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.

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

• The Colorado Workers' Compensation, Social Security and Veterans' disability systems are very complex, and hiring a qualified attorney ensures that you receive maximum compensation for your injuries or disabilities.

• The Colorado Division of Workers' Compensation consistently reports that workers' compensation settlements are higher when you have an attorney working for you.

• The national winning-percentage for Social Security claimants who have an attorney is 63%, compared to 40% for people who did not have an attorney. The success rate of Spencer & Spencer is well above the national average, at 98%.

• We understand that it is a difficult decision to hire a lawyer, but if you have been injured you need someone with experience to level the playing field. You may face an uphill battle against an insurance company or government agency with seemingly endless legal resources and a desire to stop you at every turn.

• 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 workers' comp 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.

• When you hire an experienced lawyer to handle your case, you will find that the fee paid is well worth it.

• Our attorneys generally work on a contingency basis, where they will get paid only if you win your case.
