Services
I was born and raised in the oil fields of Baytown, Texas.
As a kid I used to climb to the top of oil derricks with friends where we could see oil tankers coming in from the Gulf to deliver or pick up their loads along the Houston ship channel.
It was a region of Texas which was heavily industrial and my friends and classmates came from predominantly blue-collar families.
Shortly after completing law school I served as a felony prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney's Office in Houston, Texas.

Under Colorado law, most workers injured on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits for lost wages.
Colorado has a "no-fault" workers' compensation statute.
That means that the injured worker is entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits even if an accident occurred because of your own mistake.
There may be limits or penalties to benefits if you intentionally violate a safety rule, but generally, an injured worker is entitled to collect all work comp benefits even if the accident was something you might have avoided.

Even minor injuries can have major medical complications if you do not receive the right medical treatment.
Let's face it: the most important aspect of your Colorado workers' compensation case is receiving the quality care you need to assist you in returning back to the best medical condition possible.
You will be supporting yourself and your children for years to come, so the quality of your medical care is No. 1 on your list of priorities, right?
In Colorado, your employer has the right to select the physician who will provide treatment for you.

A contingent fee is an arrangement that permits the injured worker to obtain legal representation without having to pay the workers' comp attorney a retainer, and without having to advance court costs.
The attorney advances the court costs, and the attorney's fee is deferred until you begin to receive monetary benefits.
When the case is concluded, court costs and the remainder of the attorney's fee are taken out of the settlement money you receive.
This makes it possible for a person with little or no means to hire an attorney to secure representation for a valid claim that needs to be pursued.
