IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Over 40 years ago, our law firm, most recently known as Purvis Thomson, LLC opened. For the last forty years, there have been many changes. I have spent my entire legal career here with this great law firm. Thanks to the wonderful team of attorneys and staff that I have worked with for many years, we have had great success. That great success has continued throughout the entire history of the firm.  

Recently, an exciting opportunity was offered to me to join the law firm of Hutchinson Black and Cook, LLC (“HBC”), another terrific and well-known law firm in Boulder. I decided to accept that offer. Accepting the offer was made easy because I was able to bring along with me most of the team I have had over these last few years at Purvis Thomson.

This is not only good news for our team, but we believe strongly that it is even better news for our clients and future clients. We will continue to provide the same high standard of representation for all of our current and future clients. We are now part of an even larger team. 

During my time at Purvis Thomson, which goes back to 1992, I have always been so proud of the work we did fighting on behalf of people against insurance companies and other big corporations. A host of legendary attorneys and wonderful people have called this place their office. Many of them had their names on the letterhead. All of whom I was proud to work with. 

For decades, we have fought for the rights of injured Colorado residents and advocated aggressively to secure the resolutions that they deserve, whether by settlement or presenting their case to a jury. That commitment will continue at HBC. Please visit the HBC website for more information on the work we do.

Warmest Regards, Mike Thomson

We will help you understand the value of your severe personal injury claims.

Why do you
need a personal
injury lawyer?

Navigating the personal injury process after a recent injury can be a challenge. Any errors or missed deadlines can impact your ability to recover the compensation you deserve, and you will need to meet certain criteria in order to prove your eligibility for damages. In these situations, you need an attorney on your side—and the lawyers at Purvis Thomson, LLC can help.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent your claim can provide several benefits to your case, including the following:

  • Your lawyer will handle all negotiations on your behalf, advocating for your best interests during discussions with the insurance company or the defense’s legal counsel.
  • Your attorney will conduct an in-depth investigation into your accident and leverage our firm’s resources to build a convincing case in your favor.
  • In many cases, expert witness testimony is required to prove certain facts. Our firm has developed a network of experts we can enlist to support your lawsuit.
  • You may not understand the full extent of your damages. Your attorney will identify all possible avenues to compensation and accurately calculate your estimated award, helping you avoid an insufficient settlement.
  • Your lawyer will understand the litigation process and will have decades of experience representing cases similar to yours. He or she will analyze your case and identify the fastest and most effective path to secure maximum compensation.
“When John walked into the room,
you knew things would get done. He was kind
and straightforward.”
John of Purvis Thomson met with us surprisingly quickly after we made our first contact. When he walked into the room, you knew things would get done. John was kind and straightforward. Clear in explaining our legal situation, it was evident John understood the the system we were working in and had a game plan in mind even before the meeting ended...

“I can’t thank him and his team enough.”
Thank You! I hired Mr. Thomson two years ago after being beat up pretty good in a Car Accident. He was not only kind and caring through the entire process, but he made sure he fought for me every step of the way. He also made sure I had the proper testing and treatments going on. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

“Accomplished and Compassionate”
Mike Thompson was tirelessly proactive as an attorney regarding cases surrounding the injury of our son, who was shot in a drive-by 17 years ago. His personable demeanor and compassion really helped us through the emotionally draining experience, and with a positive outcome. Years later, he still keeps in touch and even voluntarily accompanied us to a parole hearing for the person who shot our son. Just for support! I would not hesitate to recommend Mike Thompson as an accomplished and compassionate personal injury attorney.
