Kyle Bachus won his first argument in front of the state supreme court when he was only 17 years old.. As a junior in high school, Kyle attended a Florida state legislation day for Florida high school students. As part of the day’s activities, he was selected to argue a predetermined topic in front of a panel of licensed lawyers sitting on a mock supreme court. He was provided with appropriate documentation, and tasked with researching and preparing his argument. Selected as one of the best presenters of the day statewide, he was both surprised and inspired.. Once he decided on a career in law, there was no stopping him. The determination his opponents see in the courtroom today was nurtured in college, where he dedicated himself to excelling. Once he graduated with his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Florida College of Law, he began work the Monday after graduation in a plaintiff’s personal injury law firm, a natural fit for a man who had always identified with the underdog.. Kyle moved to Colorado in 1994 and joined a Denver personal injury law firm. Two years later, Kyle and fellow lawyer Darin Schanker opened Bachus & Schanker, LLC with little more than a tiny, rented office and a lot of determination. Starting with less than $15,000, their business has grown into one of the largest, most well respected personal injury firms in the region. The partners are committed to understanding the circumstances confronting their clients, and ensuring that responsible parties are held accountable for damages they have caused.. COLORADO’S MOST TRUSTED LAW FIRMThe firm continues to focus on personal injury law but over the years the practice has expanded its practice groups, which now include national plaintiff’s litigation addressing a variety of Defective Medical Devices, Products and Dangerous Drugs, Workers’ Compensation, Social Security Disability and Wage and Hour class action work along with all other forms of plaintiff’s employment law.. Over the years, Kyle has achieved justice for many clients. But helping one of the emergency medical responders who suffered disabling injuries in the 9/11 attacks is one of the most inspiring wins. Kyle was one of just two Colorado attorneys traveling at their own expense to provide pro bono legal services to 911 victims and their families through the national Trial Lawyers Care program.. He also is proud of the state and national legislation he has worked on to protect Colorado consumers. Kyle intuited early on that the best way to fight injustice is to understand the rules and legal principles that govern our society. Because of this deep understanding, he has been able to help change state laws to benefit all Colorado residents.. LEGAL EXPERIENCE IN COLORADOKyle participated heavily in drafting and seeking passage of Colorado House Bill 10-1168, also known as the Make Whole bill, which was signed into law in May 2010. This bill protects injury victims from having to reimburse many health insurance plans for medical costs out of injury settlements before being fully compensated. The law applies to victims who where not at fault, and who were injured by the act or negligence of a third party. The Make Whole doctrine requires that the injured party is first fully compensated or “made whole” before the health insurance company may seek subrogation or reimbursement.. Additionally, Kyle was instrumental in the drafting and passage of an important amendment to Colorado’s Uninsured Motorist Statute, Colorado Revised Statute 10-4-609, which became effective Jan. 1, 2008. The amendment initially drafted by Kyle significantly impacts important “safety net” insurance coverage that is available when injured by an uninsured or under-insured driver. The Amendment closes insurance company loopholes that prevented consumers from receiving the full benefits they thought they were buying when purchasing UM/UIM coverage in Colorado. Every UM/UIM automobile insurance policy issued or renewed in Colorado on or after Jan. 1, 2008 is affected by this very important change.. Active in a number of professional organizations, Kyle is a highly rated in industry publications by both peers and those he has represented. He is a frequent speaker and guest lecturer in the legal industry.. In 2005, Kyle was appointed to serve as the co-chair of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association Auto Litigation Committee, a position he continues to hold. He has also been named by the national legal publication Lawdragon as one of “The Top 500 Leading Personal Injury Lawyers in America.” In addition, since its inception in 2007, Kyle has been named every year to the list of Colorado Super Lawyer as well as to the list of “Colorado’s Top Lawyers” in the field of plaintiff’s personal injury law. In 2013, Kyle led the Bachus & Schanker, LLC trial team that achieved the largest personal injury verdict in the State of Colorado in 2013. Additionally, Law Week named Kyle the Top Class Action Lawyer in Colorado in 2014.

