Hadfield Stieben Doutt LLC Fort Collins review signals at a glance

Bill and his team were excellent to work with while navigating an insurance settlement related to a dog bite incident involving a minor. They took the time to clearly explain our options and the settlement negotiation process, which made a difficult situation far more manageable and straightforward. Bill was attentive to our goal of pursuing a standard insurance liability settlement and never pressured us to explore additional actions beyond what we were comfortable with. We appreciated his professionalism, communication, and respect for our wishes throughout the process.

After my serious car accident in September 2024, I was injured, stressed, and overwhelmed—my whole life was turned upside down in an instant. From the very beginning, Bill Doutt and his team at Hadfield Stieben & Doutt, LLC took the stress and pressure off of me so I could focus on healing and recovery. Bill and his team worked diligently on my case, and their communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I was always kept in the loop and never once felt left in the dark. Not only did they secure a full settlement from the at-fault driver’s insurance, but they went a step further and uncovered a second insurance policy that provided additional funds—something I never expected and truly an incredible blessing. I was referred to Bill by a friend who had also been through a car accident, and she told me, “You have to call Bill.” Now I know exactly why! I too would highly recommend Bill Doutt and his entire team to anyone who needs an attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely cares about their clients. Thank you, Bill and your team, for everything you did for me during such a difficult time. You are truly a godsend.

Following a very serious automobile accident, I contacted Gordon Hadfield with the HSD Law Firm; I'm very happy I did! From the very beginning, Mr. Hatfield demonstrated genuine compassion and concern over my situation and helped me navigate through the process, including medical billing and the subsequent lawsuit.

I can attest Mr. Hadfield and his entire team handle every matter with the highest level of professionalism. They are knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly thorough, which provided peace of mind throughout the process. HSD is a law firm that combines legal excellence with humanity and respect for their clients. If you're looking for an attorney and a law firm that you can trust, I would wholeheartedly recommend Gordon Hadfield and the HDS law firm. - Joseph Murphy, Greeley, Colorado

Looking back on the legal process of my car / bike accident injuries, Shannon Sharrock’s efforts on our behalf were without bounds. We had no idea what to expect and cannot imagine what the outcome would have been without her services. She took control of dealing with the insurance, medical bills, and all aspects of the claim process including the “under-insured” coverage provided by our own insurance company. Shannon was clearly an advocate for us throughout the entire process. At all times, we were kept up to date of what was happening and what the next steps would be. She provided detailed answers to our questions and was always available to meet with us. We were never pressured to follow certain path in the claim process. She respected and supported the key decisions we needed to make.

We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support and guidance Sara Stieben provided after our daughter’s accident. From the very beginning, Sara was compassionate, responsive, and fully committed to protecting our family’s best interests. She took the time to explain every step clearly, answered all of our questions, and made an overwhelming situation so much easier to navigate. Sara’s professionalism and expertise were evident in the way she handled our case. She advocated for us with confidence and skill, and we always felt reassured knowing she was on our side. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about our daughter’s well-being and treated us like people—not just clients. We cannot recommend Sara enough. If you need a defense attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly compassionate, Sara Stieben is the one you want by your side.

I was in a car accident in 2023 after someone ran a stop sign and hit my car. Trying to navigate the aftermath of the accident was all that more complicated while dealing with the traumatic brain injury I sustained. I was struggling physically, mentally, and emotionally. After calling several lawyers, Sara was the first one that appeared to genuinely care. She jumped straight into my case and, boy, was it a journey... Not only did she help with the logistical nightmare of medical bills and insurance companies, but she also referred me to a brain clinic that helped me heal. I went through several years of testing and therapies all while Sara and her team (shoutout to Michie!) took care of the legal side of things. All the while, she was kind, honest, and thoroughly explained each and every step of the process to make sure I stayed informed and had my voice heard. I never felt pressured or uncertain of what was going on. Recently, she was able to obtain my settlement in addition to a full payout from my MedPay! Sara and her team are fierce advocates and I am so thankful for their help over the past few years. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for their support, knowledge, and skills. Thank you for everything!

This firm and their team were absolutely amazing—professional, brilliant, and kind. They bring that small-town family feel we all love about Fort Collins, paired with sharp minds and a strong work ethic. That combination made them the best option for us. They helped us navigate a tough insurance situation, and their support truly made a difference. Their guidance helped us stay on the road. Thanks Hadfield Stieben and Bill Doutt!!!! -Karen and Marcus

I can’t begin to describe the amazing work Mr Hadfield accomplished for my son Dave. Without Mr Hadfield and his associates we couldn’t have navigated through all the demands for settlement and my son would never have been compensated for his less than optimum experience with the medical field. This law firm has my deepest respect for their attention to detail and for true compassion and understanding another’s worth and value.

When I was looking for a lawyer for my dog bite case, most firms brushed me off, saying the payout would only be between $1,000–$5,000 and not worth their time. Then I found HSD Law. From the start, Gordon was different. Before I even retained him, he took the time to explain how I could handle the insurance company myself so I wouldn’t have to give up part of my payout to legal fees. That alone showed me he genuinely cared and wasn’t just in it for the money. Even before I officially retained him, Gordon was always responsive, answered every single question I had, and guided me through the process in detail. Once he took my case on formally, he continued that same level of dedication and ultimately secured me a $12,500 settlement when other firms told me I’d be lucky to get $1,000. What stood out most was Gordon’s willingness to help me when he didn’t stand to earn a penny. He treated me with respect and attention from day one, unlike any other firm I contacted. If you’re reading this and considering a lawyer, don’t waste your time calling around. HSD Law truly puts their heart into every case, no matter the size. Gordon proved that to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I never thought I’d find myself in a position where I’d need to take legal action against someone, and the idea of stepping into a law firm was intimidating. But working with Sara, Michie, Jennie, and the team at HSD changed everything. They were sharp, effective, and prioritized my interests. They made sure I was heard and supported throughout the process, and were able to stand up to my abuser where both the military and civilian systems had failed me. They took my safety and well-being seriously and made an overwhelming situation manageable. If you’re facing something difficult and don’t know where to turn, this is the team you want in your corner. I'm so grateful for and cannot say enough good things about this group of knowledgeable, powerful, and caring women who changed my life.

Great representation and very responsive. Great communication and follow through.

I came into HSD Law seeking help. I didn't know where to begin. Sara, Jennie, and Michie did an outstanding job helping me. I greatly appreciate everything! Thank you!
