Fighting for Justice for Weld County Families Since 1989
When you’ve been injured in Greeley—whether it’s a commercial truck accident on Highway 85, a workplace injury at one of Weld County’s industrial operations, or a collision caused by the blinding westbound sun glare on Highway 34 during evening rush hour—justice is not freely given. You must fight to obtain it.
The same is true if you’re facing criminal charges in the 19th Judicial District or navigating the complex immigration system as a member of Weld County’s growing Latino community.
Why Greeley Cases Are Different—And Why Your Lawyer Should Know Weld County
If you were injured, charged with a crime, or need immigration help in Greeley or anywhere in Weld County, you’re not dealing with typical Denver cases. This is a region shaped by agriculture, oil and gas operations, heavy industrial traffic, and a tight-knit community where reputation and relationships matter in the courtroom.
Insurance adjusters from out-of-state corporations don’t understand the economic realities of rural and industrial Colorado—and they routinely undervalue claims involving workers and families in Weld County. Meanwhile, prosecutors in the 19th Judicial District and immigration officers at the Denver Field Office handle cases differently than their counterparts in larger cities.
We do things differently here.
Attorney Miguel Martínez has proudly served Greeley and Weld County for over 30 years. As a former Assistant District Attorney and Assistant U.S. Attorney who has spent decades in the 19th Judicial District, he understands the judges, the juries, the prosecutors, and the legal landscape that will determine your case. He knows that Weld County juries have a different perspective than Denver juries—and he knows how to speak their language.
When you’re facing medical bills from North Colorado Medical Center, criminal charges that put your freedom at stake, or immigration paperwork that could determine your family’s future, you need an advocate who has been in these courtrooms for decades—not a firm that flies in from Denver for the hearing and leaves.

Expert Legal Representation Tailored to Weld County
We represent families and individuals throughout Greeley and Weld County in cases including:
Personal Injury
Industrial & Workplace Accidents
Weld County’s economy is built on agriculture, oil and gas extraction, and food processing. Injuries on drilling rigs, at meatpacking plants like JBS, and on construction sites require a lawyer who understands OSHA regulations, workers’ compensation coordination, and third-party liability in industrial settings.
Commercial Truck & Auto Accidents
Highway 85 and Highway 34 see constant traffic from commercial vehicles—oil tankers, sugar beet trucks, and long-haul semis. These cases are incredibly complex, especially when they involve commercial vehicle operators, fleet liability, and federal motor carrier regulations. We have represented thousands of families in auto accident cases and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.
Slip and Fall & Premises Liability
Whether you were injured at Island Grove Regional Park during a Greeley Stampede event, on the UNC campus, or at a local business, property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. We hold negligent property owners accountable.
Accidents Caused by Greeley’s Unique Road Conditions
If you’ve driven westbound on Highway 34 during evening rush hour, you know the blinding sun glare that can make it nearly impossible to see. In winter, the bridges over the Poudre River turn into ice traps. These aren’t excuses—they’re contributing factors that we investigate and present as evidence when insurance companies try to blame you for accidents caused by dangerous conditions.
Criminal Defense
Defending Your Rights in the 19th Judicial District
Being charged with a crime in Weld County puts your freedom and future at stake. As a former State and Federal Prosecutor, Attorney Miguel Martínez knows how the District Attorney’s office builds cases—because he used to do that work himself. That inside knowledge gives you a powerful advantage.
Immigration Law
Helping Weld County’s Latino Community Navigate Complex Immigration Laws
Greeley and Weld County are home to thousands of immigrant families who work in agriculture, food processing, construction, and service industries. The immigration system is extremely complex—especially if you aren’t a fluent speaker or reader of English. Any errors you make on applications can hurt your chances of approval or lead to deportation proceedings.
Attorney Miguel Martínez is himself an immigrant from Mexico and a Vietnam veteran who understands what it means to build a life in this country.
We’ll negotiate with the appropriate parties on your behalf and take your case to court if necessary. With over 35 years of experience, over $200 million in compensation recovered for personal injury clients, and thousands of families helped with immigration matters, we know how to get results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge for travel time if I live outside of Greeley but still in Weld County?
No. We proudly serve all of Weld County, including Evans, LaSalle, Garden City, Eaton, and Windsor. There is no additional charge for meeting with clients throughout the county.
What makes a Weld County personal injury case different from a Denver case?
Weld County juries tend to be more conservative and skeptical of large damage awards compared to urban juries in Denver. Additionally, many of our clients work in agriculture, oil and gas, or industrial food processing—industries with specific regulations, hazards, and insurance structures. We understand how to present these cases to Weld County juries and judges in the 19th Judicial District, where we have practiced for over 30 years.
What should I do if I was injured in an accident on Highway 34 or Highway 85?
First, seek medical treatment immediately—many of our clients are treated at North Colorado Medical Center. Then, contact our office as soon as possible. Commercial vehicle accidents on Highway 85 and visibility-related accidents on Highway 34 during sun glare conditions require immediate investigation. Evidence like skid marks, witness statements, and traffic camera footage can disappear quickly. We’ll begin building your case right away so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
Does having a former prosecutor help with criminal defense cases in Weld County?
Absolutely. Attorney Miguel Martínez served as an Assistant District Attorney and Assistant U.S. Attorney. He knows how prosecutors build cases, what weaknesses to look for, and how to negotiate effectively with the Weld County DA’s office. That experience gives our clients a significant advantage in negotiations and at trial in the 19th Judicial District.
Can you help with immigration cases if my family members are in other states or Mexico?
Yes. We handle family-based petitions, consular processing, and cases that involve coordination with U.S. embassies and consulates in Mexico and other countries. We also work with clients whose family members are in detention or facing deportation proceedings. Our bilingual staff can communicate with everyone involved to make the process smoother.
What if I don’t speak English well—can you still help me?
Yes. SE HABLA ESPAÑOL. Our entire team is bilingual, and Attorney Miguel Martínez is himself an immigrant from Mexico. We understand the challenges of navigating the legal system in a second language, and we make sure you understand every step of your case.
