Here are 10 ways we’ll work hard for YOU – and why we get results.

You get results-driven, fierce legal representation.
We’re your powerhouse legal team, with 99% of our practice devoted to litigation. Machelle established The Gielarowski Law Firm more than 20 years ago, specializing in personal injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Social Security disability cases. We’ve been serving Colorado Springs, the Pikes Peak Region, and southern Colorado with committed, compassionate, and results-driven legal work since 1996.

You’ll meet with – and get to know – your attorney.
Did you know that, in bigger law firms, clients may never meet with their attorney? We take pride in being accessible to our clients. When you work with us, you’ll get personal, attentive service from the ENTIRE legal team including your lawyer: Machelle Gielarowski.

We’ll conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the facts of your case.
Our clients are often surprised – and impressed – by our detective skills! We thoroughly investigate the facts of your case. Gathering a preponderance of evidence empowers us to prove and win your personal injury, Workers’ Compensation, or Social Security disability case.

You’re never in the dark.
We believe “Knowledge is power AND it’s comfort.” We want you to have access to the information you need, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We’ll keep you in the loop, so you’ll have the full facts of your case, every step of the way. When you work with a personal injury attorney, you should never feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or abandoned. Remember, we are here for you.
It’s our job to ensure you get the benefits
you are entitled to receive.
An insurance company may tell you, “We’re taking care of you; you don’t need a lawyer.” That simply is not true! In fact, that statement is a BIG red flag. No insurance company will pay $1 more than they absolutely have to. Their job is to pay out as little as possible, so they can pad their bottom line. If you don’t have an attorney, they have you up against a wall, uninformed and powerless.
Unfortunately, a lot of people believe a myth that sounds something like this: “If I hire an attorney, I’ll have to pay substantial fees – I won’t get more, I’ll get less.” In reality, insurance companies generally pay out MUCH MORE when an attorney is involved. Why? Because they know that we know. In other words, the insurance company knows attorneys understand the true value of a claim. We know the statutes and rules, and we track every jury verdict for accident injuries in the State of Colorado.

When you hire The Gielarowski Law Firm, we’ll determine the actual value of the benefits or award that you’re entitled to receive, not the meager amount the insurance company wants you to believe.

You’ll work with a caring, compassionate, all-female team.
When clients come to our office, they may be hurting from an injury and trying to deal with a pile of medical bills. They may have lost their job, or are afraid of losing their job. They may be suffering from an auto accident or other life-altering event. When you come into this office, you need to speak with competent, capable professionals. And you need a caring, compassionate team that will listen to you, encourage you, and go to bat for you.

No hype. No false promises.
Too many personal injury law firms set unrealistic expectations with their clients. During the first meeting, they might confidently announce: “Your case is worth $100,000.” In the end, your settlement or benefit amount might be far less. The truth is, no one knows what a case is worth until we conduct an investigation, uncover the facts, and determine the severity of your injuries. For example, what is the full extent of your injuries? Do you need surgery? After surgery, will you be able to return to work? We cannot determine the value of your case (the potential settlement or benefit amount) until we diligently uncover all the facts.

You get highly personalized service.
We hear horror stories from our clients about their negative experiences with other legal teams in Colorado Springs or southern Colorado. Their case was shuffled among overworked staff members, their phone calls weren’t returned, and they NEVER met with their attorney (certainly not the firm owner). They felt unimportant, and their case ground to a halt. We’re a small team, and we promise: We’ll work hard for you, and you’ll never be lost in the shuffle!

You’ll enjoy our friendly office environment.
When you hire a lawyer, it’s important you actually like the attorney and staff – and you feel comfortable in their office. When you come to our office, you’ll appreciate the convenient downtown location, comfortable office environment in a turn-of-the-century Victorian house, and free parking. Icing on the cake: You’ll love our greeting committee, Willow and Nukka!

You don’t pay us anything unless you win.
All of our personal injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Social Security disability cases are done on a contingency basis. This means we only get paid if we win your case. On a related note, we never disclose the settlement or benefit amount our clients receive. Also, did you know some law firms require their clients to provide testimonials? We do NOT require our clients to provide testimonials. Our clients give us testimonials because of the positive results they receive. They believe in us, and they want to let others know The Gielarowski Law Firm will work hard for YOU.
