               When You Decide You Need Help....


When you've been seriously injured or disabled then you may have a claim in Colorado Workers Compensation or for Social Security Disability. We're highly experienced and dedicated to doing what must be done for our clients to obtain benefits
. We only handle workers compensation and disability claims and only represent injured workers!



     Colorado workers compensation is not an easy process to be involved with. There are deadlines, doctors, problems and fears. The law is a maze of rules and cases that may defy common sense. But the most important thing to realize is that your goal is to get well,  get paid and be able to return to work if at all possible. If not, then your future concerns must be addressed so you are highly compensated. The insurance company has a different agenda. It wants your claim closed at the least expense. They may even contest your claim (that happens 25% of the time).  But an experienced attorney can and will seek to maximize your benefits. It means making sure your medical, financial and legal benefits are fully provided to you.  Your attorney takes charge of the legal battles but when possible negotiates and seeks reasonable solutions. So when you go through this you are not alone...you have professional representation when you most need it. Does it work? YES! Over and over again we've successfully sought and obtained more medical care and increased benefits for our clients. See our recent Successful Cases page. Despite the fact there are no guarantees in this area our clients receive dedicated and experienced professional help. It's our highest mission!



     For those facing long term disability and financial loss from health problems there are Social Security Disability benefits. Yet it involves a crush of paperwork and delays. Most people seeking benefits are denied them. DO NOT GIVE UP! You may well be eligible and entitled to benefits. When we take a case we'll navigate that maze and use the rules and law to help you obtain all the benefits you are allowed by Social Security law. If it takes a hearing we'll handle it but sometimes just becoming involved and supplementing your evidence may avoid that hearing. 



     Are we successful? Yes. We are only successful by obtaining benefits for our clients. We are paid fees by contingency so we're paid when our clients are paid. We win by making sure you win. But it is not really about winning.  We also seek to help our clients obtain all the medical benefits they are entitled to in their claim. We strive for maximum benefits for all our clients and we've done so for over 25 years. When you need us call (719) 596-8900. Free consultations are always offered when the appointment is set by us.



   So further explore this website for more details and helpful hints. We do have the usual disclaimer detailed below that for specific and personal legal advice use an attorney not a website. Call us or call another but call an attorney!
