We represent employers and carriers on workers' compensation cases in every Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Utah and Wyoming venue, combining state-of-the-art legal knowledge with thorough preparation and aggressive litigation skills. We also handle appeals and subrogation claims, bringing to bear the same creativity that undergirds our trial work and drawing from our experience at pursuing recovery from third parties in District Court.
With new workers' compensation rules emerging every few months, we systematically keep up with changes and constantly alert one another concerning legislation, regulations and judges' rulings. Our familiarity with current rulings gives us a distinct advantage at hearing. Within the firm we meet regularly to discuss cases and exchange ideas. E mails fly constantly sharing news of recent rulings or gathering a variety of opinions on a specific legal question. We draw constantly from each other's expertise, enhancing our effectiveness through teamwork. It's the same with our clients -- lines of communication are always open. Clients enjoy easy accessibility to quick answers, an open-door policy, and noteworthy responsiveness when they call.
Our attorneys have excellent reputations in the legal and business community and distinguish themselves by their talent in analyzing cases. Properly screened and prepared cases can be won with surprising frequency. We recommend litigating only cases which are likely to be won and appealing only those cases which present genuine issues of law. By sticking to this philosophy, Ritsema & Lyon attorneys have earned credibility with the workers' compensation Administrative Law Judges. Ultimately this approach saves our clients money and treats claimants fairly.
