Please schedule a consultation if you need some help.
Having a disagreement with an insurance company can seem like a hopeless and impossible obstacle to overcome when you need treatment or help and they say no. Insurance companies aren’t always wrong, but when they are, it can turn whatever unfortunate situation you are dealing with into a lifelong setback. It can make a catastrophic situation for you or a loved one unimaginably worse by preventing the most optimal recovery. You need someone who knows what they’re doing and how to do it. You need Kurt Henkel.
For years, Henkel was lead trial counsel for some of the biggest insurance companies in the country, defending them at trial when they did make good decisions, or helping them get to good decisions before it was too late. Few can say they have a similar number of jury trials or success rate, especially in Federal Court. Any lawyer who has not had that trial-tested experience on behalf of an insurance company, or spent countless hours evaluating insurance companies’ compliance with accepted industry standards, lacks insight and understanding. If he was good enough for the insurance companies to entrust the hardest cases brought directly against them, he’s up for your fight.
Kurt’s trial experience spans thirty years and includes hundreds of jury and bench trials since his days as a Deputy D.A. in metro Denver during the height of rampant gang and drug issues in the 90’s. He’s tried everything from triple homicides and serial rapists to complex real estate litigation and defamation cases. Most importantly, he cares about seeing justice prevail.
