I would highly recommend using Chris Theisen and his team to represent you for your auto accident case. For the past 3 years Chris and his team have been dedicated to ensuring that my health and care after my accident was their top priority. They were transparent and available to answer any questions that I had along the way. Chris was persistent and highly skilled when settlement discussions first occurred. He worked hard to make sure that my case was settled for an amount that would be able to cover the cost of continued care for the rest of my life. He didn’t disappoint. Chris is an amazing lawyer, who takes time to get to know his clients and puts their best interest first. If you are looking for a lawyer who you can trust and count on to deliver, Chris Theisen is your pick.

We were denied claim by a public and fortune 500 insurance company, suffering hundreds of thousands of dollars in casualty loss.
Chris was able to find key points that the insurance company had violated by not paying the claim. He was patient with us, and very compassionate. Communications were very prompt and clear. After nearly 4 years (partially due to COVID delays), we were able to get reasonable settlement close to our damages. We strongly recommend Chris to help with any insurance-related cases.
