Fairlaw Colorado represents employees and people harmed by government misconduct throughout Garfield County and the Roaring Fork Valley. Our Carbondale office is a short drive from Glenwood Springs, and attorney Michael Fairhurst and his family live nearby.
Employment cases for Glenwood Springs workers
Glenwood Springs’s economy includes healthcare, hospitality and tourism, construction, retail and local government. Workers in those fields commonly come to us with problems like these:
- Being fired or pushed out after reporting discrimination, harassment or unsafe conditions (retaliation claims)
- Employers refusing to accommodate a medical condition (disability accommodation)
- Age or sex discrimination in layoffs, pay and promotion (age and sex discrimination)
- Unpaid wages, commissions or tips
- A severance offer with a short deadline (severance review)
The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act covers employers of any size, which matters in a community with many small businesses. Employment law overview
Civil rights cases in Garfield County
If a police officer, deputy, or jail employee violated your rights, you may have claims under both federal and Colorado law. Colorado’s state-law claim does not allow qualified immunity as a defense. How that works. We handle excessive force, unlawful arrest and search, and jail medical care claims. Civil rights overview
State-court cases arising in Garfield County are heard in the Ninth Judicial District, whose district courts sit at the Garfield County Courthouse in Glenwood Springs. Federal cases are filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
