Sam Cannon

I founded Cannon Law in 2014 with one goal: to represent individuals against large corporations and insurance companies. Since then, I have limited the number and type of cases I handle to make sure my clients get the best legal representation possible. Now, I represent individuals in personal injury and insurance bad faith cases with a large percentage of my clients having suffered traumatic brain injuries.

Since founding the firm, I have helped hundreds of clients financially recover from injuries. In total, I have won more than $10,000,000 for my clients, including numerous six and seven-figure individual recoveries through trial or settlement. In 2020, I was elected by my peers to be an officer of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the largest specialty bar association in Colorado. As a result, I will serve as its President in 2024 and 2025. I am also a member of the American Association of Justice’s Leader’s Forum and regularly speak in Colorado and nationally about personal injury litigation, especially cases involving traumatic brain injuries. I have been rated by Super Lawyers every year since 2017. More than anything, I am very proud of the kind things our former clients have said about us online.

My philosophy about personal injury cases is simple: the more time you put into the case, the better the outcome. For this reason, I strictly limit my caseload to ensure I can give every client the time their case deserves. This means I only represent around 10% of the potential clients that contact our office. Because I do this, I only take cases I believe in, and the cases I accept get enough time and attention for my team to develop a unique strategy to help our client reach their goals. We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to our cases any more than our clients are one-size-fits-all people. The process starts with the initial client meeting. In that meeting, my goal is to get to know you and your goals for your case. Once we really understand what you want, my staff and I will use our knowledge and experience to develop and execute a plan to reach those goals. Along the way, we make sure you understand how what we’re doing is helping us reach your goals.

When I get to the office, I know I’m going to spend my day helping individuals fight back against a system designed to silence their voices.

I represent individuals. I’ve found that the legal system isn’t designed to help people. It’s designed to help the bottom lines of corporations and insurance companies. People can get lost in the maze of procedure and buried by the expense of a case. I want to help you fight back. I use my knowledge and experience to even the playing field. Once the company of the other side knows they can’t push you around, you’re more likely to reach your goals.

I want to tell your story and help you recover. Get in touch with me today if you want to set up a free meeting to see what I can do for you.

TESTIMONIALS

My case was taken care of

“Sam and his team worked to make sure every aspect of my case was taken care of and that I was informed the whole way through. I know nothing about law or how the process works, so he explained everything to me in a way that was easy for us non-lawyers to understand. I can recommend them enough and everything they helped me with over the course of my 15 month case. Id highly recommend!” – Megan Neeley, Google Review

Congenial and Easy to Work With

“The office staff was very congenial and easy to work with. Mr. Cannon was helpful for the details of the case and informative, It was my first experience with an accident case and I will recommend others to their office.” – L.G., Google Review

Communication Was Great

“Sam was a great help with my situation. I’m glad I took the time to call him. He explained everything up front and pretty much everything went just as he explained. The communication was great through the whole process. I would certainly recommend him and would certainly use him again.” – M.M., Google Review

They Really Set the Standard For Legal Help

“Sam Cannon is what you want in a lawyer. I’ve used them a couple of times now and each time I call, Sam’s always shown a level of dedication that’s beyond impressive. In fact, he often seems to be more passionate about my case than I was, which was refreshing because it’s rare to see that kind of care these days.

More than just a good person, Sam and company are excellent at what they do. Professional and, more importantly, timely. I’ve never not had a call or message returned within 24 hours. They really set the standard for legal help. If you find yourself in a bind, this is the firm to call.” – K.G., Google Review

The Best

“Sam was my attorney when I got into my car accident and he was the best! He made it very comfortable and told and explained everything that was going on and what will happen! He was very sympathetic and showed that he really cared about me and was concerned about my health issues! I am very thankful for everything he has done for me and for my family. If anyone that I know needed help and needed an attorney, Sam would be the first person I would recommend! ” – T.C., Google Review

Knowledgeable and Efficient

“Sam Cannon is very knowledgeable and efficient. He really cares about the little guy. When a landlord tried to take advantage of my naivety and swindle me out of my deposit, Sam was able to quickly get me my entire deposit back and gave me the information I needed to protect myself from such scams in the future.” – Kayla, Google Review

Genuinely Concerned With My Well-being

“Sam and his group were very good to me! Sam always treated me and my time with respect and I always felt welcomed when I walked into the office! Thank you, Sam, for treating me as a person and genuinely concerned with my well-being as well as the rest of my family!!!” – C.C., Google Review

Excellent Attorney

“Sam Cannon is an excellent Attorney. He truly cares about what he is doing and about the people he represents, which I found very rarely when looking for legal representation for my father-in-law. Sam did the very best he could for us and I would recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent medical malpractice attorney.” – Tilia, Google Review

Best attorney I have dealt with

“Sam Cannon is dedicated, empathetic, efficient and trustworthy. Sam is the best attorney I have dealt
with and there have been more than a few. Not only a skilled attorney and good human being he is
probably the only attorney you will ever meet that returns phone calls and e-mails and very quickly. I
hope I never need another attorney but if I do, it will be Sam Cannon.” – Ron, Google Review

Personal

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my brittany, Lilly. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually enjoying Colorado’s great outdoors kayaking, skiing, hunting, or golfing.
