What We Handle

Employment Law Practice Areas

Clear guidance when you need it most. Whether you are dealing with a sudden termination, negotiating a contract, or facing workplace disputes—we protect your rights and your career.

Severance Negotiation

Before signing any severance agreement, have an attorney review it. We analyze the terms, eliminate harmful clauses, and negotiate to maximize compensation.

Unpaid Wage Demand

Whether dealing with unpaid overtime, misclassification, or disputed executive bonuses and commissions, we protect your right to the compensation you earned.

File Discrimination Charge with EEOC and CCRD

While Colorado is an at-will state, you cannot be fired for an illegal reason. We handle wrongful discharge and discrimination claims involving race, sex, age, disability, and gender identity—fully enforcing Colorado’s expanded protections for the LGBTQ+ community and reproductive health. We will file your formal discrimination charge with the EEOC and CCRD.

Workplace Harassment and Sexual Harassment

A hostile work environment requires prompt action. In Colorado, discriminatory conduct is illegal simply if it is unwelcome. We protect your interests and guide you smoothly through the formal CCRD and EEOC claim process.

FMLA & FAMLI Leave Violations

Colorado and federal laws grant job-protected time off for medical, family, and sick leave needs. If your leave was wrongfully denied or met with retaliation, we protect your rights and your career.

Transactional Services & Contract Drafting

We prepare independent contractor agreements, executive contracts, employment agreements, employee handbooks, severance packages and other compliance documents to secure your interests and minimize risk. We ensure your workplace agreements are compliant and legally sound.

Know Your Rights

Real Answers from Colorado Employment Law

Colorado has some of the strictest worker protection laws in the country. Before you make a decision that could hurt your case, find out exactly where you stand under state and federal law.

How do I know if my severance package is fair?

If your employer hands you a termination agreement, do not sign it on the spot. These documents are written to protect the company, not you. We review your package to see if you are leaving money on the table or giving up your right to sue for wrongful termination.

What happens if my boss doesn't pay me my final paycheck?

Under Colorado law, if an employer intentionally steals your wages or holds your final paycheck, they don’t just owe you the original amount. You can sue them to recover triple your unpaid wages in penalties, plus your attorney fees.

Can I sue my company for firing me for no reason?

Colorado is an “at-will” state, meaning you can be let go at any time. However, it is strictly illegal to fire you based on discrimination (race, age, gender, disability) or as retaliation for reporting illegal workplace activity or wage theft.

How long do I have to report workplace discrimination?

You cannot wait. In Colorado, you generally have a strict window of 300 days from the date of the discrimination or harassment to file an official charge with the EEOC or the CCRD. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to sue permanently.

Can my boss fire me for taking sick leave in Colorado?

No. Under Colorado’s HFWA (Healthy Families and Workplaces Act), almost all employees earn paid sick leave. It is illegal for your employer to fire you, discipline you, or retaliate against you for using your accrued sick time to care for yourself or a family member.
