It’s rare to find an attorney who is both exceptionally skilled and genuinely kind- but that’s exactly what I found in Vernon L. Ready at Ready Law in Denver.

I was severely injured and permanently impaired due to Target Corporation’s negligence, and from the very beginning, Vern treated me with a level of care and respect that never wavered. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but also down-to-earth, approachable, and easy to trust- something that matters more than people realize when you’re going through something like this and in pain 24 hours a day. Vern Ready worked on my case for two years with real diligence, focus and a positive attitude, always prepared and always thinking ahead. He communicated with me regularly, updated me on every important step, and never made me feel left out of the process. He is not an assembly-line attorney who hands you off to others or disappears- he stayed personally involved and fully engaged every step of the way.

Vern Ready’s efforts led to a $2.7 MILLION verdict in my favor against Target Corp. in a five-day federal jury trial in Denver. The jury found Target 100% at fault, which I understand is very rare in cases like this. It’s important to note that this verdict represents one of the largest jury awards nationally in a personal injury case against Target. That result didn’t happen by chance. It’s a direct reflection of Mr. Ready’s skill, preparation, and commitment. This outcome changed lives for the better and held a major corporation accountable for its negligence.

I’ll always remember how he handled everything along the way- with integrity, intelligence, and genuine compassion. He never made me feel like just another case. He’s not just an outstanding attorney- he’s a good person. And he is VERY good at what he does! I’m deeply grateful for what Vern Ready did for me, and I would recommend him without hesitation.

E.N.

I highly recommend Vern as a personal injury lawyer. I worked with him for over a year after my car accident and was incredibly grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and empathy. This was my first time working with a lawyer and I was very appreciative for all the hard work and time he took in handling my case. It is evident that he is passionate about his work and cares a lot about the people he works with.

M.M.

I highly recommend Ready Law. Vern is very professional, well organized and prepared. He is attention to detail focused. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with Vern, his communication and response time. Highly recommend Ready Law services.

D.K.

Vern was very attentive and handled our case with the utmost care. He listened to us and moved at a pace that we were comfortable with. He communicated effectively and we understood the process we were going through.

A.M.

Vern was beyond thorough from the start. He came in the middle of my suit, and he changed the game completely. He made sure I was receiving the best care with doctors, information as well as legal advice. Highly recommend Vern to take care of you and your family!

S.K.

Vern Ready began representing my personal injury case over 2 years ago. My counsel was needing someone experienced with going to trial and eager to fight on my behalf.
I would bet that 2 years ago, Vern would’ve thought this case was ready to go to trial and be done in a matter of months instead of years but then the pandemic happened. Throughout the delays during this time, Vern always showed professionalism, determination, and an eagerness for being prepared. It is a great feeling knowing the person representing you is coming to battle with so much knowledge and desire to get the best result.

Throughout this process, I felt confident that Vern was there to give me all the facts and let me decide the path to take. The result to my case was great and I am confident that Vern was the reason for this. Worst case scenario, if I find myself in a situation where I need to call a personal injury attorney, Vern will be my first call.

M.S.

Patience, Experience, Knowledge, Results. Couldn’t ask for better professionalism. Definitely don’t pass this firm up

R.M.

I have never dealt with the legal system before, so when I hired Vern I was scared and upset and had no idea what was happening. But then immediately felt comfortable with him because he is extremely smart and confident and so I felt trust in him.

He reinforced my confidence in him by being very communicative and prompt. I would either get a hold of him immediately, or he would call me back soon, so I didn’t have to stress out about what was going on.

I would recommend Vern to anyone looking for an attorney.

J.Y.

If you are looking for a personal injury attorney this is the place you need to go. They are professional and actually care about you. I highly recommend ready law, especially if you have had a car accident or have had some other personal injury. You won’t be disappointed!

A.B.

I truly recommend Vern for counsel if you or someone you care for have been injured. Get Ready to meet an amazing lawyer who personally cares and helps those he meets. Vern is so much more than legal counsel. He is so passionate about helping those around him.

G.S.

If you are looking for an attorney who cares about you and your case, I highly recommend Vern. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, impressive attorney who gets right to work preparing the best case for you. If you have been injured, he is the best man for the job.

J.O.

Vern is extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job of going above and beyond the status quo set by insurance companies. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

P.M.

Vern is an outstanding personal injury attorney. He takes the time to get to know each client, and handles each case individually. You’ll never feel like “just a case number” with his firm representing you.

A.B.

Vernon is a credit to his profession and is clearly a person that has a solid moral compass. I called his firm to gather some legal advise and he called back within 20 minutes and volunteered 20 minutes of his time, giving me far more than expected. And to top it off suggested I may well be able to achieve my desired result without legal representation. Without doubt this is the easiest recommendation I’ve ever made.

Peter

Mr. Ready has a high level of integrity. He works diligently to find as much information as possible for his clients best outcome. He explains things clearly and takes his time to make sure the clients understand. My family and I are extremely happy and confident with Mr. Ready.

Michelle

I hired Vern Ready to represent me in a case… I found Vern to be very professional in his handling of my case. He spent a great deal of time with me going over everything that happened… He definitely went above and beyond what he had to do in order to help me win this case. This case could have easily gone the other way were it not for Vern being so thorough and not leaving a single detail uninvestigated. I really felt like he took a personal interest in the case and always believed in me.

S.C.

Not only did we get our “best case scenario” outcome, but we got it faster than we ever anticipated!! Thank you!
