Fairlaw Colorado has an office at 1543 Champa Street in downtown Denver. We represent people, never employers or governments, in civil rights, employment and criminal appeals matters in Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, and elsewhere through the Front Range and eastern plains. In-person meetings are available by appointment in Denver, though people there often prefer to meet with me via videoconference or on the phone.

In Colorado you may have two separate claims: a federal claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and a state-law claim under C.R.S. § 13-21-131, which does not allow qualified immunity as a defense. How the Colorado claim works · Excessive force claims, including Taser claims · Civil rights overview
