McDivitt Law Firm

History and Leadership

• McDivitt Law Firm began in 1974, when Mike and Karen McDivitt started a practice founded on the belief that everyone deserves equal access to the civil justice system.
• From the beginning, Mike McDivitt made it clear that he would not get a fee unless he was able to recover money for injured clients.
• In 2007, their son David McDivitt, a nationally recognized trial lawyer, joined the firm. He leads the firm's litigation and trial group, trying and supervising jury trials through verdict.

Over the decades, the firm has grown into one of Colorado's prominent personal injury practices, with more than 60 staff and attorneys.

Mission

McDivitt's mission is to level the playing field for people who have been injured or harmed through no fault of their own.

• The firm's goal is to help injured people gain meaningful access to the civil justice system.
• McDivitt brings the resources of a large firm to individual clients, so injured people can stand up to insurance companies and other powerful opponents.

Core Values

McDivitt's work is guided by a set of core values that shape how the firm treats clients and approaches every case:

• Integrity – Clear advice and straight answers; honesty and transparency in all interactions.
• Passion – Going above and beyond for clients and pursuing meaningful results.
• Professionalism – Prepared, efficient, and respectful representation; clear communication and follow‑through.
• Empathy – Listening carefully and understanding each client's experience and needs.
• Respect – Treating every person with dignity and without judgment.
• Teamwork – Leveraging a collaborative, team‑based approach to deliver consistent, high‑quality service.
• Experience – Using the firm's decades of experience to anticipate issues and navigate complex cases.
• Compensation – Aligning the firm's interests with clients through contingency‑based representation (the firm does not get paid unless it recovers compensation for the client).

McDivitt Law Firm emphasizes:

• Personal attention and a team‑based approach on every case
• Free, no‑obligation consultations
