Denver Trial Lawyers

What Denver Trial Lawyers does

Denver Trial Lawyers® is a privately held personal injury law firm founded in 2003 and headquartered at 4601 DTC Boulevard, Suite 950, Denver, Colorado. The firm represents injured individuals against insurance companies and corporations on a contingency fee basis, with practice areas spanning car, truck, and motorcycle accidents; medical malpractice; birth injury; wrongful death; catastrophic injury; defective products; sex abuse and Title IX; insurance bad faith; and premises liability. Client acquisition is sales-led, driven by SEO-optimized practice-area pages, a long-running blog, a video demonstrative evidence library, and earned media placements. The firm generates revenue through contingency fees (a percentage of settlement or verdict), with no fees owed by clients unless the case is won.

The team comprises eight named attorneys supported by paralegals, investigators, nurse practitioners, and litigation technology specialists, with over 175 years of combined legal experience. Key partners Stephen W. Wahlberg and David S. Woodruff have secured multiple record-setting verdicts in Colorado and nationally, including a $490 million sexual abuse settlement (University of Michigan/Dr. Robert Anderson) and a $70 million medical malpractice arbitration award. The firm does not disclose financial information, has no parent company or external funding, and operates as a single-office Colorado practice, though it has taken on cases with national impact.

The firm uses demonstrative evidence and litigation technology for case preparation and trial presentation, and holds a registered trademark (Denver Trial Lawyers®). It has received sustained industry recognition, including Best Law Firm and Best Lawyers designations through 2026, Million Dollar Advocates Forum membership, and National Top 100 Trial Lawyers recognition. The practice relies on the trial-readiness of its attorneys as leverage in settlement negotiations, having tried more than 100 cases with reported extraordinary results.
