Workers' compensation & social security attorneys

Do I Need an Attorney?

If you have a legal problem, you should see a competent attorney in your state regarding your situation. Although the Internet can be a wonderful resource, a qualified attorney who specializes in the area in which you seek information is still the best way to get the information you need and deserve. In addition, our attorneys generally work on a contingency basis, where they will get paid only if you win your case.

Some Things to Consider When Deciding Whether or Not You Need an Attorney:

  • The legalities of the Colorado Workers' Compensation and Social Security disability systems are so complex, that retaining a qualified attorney helps you level the playing field which ensures that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries or disabilities.
  • The Colorado Division of Workers' Compensation consistently reports that settlements are higher when you have an attorney working for you.
  • You cannot trust your employer or insurance company to look out for your best interests. Their goal is to provide the absolute minimum benefits possible on each claim. Your employer and insurance company already have lawyers working for them, and they know far more about the Colorado workers’ compensation system than you do. They hope that you’ll miss a deadline you don’t know about, or that you won’t ask for a benefit that you are entitled to.
  • In the year 2000, the national winning-percentage for Social Security claimants who had an attorney was 63%, compared to 40% for people who did not have an attorney. The success rate of our firm is well above the national average, at 85-90%.
  • When you hire an experienced lawyer to handle your case, you will find that the fee paid is well worth it.
  • In short, you have everything to lose by not seeing an attorney!