If you ask Sean why he does personal injury work, this is the story he tells: "You know, I guess I’ve been picking fights with bullies since I was a kid. I was riding the bus home one day in middle school, and I saw another boy picking on someone about half his size. So, I stood up and told him what I thought of what he was doing. When we got off at our stop, he made it clear to me that we were going to have a fight about it. He was about a head taller than me. I don’t think I won, but I did get him to go away and leave us alone. That was a scary moment for me. But I’ve always been glad I spoke up.". About 20 years later, Sean is picking fights to help people who’ve been hurt due to the irresponsible acts of others. He’s accepted clients who were rejected by multiple other lawyers, brought their cases to trial, and won against long odds. He’s advised his clients to reject unjust settlement offers from some of the world’s largest and most powerful companies and forced those companies to pay far more than they said they would. In 2017, he helped a single mom who was permanently injured get justice from one of the largest grocery store chains in the country. The company offered only $250,000. Sean and his team obtained a jury verdict of $1.77 million. The case settled for $2.1 million after Sean and his team asked the court to add interest and costs and to increase the damages caps.. Sean’s willingness to fight means his clients often don’t have to. Sean and his team recently tried a case against a large insurance company and secured a judgment for hundreds of thousands of dollars – almost triple what the company offered to pay. That company now offers Sean’s other clients fairer settlements.. Sean and his team help people who have been injured in car, bike, vehicle vs. pedestrian, motorcycle, and truck accidents; people injured because of negligent property design, property cleaning, or property maintenance; people injured by dangerous products of all different categories; and people with a multitude of other types of personal injury claims.. Sean has also dedicated himself to helping improve the chances of personal injury victims throughout Colorado. He has accepted multiple invitations to speak about trial techniques at statewide meetings of the Colorado Trial Lawyers’ Association and other groups. He has testified in favor of fairer personal injury laws at the Colorado State Legislature. He loves working with other personal injury lawyers to help their clients achieve full justice, whether it’s talking through complex issues over the phone, sharing data about defense “expert” witnesses, or joining trial teams on tough cases as co-counsel.. But our job isn’t just about the results – our clients have often lost so much more than just the cost of their medical bills or the wages they couldn’t earn because they were hurt. Everyone at Dormer Harpring strives to live a balanced, full life because that’s what allows us to empathize with what our clients are going through. For Sean, the most important things in life are family, the mountains, and music. Sean was born and raised here in Colorado. He cherishes spending time with his wife and their dog and two cats. He loves to do just about anything in the mountains, from rock climbing, mountain biking, and skiing, to fly fishing, hiking, backpacking, and camping. He enjoys riding and working on his motorcycle. He likes to play his guitar and sing, but mostly just to himself.. If you’d like to see about having Sean help with your personal injury case, please give us a call at.
I started my legal career nine years ago in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as a solo practitioner helping clients with a broad range of problems including employment law claims, personal injury, family law and consumer law. The focus of my practice was primarily plaintiff-side litigation where I had the opportunity to help individuals and families stand up against entities that had a lot more money, power and presence than my clients. We live in a society where there are very few resources to help fight for justice and fight for a fair stake and even fewer job opportunities where you can earn a living fighting the good fight. Plaintiff-side legal work is one of the rare opportunities to earn a living fighting for a more just society.. As time went on and I refined my skills as a litigator I also refined the focus of my practice to spend less time on family law and consumer law and more time on employment law and personal injury. You don't have to drive far or watch much television in Texas to know there are a lot of personal injury attorneys but there are far fewer employment lawyers practicing plantiff-side who seriously delve into this highly technical area of law as more than a side hustle. I decided to narrow my practice to these two areas to better utilize my expertise and skills.. After spending thirty-five years in Texas my wife and I decided it was time for a new adventure and packed our bags and headed to Denver, Colorado. Once settled and licensed in Colorado I sought out employment with a firm. While I enjoyed the freedom of solo practice, I missed the commraderie of a larger workplace. Working in a larger firm meant more resources to tackle larger problems and more complex claims that are sometimes difficult to do from a single desk. I've spent my time here practicing exclusively personal injury, continuing to fight for plaintiffs against insurance companies who work very hard to take advantage of injured Coloradans.
I operate under the principle that clients always come first. Whether helping an accident victim recover compensation in a car accident case, truck accident case or injuries from nursing home neglect, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to exhausting every available resource to help my clients get the money they deserve. At the firm, I focus my practice on auto accidents, truck accidents, personal injury cases and workers’ compensation law. My trial results speak for themselves with verdicts ranging from 3.7 million in a nursing home negligence case to a $770,000 verdict against a trucking compnay. Both case were featured on the news.. I have been selected by my peers as having an "AV" rating and as a Super Lawyer. I have also been recognized as one of the top 100 trial lawyers in Colorado.. I have served as a guest lecturer in a variety of seminars and has served on the Board of the American Trial Lawyers Association in the past. My other professional affiliations include the Workers’ Compensation Education Association and The American Association of Justice. I provide regular instruction for other lawyers regarding car accident cases and workers’’ compensation.. I invite you to call me to discuss your situation at no cost.

