The winning verdicts that I have provided on this website have been published with the permission of the Colorado Jury Verdict Reporter and I believe I am the only attorney that is giving you “proof positive” results in writing of documented wins. I challenge any lawyer in Colorado to do the same.

My trial record speaks for itself. I have consistently, through jury verdicts, obtained compensation for injured victims that was double, triple or even ten times more the low ball offer of the insurance company. The jury determined what was fair value.
