Englewood Wrongful Termination Attorneys

The United States and State of Colorado laws make it illegal for an employer to take action against you because you exercise your rights as an employee. It's also illegal for them to fire, demote or harass you for participating in an investigation into possible misconduct. In addition, they can't discriminate against you based on a protected class. Religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age and pregnancy are just a few examples of protected classes.

If you've been fired for an illegal reason, you can fight back with legal action. To receive justice, you file a legal claim that identifies the discrimination and demands fair compensation. That's where our team of attorneys and professional paralegals can advocate for you.

We're armed with the knowledge and skill to fight on your behalf. We can gather the evidence that you need, file the legal claim, and pursue it through the steps of legal procedure until you have a fair result. Justice is our passion, and we fight (and win) for people like you every day.

Here are some kinds of wrongful termination cases that our lawyers may handle:

• Unfair treatment in hiring, firing or work duties based on your race or religion
• Deciding to terminate your employment because of your age
• Gender-based discrimination
• Age discrimination in the hiring and retention process
• Disparate treatment on the basis of sexual orientation
• Finding a pretext to fire you because you choose to take an FMLA leave
• Retaliation if you participate in an investigation of someone else
• Demotion for an illegal reason
• Changing of work duties; trying to create a hostile environment because they don't like that you advocated for your rights or participated in an investigation
• Retaliation for complaining about unpaid wages (Colorado Wage Act)
• A violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Sexual harassment and unfair treatment based on reporting sexual harassment

Wrongful termination is often subtle. Your employer isn't going to come out and say that they fired you based on an illegal reason. That's why having experienced litigators to build your case is so important.

We're not only aggressive litigators, but we're skilled in legal advocacy. The result is a legal team that understands your rights and interests and works until the job is done.
