About Michael W. Chaloupka

Establishing himself as a tough, dedicated accident attorney, Michael Chaloupka was destined to be a courtroom crusader. The son of the late Robert Chaloupka, a great trial lawyer from Nebraska, Mike followed in his Dad’s footsteps by attending and graduating from the University of Nebraska College of Law, with a special emphasis on litigation skills and trial advocacy. His Dad’s law practice and his life set the standard for Mike’s courage, for not giving up, and for providing dignity and hope to people broken by grief and despair. As a result, Metier Law Firm, LLC is a natural fit for Mike.

Mike’s practice areas include motorcycle accidents, motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents and insurance bad faith. Licensed to practice law in Colorado, District of Colorado and Nebraska, Mike is an active member of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association.

Mike continues to strive to be one of the elite injury lawyers. He is a graduate of the Western Trial Advocacy Institute and is a 2011 graduate of the prestigious Trial Lawyers College in Dubois, Wyoming. He is a frequent speaker at legal seminars including: Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys Virtual Symposium: Building 30b6 Notices (2020), Law Tigers Summit: Bad Faith (2019); CTLA Seminar: Offensive Use of Motions.

When not defending the rights of the severely injured, Mike enjoys riding his motorcycle, snowboarding and cooking.

Hired Attorney

the only negative thing about my experience with metier was that i had to accost the person working your booth at the Christmas toy run in aurora co. before you were going to take my case seriously. maybe it was partly my fault for not pressing harder, but it was months later and i was starting to feel abandoned. once mike C. took over, i got to see a dedicated professional pursue my case as if it was his own.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
