We work on civil rights and employment cases throughout the state. This includes pursuing claims with administrative agencies and court including:

state and federal court.
Potential federal and state law claims include:
discrimination based on religion, gender, marital status, race, color, age, national origin, disability, pregnancy, military status, genetic information or sexual orientation. Educational institutions, and public accommodations, are also prohibited from discriminating against individuals;
retaliation against employees for complaining about discrimination, violations of public policy, applying for worker’s compensation, asking for accommodations or leave, engaging in speech protected by the First Amendment, and engaging in other protected activities;
unfair trade practices;

payment of minimum wage and overtime;
breach of contract;
failure to provide proper protected leave or accommodations;
failure to pay wages or time off properly; and
civil rights and employment claims under the state and federal constitution free speech, equal protection and due process clauses.
Colorado law provides important protections for employees, and knowledgeable counsel can help enforce those.