Denver personal injury attorney Jerry Bowman believes in providing his clients with compassionate and dedicated personal attention. Having grown up on the east side of Detroit as one of seven children, Jerry learned early on about the principles of responsibility and accountability. While he maintained a very strong work ethic throughout his youth, Jerry truly cultivated his character when he attended Grand Valley State University on a swimming scholarship. For four years, Jerry competed at the highest level, breaking school records and ranking nationally.. Upon graduation, Jerry went to work for Congressman Peter Hoekstra in Washington, D.C. He studied political science throughout college and believed he wanted to be entrenched in the Nation’s capital, helping to change the fabric of America for the better. He soon learned, however, that he appreciated academia more than real world politics. Jerry returned to Detroit to attend Wayne State University Graduate School. In two years, Jerry received an M.A. in Political Science.. Shortly after graduating, Jerry relocated to Aspen, Colorado, to teach at Colorado Mountain Community College. Several years later, Jerry returned to Michigan, this time to attend Michigan State University College of Law. After graduating early (two and a half years), Jerry returned to Colorado with the goal to open his own law practice as a Denver personal injury lawyer.. Jerry has long appreciated the idea that victims of personal injury require help. He understands that being in a personal injury can be overwhelming and extremely stressful. Jerry believes that when a person causes an injury to an innocent victim, that person must be held accountable.. Jerry takes his responsibility to the legal profession seriously and dedicates much of his time and effort to providing quality and competent legal representation to clients in Denver and throughout all of Colorado. He is proud to say he has made a difference in how society treats victims of personal injury. Jerry enjoys coming to work every day because he sees that his work results in something positive for people who experienced something so negative. He strives to make sure every client understands their inherent value. Every case is unique and every client deserves to be handled with respect and attention to detail. If he cannot personally assist in a matter, he will use that same dedication to secure the most qualified attorney for the job.

Chris is an experienced trial lawyer and one of the founding partners of Make Right Law. He focuses his practice on serious personal injury and wrongful death claims as well as fire damage resulting from negligently started wildfires. He is a second-generation trial lawyer who literally grew up living in his father’s law firm which was on the first floor of Make Right Law’s current Texas office. Chris and his father, Tim Hoffman, lived upstairs above the law firm and Chris grew up working every job in the firm before going to college at the University of Texas where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy with Honors. He then went to the University of Texas Law School where he bested 63 fellow students to win the Thad T. Hutcheson 1st Year Moot Court Competition. He graduated near the top of his class in 1997 with Honors.. His first job out of law school was as a staff attorney for the Texas Department of Insurance where he pursued enforcement actions against insurance companies who violated Texas insurance laws. But after a year, the inevitable return to his father’s firm happened and he went to work for Hoffman, Sheffield & Sauseda where he worked until 2001 when he was made a partner and the firm became Hoffman, Sheffield, Sauseda & Hoffman, PLLC.. Chris’s first trial with the firm resulted in what, at the time, was the single largest medical malpractice verdict in Potter County history. Since then, he has been representing those who are the victims of reckless behavior and safety rule violations, including car wrecks, truck wrecks, medical malpractice, construction injuries, burn injuries and all manner of personal injury and wrongful death cases. Although Chris has represented a broad spectrum of people and families, his passion is representing children injured by negligence and families who have lost a child due to negligence. The strength of these children and their families in times of unspeakable tragedy has inspired Chris both personally and professionally to maintain a positive attitude and work hard to get the best results he can for all of his clients.. Chris is actively involved in several professional associations. He is the former President of the Panhandle Trial Lawyers Association and former Board Member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. Chris is also a member of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association participating in the Auto/Truck Injury and Medical Malpractice practice groups. Chris is a frequent contributor to four litigation forums where injury attorneys exchange ideas and assist one another. Chris’s peers included him as a Texas Rising Star in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011 and have named him a Texas Super Lawyer for 2024. Chris has earned the Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating, which signifies the highest level of professional excellence and ethical standards. His clients have frequently reviewed his services and on the strength of those reviews he has also been named a Platinum Client Champion.. In 2010, Chris became licensed in Colorado and his family moved to Denver, where he opened a second office for Hoffman, Sheffield, Sauseda & Hoffman. He actively practices law in both Texas and Colorado. In 2023, after his partners Tim Hoffman, Mike Sheffield, and J.E. Sauseda had transitioned to Of Counsel roles, Chris joined forces with distinguished trial lawyer Joe Lovell to form Make Right Law. The recent formation of Make Right Law has further energized Chris as he has added new fields of law to his repertoire including representing the victims of negligently caused wildfires.. Chris has two sons with whom he enjoys skiing, mountain biking, and hiking in the mountains of Colorado. He is passionate about music, playing guitar, attending live concerts whenever he gets the chance and spending time in front of his stereo listening to his collection of vinyl records. Chris’ motto as a trial lawyer is a rough paraphrase of a Maya Angelou poem: Rather than dwelling on accepting the things I cannot change; I prefer to change the things I cannot accept. He believes that while getting just compensation to his clients is tremendously important and sometimes life changing, the real aim of being a trial lawyer is to make things right for his clients by preventing what has happened to his clients from happening again, being a voice for his clients, helping his clients through some of the worst times of their lives, and holding those who are responsible for his clients’ injuries accountable. His desire to make it right for his clients, was the inspiration for the firm’s name, Make Right Law.
