What happened in my case was all new to me + time sensitive.  Dan connected with me immediately and explained the options, all while being concerned about how I was doing.  He finalized the matter in a best possible outcome.  Along the way Dan & Dianne kept me informed and answered every question that came up, I can't thank them enough.  (After a few rough experiences with attorneys over the years, I'd highly recommend the Gerash Steiner Blanton firm!)

Looking for an excellent criminal attorney? Look No Further — I highly recommend Shelby!

Shelby is professional, efficient, intelligent, and incredibly understanding. She helped put my mind at ease throughout a terrifying legal process and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had.
I’m truly grateful for the positive outcome she was able to achieve in my case. I can only hope the firm knows what a valuable asset Shelby is.
Thank you, Shelby, for all your hard work.

Dan + the team are genuinely the sweetest folks around. Dan went above and beyond to make my experience as painless as possible. Not only is he a good lawyer, but he's a good person, too. Not every lawyer is going to put this much care and kindness into his work, and it definitely makes this law firm stand out in my eyes as being different from the rest. Would recommend him/his team to anyone who asks!

I needed a lawyer to help me with a minor traffic accident which was my fault. I was charged with 3 incidences that might have resulted in the loss of my license.

Shelbi Danner an associate with Gerash Steiner P.C. came highly recommended by my trust attorney William Carpenter.
She gave me very clear instructions on what she needed from me in order to be able to represent me. She encouraged me to take a drivers safety class offered on line which showed I was being proactive.

Shelbi’s expertise got my case dismissed for which I am very grateful. I would highly recommend Shelbi Danner.

I cannot speak highly enough about how incredible Gerash, Steiner, and Blanton, P.C. are to work with! I was so lost, frustrated, and discouraged when I came to this law office regarding an auto accident I had been in a few months prior. As soon as I completed my initial meeting with this team, I knew I had come to the right place for help. Shelbi, Esq., is one of the most incredible legal advocates I have ever had the pleasure of working with (her personalization and attention to detail in written demand letters are second to none.) Shelbi truly was my “right hand woman” throughout this case; she fought for the best outcome and compensation for me in every way. I have never worked with a better legal team than Gerash, Steiner, and Blanton. I highly recommend this office for any and all of your legal needs!

I had a wonderful experience with Dan and his team. I can confidently say this firm genuinely cares about their clients. Dan and Shelbiy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire process - which was about a year for me. They were both empathetic, relational, patient, and considerate with me. When they needed to be tenacious on my behalf, they were. I couldn't recommend this firm enough.

I owe Dan Gerash and Shelbi Danner a debt of gratitude. They represented me in a jury trial in Jefferson County where I was wrongfully accused by an Arvada Police Officer that resulted in a Not Guilty verdict on all charges. Their thorough professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. They advised me throughout the entire process and were always honest and up front with me about my case. They were always prompt in responding to questions or giving me information about my case. I can't say enough at how well they presented my case when I finally got my day in court. There is no one else I would go to for legal representation in Colorado. Thank you Dan and Shelbi!

They weren't able to take my case because the GIA notice deadline had passed, but Diane is a lovely person. She did look into the details to make sure the legal deadlines had indeed lapsed. She and Eric seem thorough, professional, and realistic about expectations.

Shelbi, who works with Gerash Steiner Blanton, is the best thing that ever happened to me! My husband and I were in motorcycle accident that left my husband with a moderate TBI. On top of trying to heal from that, he was forced to go through the criminal court process when he was clearly not ready. Shelbi was a god send! She talked to him like he was a normal person, instead of how everyone else talked over his head to talk to me since I was his caretaker. She made him feel like he had a say in what was going on and explained the entire process each time. She never lost patients with either us, and did a ton of work to ensure the best possible outcome. In the end, we had a favorable outcome and we owe all of that to her. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for caring representation, not just another lawyer looking to line their pockets with your money.

My husband and I were amazed by the amount of work that Dan, Shelby, and Jeanne put in on our case. They were all wonderful- not just because of the work they did, but because of their humor, kindness, and care. I cannot imagine anyone else I could want on our side. Thank you so much for everything. We feel lucky to know you.

okay so shelbi was my lawyer just like a week ago and she was seriously so amazing for so many reasons;
she was super kind and helpful and endlessly patient with me; she kept me updated about my cases like really well which was very much appreciated; she responded to phone calls and texts in timely manners (even the couple ones in the middle of the night/early morning!)
shelbi helped get all my cases cleared up with like really good outcomes imho and totally advocated for me in a way that nobody's ever done for me in court before.
overall I am I'm so incredibly grateful to have been linked up with this firm and ms. danner and I'm still blown away by how much she did on my behalf.

Distracted Driving Statistics in Colorado

Distracted driving is a term that almost everyone has heard. Still, clients frequently ask us, “What is distracted driving?” 

According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, distracted driving involves driving while engaged in any activity that takes your focus away from the road. In 2019 alone, Colorado recorded 15,143 accidents that involved a distracted driver. Of those accidents, 4,361 people suffered some distracted driver accident injury. Tragically, 39 people lost their lives in these crashes. A lot of people think that distracted driving refers only to using a cell phone while you drive. However, types of distractions vary from cell phone use to trying to eat while driving. Any number of things can distract a driver. That’s why distracted driving occurs with such alarming frequency, even despite the devastating consequences. In fact, more than 90% of Colorado drivers self-reported driving while distracted. 

Driving distracted creates unnecessary risks for every person on the road. If you suffered injuries in a collision caused by a distracted driver, you could pursue compensation from the at-fault party. Contact a distracted driver accident attorney at Gerash Steiner Blanton, P.C. today to discuss your case.

Colorado Texting While Driving Accident Laws

When someone causes a car accident by this kind of negligent behavior, he or she is responsible for any injuries or other damage the accident caused. Sometimes it can be difficult to prove that an accident was caused by distraction due to text messaging or other distractions. For this reason, among others, it is very important that you retain the help of skilled lawyers to investigate the cause of your accident in order to identify the person responsible.

In many cases, serious accidents, leading to severe injuries, occur because the driver is not paying attention to driving because of a distraction by something else such as:

• Making a phone call or texting while driving
• Adjusting the radio or temperature gauge
• Talking to or disciplining passengers
• Eating or drinking
• Fixing his or her hair or makeup

The trial attorneys at Gerash Steiner, P.C., will pursue compensation for your injuries through litigation when attempts at negotiation and mediation have failed in helping you to find a reasonable settlement to cover your damages. Review our representative cases for examples of successful results in personal injury claims.

How Can I Determine If I Suffered Injuries in a Distracted Driver Accident?

In Colorado, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against a driver whose negligence caused you to suffer harm. To prevail in a personal injury claim, you need to prove that the other driver was negligent. A party is negligent when they fail to act as a reasonable person would have acted in the same or similar circumstances. Demonstrating that a driver was distracted when they caused an accident can help you show that the driver was negligent. There are multiple ways that you can show the court that the other driver was distracted at the time of the accident, including:

• Testimony from bystanders that the driver was not focused on the road;
• Testimony from individuals in the car with the at-fault driver;
• Police reports, if available;
• Phone records from the at-fault driver;
• Social media records; and
• Statements made by the at-fault driver at the scene.

These are just a few of the ways you can demonstrate that a driver was distracted at the time of an accident.

We have represented hundreds of clients in personal injury claims against negligent drivers.
