OUR PASSION IS JUSTICE.

WITH A PASSION FOR PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF CLIENTS, the attorneys at Bachus & Schanker focus exclusively on representation of individuals and families who suffer injury or death caused by negligent or reckless conduct of others. During the past 17 years they have built a firm that is known nationally for taking on wrongdoers and securing justice for people injured by the negligence of others.

EQUAL JUSTICE FOR INDIVIDUALS Founding partners Kyle Bachus and Darin Schanker started the firm to level the playing field between accident victims and large insurance companies.

“Our firm’s goal is to provide injury victims and their families
the same kind of dignity and quality representation that the
largest corporations and insurance companies receive from
their law firms,” says Bachus.

“In addition to representing clients, Bachus & Schanker advocates in the legislature and the community at large for the injured,” notes Schanker. “We are involved at the local, state and national level, fighting to protect the Constitutional right to a jury trial and to protect the rights of the injured.”

LEGAL LEADERS The firm’s partners have been selected for inclusion in Colorado Super Lawyers® for the past six years, and serve as officers and board members of local, state and national organizations that advocate for justice for the injured. Schanker is past-president of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association and Bachus is one of Colorado’s two elected representatives to the American Association for Justice’s Board of Governors.

GIVING BACK Supporting its mission to provide time and resources to those in need, the firm created the Bachus & Schanker Cares Foundation and has given more than $150,000 to local charities in just the past three years. The firm’s attorneys and staff contribute their time and expertise and other resources to charitable organizations throughout Colorado.

KNO WLEDGE Our lawyers have many years of experience representing the injured, and in just the past three years Bachus & Schanker has obtained more than $75† million in verdicts and settlements for our Colorado clients.
