About

We buy insurance to protect us when something goes wrong. But, too often, when we ask insurance companies to protect us, they choose to protect their money instead. That's not right, and I'm dedicated to helping my clients hold insurance companies accountable so they don't put profits over people.Over the past decade, I've helped clients recover millions of dollars from all sorts of insurance companies: disability insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D), automobile insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance (UM/UIM), homeowners' insurance, business owners' insurance, commercial general liability insurance, boat owners' insurance, cancer insurance, health insurance, and even pet insurance. I've helped people resolve cases in state trial courts, federal trial courts, and the courts of appeal throughout Colorado. I'm experienced with both the federal ERISA laws and Colorado's unique insurance bad faith laws. I'm also proud to help people who have been injured through no fault of their own, like in car crashes, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-falls, and wrongful deaths. In each case, I work hard to tell my client's story, no matter what their injuries. Whether they're suffering from a broken bone, a traumatic brain injury, or the wrongful death of a loved one, I treat my clients like family to learn their human story, and I'm committed to obtaining full and fair compensation for the injuries forced on them by someone else. So, if you're in a fight with an insurance company, or if you or someone you love has been hurt or killed, I'm happy to talk with you about how I can help.

I hired Tim when my disability carrier was stalling in paying my disability claim. I am an attorney, and had years of experience hiring and supervising other attorneys. I reached out to other attorneys I knew in Denver for a recommendation for this type of case, and heard back from two whose opinion I most respect that Tim was the right choice. They were absolutely right. It wasn't just that Tim won (which he did), or even that he won when I probably would not have (which is also true), it was that the briefing was exceptional. I know a good attorney when I see one, and Tim is one of the best that I've ever worked with. It is easy to hire the wrong attorney, especially if you have no idea what you're up against with these evil insurance companies. What I can tell you is that every aspect of my representation was handled at the highest level. Tim was absolutely the best hire of my career, when it mattered the most.

I found Tim to be an outstanding legal professional. He took my case when other firms were not interested. Through his dedication to his clients we were able to file and win the case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding lawyer to represent you.

This firm handled my wife’s appeal when her LTD insurance carrier abruptly terminated her benefits. Tim Garvey represented her through the appeal process; he and his team were so helpful in gathering objective and accurate information for the appeal submission. There is no way we could have managed the process without their representation and still won the appeal. This firm is very thorough, organized and responsive.

McDermott Law and my attorney, Tim Garvey receive my highest recommendation. Mr. Garvey & Mr. McDermott were thorough, detail oriented, realistic, and passionate about their work. I also interviewed two other firms, but what stood out about McDermott and Mr. Garvey for me was the fact that this is the only type of law they specialize in. At the time I felt, and now have confirmation, they are the experts in Insurance Benefits and ERISA case law. By the time they started on my case, there was already a tremendous amount of correspondence, information, and context to sift through. Mr. Garvey and the team worked efficiently and collaborated with me to insure all information submitted in the appeal was correct. Most importantly, our appeal was successful, and I’m now receiving LTD benefits and corresponding treatment.

I hired Timothy because I was referred to him by a fellow attorney. Timothy ensured that my time was protected and that I was okay through the whole process. My case eventually settled, which was our goal from the beginning. My experience with Timothy did not involve any trial, but for depositions, meetings and the settlement talks, Timothy was an absolute pleasure to work with.
