Linda Chalat

← Back Linda has always practiced as a trial lawyer, exclusively personal injury claims. As a matter of policy, Chalat Law does not accept a case unless we can commit to pursuing the claim through trial. As a pragmatic matter, many cases resolve during pre-litigation and for those that are filed, very few go to trial. Linda has successfully handled all types of catastrophic injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, ski accidents, premises liability claims, defective product cases and professional malpractice. 

← Back Linda has been recognized by her peers for inclusion on the Colorado Super Lawyers list since 2011.  She has been named to the Colorado Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers Association each year since 2013. Since 2016, Linda has been recognized by Best Lawyers for Product Liability - Plaintiffs. She has earned a "BV" rating (distinguished rating) by Martindale-Hubbell®, the authoritative resource for information on the worldwide legal profession. She has also received an Avvo rating of "Excellent" as shown on her Avvo profile.
