When a doctor, dentist, or lawyer fails to do their job with reasonable care, the harm can reach every part of your life. You may be dealing with a new medical condition, a lost lawsuit, mounting bills, or the simple, painful realization that someone you trusted let you down. In moments like these, you need a steady advocate who understands both the law and what you are going through.
Cimino Law Office, LLC is a malpractice attorney in Denver, CO, led by John Cimino, who has practiced law for nearly four decades. Our firm is based in the Denver area and represents clients who have been harmed by professionals who fell below the standard of care expected of them.
Our office is located at 5500 East Yale Avenue, Suite 201A, Denver, CO, 80222, convenient to clients across the city and the surrounding metro communities. Working with a Denver firm means working with attorneys who understand how claims move through Colorado courts and who are close enough to meet with you in person when that matters to you.
Malpractice is a form of professional negligence. It occurs when a licensed professional, such as a physician, dentist, or attorney, fails to perform with the skill and care a reasonably competent member of that profession would use, and that failure causes harm or financial loss. As a professional negligence lawyer, our role is to investigate what happened, identify who was responsible, and determine whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
These cases are rarely simple. They often require expert review, careful study of records, and an understanding of strict Colorado procedures, including the Certificate of Review that must be filed in most professional negligence cases. We guide you through each of those steps so you are never left wondering what comes next.
We represent patients harmed by misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. We also handle dental malpractice claims involving nerve damage, failed implants, botched procedures, and missed oral cancer.
Our firm has a long history with legal malpractice claims against attorneys who missed deadlines, settled without consent, mishandled client funds, or gave advice that cost their clients a case or a fair recovery.
Whatever type of claim you have, the core questions are the same: what standard of care applied, how it was breached, and what that breach cost you. Many clients come to us unsure whether what happened to them counts as malpractice at all. That uncertainty is normal, and answering that question honestly is one of the most valuable things we can do for you in an initial consultation.
From your first call, we focus on listening and on giving you an honest assessment. We explain the legal standards in plain language, review your documents carefully, and tell you directly whether we believe your claim is strong. If we move forward together, we keep you informed at each stage and prepare every case as though it may go to trial, while remaining open to a fair resolution through negotiation.
Timing is important. Most malpractice claims in Colorado must be filed within two years of when the harm was discovered, and waiting can limit your options. The sooner we review your situation, the more we can do to protect your rights.
If a professional you trusted has caused you harm, you do not have to face it alone. Call Cimino Law Office, LLC at (720) 434-0434 to schedule a free consultation.

Cimino Law Office, LLC represents patients injured by careless dental care, including nerve damage from extractions or implants, failed implants and root canals, work on the wrong tooth, and missed signs of oral cancer. Dental claims follow the same Colorado rules as other health care claims, including expert review and a two-year discovery deadline in most cases.
Can I sue a dentist for nerve damage?
You may have a claim if nerve damage from an extraction, implant, or injection resulted from a dentist failing to meet the standard of care. Some nerve injuries are known risks even with careful treatment, so an expert review of your records is essential.
Does dental malpractice follow the same rules as medical malpractice?
Yes. Dental malpractice claims in Colorado follow the same rules as other health care claims, including the need for expert support, a Certificate of Review in most cases, and strict filing deadlines.
What are common types of dental malpractice?
Common claims involve nerve injuries, failed or poorly placed implants, root canals that leave infection behind, work on the wrong tooth, unnecessary procedures, and missed signs of oral cancer or serious gum disease.
Should I wait to see if my symptoms improve before calling a lawyer?
It is reasonable to continue treatment, but waiting does not pause the filing deadline. Most claims must be filed within two years of when the injury and its cause were discovered, so an early conversation protects your options.
What records help a dental malpractice claim?
Treatment notes, X-rays, billing statements, and records from any follow-up or corrective care are the most useful. Findings from a second dentist who examined the work can be especially valuable.
