which made getting a hold of her very difficult. She refused to review any videos or relevant evidence because would not allow me to send these items through Dropbox, as the files were too large for email.
She conducted my "home visit" through Zoom. To make this even worse, when she called on Zoom to do the home visit she started to berate me and tell me that it was inappropriate that I had my child present for our interview. She seemingly forgot that this appointment was for the home visit that she had specifically asked me to have my child present. She then proceeded to turn her camera off and "watch us interact" for 30 minutes.
One of the most concerning aspects of Ms. Utesch's performance was her failure to interview ANY of the family members who had submitted questionnaires...... on either side of the family. This negligence not only demonstrates a lack of diligence but also raises serious doubts about the validity and fairness of her findings. How can a comprehensive investigation be conducted without gathering input from all relevant parties?
Furthermore, Ms. Utesch's overall competency was severely lacking. It was clear that she did not possess the necessary skills or knowledge to handle the complexities of the case. Her lack of attention to detail and apparent disinterest in the matter at hand only exacerbated the situation. To make things worse she then asked for more money at the end of her investigation. The ONLY thing my son's mother and I have ever agreed on is that Ms Utesch has no business being a CFI.
Less than a year after her report was completed, our judge allowed us to have another investigation completed. This report had DRASTICALLY different findings. Her entire report was a waste of time and money.
Overall, I would not recommend Ms. Utesch as a CFI based on my experience. Her subpar performance and lack of thoroughness do a disservice to the families relying on her expertise. I urge anyone seeking a competent and dedicated CFI to look elsewhere.

My wife Lora and I consider Ralph and the rest of his office to be LIFESAVERS! We had to fight to keep our home after the seller breached our contract & were literally trying to steal our home from us! During this INCREDIBLY stressful time, not only was Ralph always the voice of experience, counsel & reason, but also of comfort, allowing us to digest this ordeal with wisdom instead of emotion. Thank you Ralph & all at Cantafio Law! We will refer you to anyone in need of your services.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
