About

Mike Fossenier was licensed to practice law in 1988. In his first years of practice, Mike worked on the Western Slope of Colorado, in a general civil litigation firm, having his first jury trial within months of obtaining his license to practice law. He was hired away from that firm by the nation's second largest insurance company and became Senior Trial Attorney for its Rocky Mountain Region; a position he held for over 5 years. Thereafter, Mike has decided to utilize his special skills and knowledge derived from working with insurance companies, to assist people who are hurt, seek fair and just compensation for injuries, damages and harm caused by others, whether they be people, companies or governmental entities. Because of his talent, Mike even finds himself occasionally hired by other lawyers and law firms to help them in trial, to add to their success in Court.Mike is a native to Colorado, having been born and raised in Grand Junction, on the Western Slope, graduating from Grand Junction High School in 1979. Having played college football and many years of rugby on the national level, Mike’s competitive drive will be put to use for your benefit.

I worked with Mike for about 2 years on an auto accident case. We were hoping to settle initially but had to file and set up for a court trial. 2 weeks before the court date Mike and another lawyer were able to negotiate a 6 figure outcome in my favor that all of us could agree upon. Mike is very caring and thorough. Trials are not always easy, but Mike has a way of keeping the peace, and dealing with all the emotions that come up, in a very caring and professional manner. i would recommend Mike anytime and anyone would be smart to choose him as their lawyer. Mike is great at communication and keeping everyone moving forward for what is needed. He was available even outside of normal hours, on occasions when talking to him immediately was needed. He stayed strong when emotions would get heated and was able to explain all that he was doing and how it would effect the lawsuit. Mike took his time to get to know me and my family so that he knew what we were about and handled us like we needed instead of the same as anyone else. His approach to the lawsuit was in line with what we as a family were needing and he made the time dealing with this lawsuit not so terrible. We will miss him though we are glad that we are done with our lawsuit and can move forward with our futures.

Mike is a real go getter. He accomplishef in three months what had not been done in three years. He kept me up to date on his progress and was honest with me about what to expect. His no nonsense approach is what I needed to cut through and have a better understanding of how the legal system and insurance companies work. I wish I had known him from the beginning of my case. He was able to get the maxium award for my injuries which I did not think was possible. I highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking compensation for injuries.

Mike helped with a case that really should have been "open and shut" but...it is never that easy. However, through his undying perseverance, he was able to finalize the case with a positive outcome. Thanks, Mike!

Michael stepped in to help me with a very difficult personal injury case. He is a kind and respectful person. I immediately felt comfortable with him. But let me say this, if you ever need a "Bull Dog" at the negotiating table, he is your man! His many years of experience with Insurance Companies finally got me a settlement after more than a three year battle. If you ever need someone to help you, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Michael is an amazing guy. He will work his ass off for you. The best thing about this guy is he “cares” about you. Michael, thank you for everything you did for me.

Mike not only met but exceeded my expectations with settling my auto accident claim. He really knows the process and I quickly came to trust his advice. He made the procedure very smooth for me and took away the anxiety I had regarding getting all the medical bills paid. Mike is always respectful, honest and very pleasant to deal with; but also he's not a push-over and he truly knows how to talk to the insurance companies and medical providers with my best interest at heart.

I was referred to Mike Fosseneir by other attorney's that weren't sure they could handle my injury case. First, Attorney Mike Fossenier is the definition of integrity, experience and professionalism. Throughout the time he spent on my case, he kept me well informed of everything occurring in my case and always attempted to keep my cost portion very low. He knows the law, rules and regulations, extremely well. Whenever the other side (insurance companies) tried to make false claims or invent their own rules, Mike immediately called them to task on their inappropiateness and never, ever let them try to intimidate me during any meetings, making a stressful situation, tolerable. I cant thank Attorney Mike Fossenier, enough for the end results and for the excellent manner in which my case was handled. I will always refer others to him when others are seeking justice!

Michael was recommended by a family member and I knew within a few minutes of our consultation that he was adept and tenacious. He took me through the entire process with professional care and trust. Michael is a skilled communicator and by phone or in meetings I was up-to-date with each step. I never went into a meeting or appointment unprepared. I knew going in that the case wasn't a big case, but both he and I wanted an equitable amount for my injury. His honesty and experience kept me centered in probability the entire time. I can't wait to recommend him to someone I know. This is an attorney with tenacity, compassion and a big heart.
