Fairlaw Colorado represents employees, never employers, and people harmed by police or government misconduct across the Western Slope, including Grand Junction and Mesa County. Most Grand Junction clients meet with us by phone or video, with in-person meetings available in Roaring Fork Valley by appointment.
Why a Western Slope client might choose a firm that works statewide
Many of the cases that matter to Western Slope clients are decided in front of Colorado’s state courts, the federal District of Colorado, or the agencies that handle discrimination charges. Those are statewide systems, and a lawyer who works in them regularly does not need to be across the street from you to represent you well. We take the same approach for Grand Junction clients that we take anywhere else in Colorado: review the facts and deadlines first, then explain your options plainly. With that said, Fairlaw Colorado has boots on the ground on the Western Slope, unlikely the overwhelming majority of civil rights and plaintiffs-side civil rights/employment firms in Colorado, which are based on the Front Range.
Employment cases
- Discrimination and harassment based on race, sex, age (40 and over), disability, national origin, religion, pregnancy, sexual orientation or gender identity (age and sex discrimination)
- Retaliation for complaining, taking leave, or reporting misconduct (retaliation and whistleblower claims)
- Disability accommodation denials (accommodation claims)
- Wrongful termination and severance review (severance review)
- Public employer cases, including school districts, counties, cities and state agencies, where federal, state and constitutional claims can overlap (employment law overview)
The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act applies to employers of any size, including small local businesses and government employers.
Civil rights cases
We represent people in claims involving excessive force, unlawful arrest and search, retaliation for protected speech, and medical care or conditions in jails and prisons. Colorado’s state-law civil rights claim against peace officers does not allow qualified immunity as a defense, and that can change which cases are worth bringing. Read the explanation. Civil rights overview
Deadlines do not wait
Most discrimination and retaliation charges must be filed within 300 days of the discriminatory act, and many civil rights claims have a two-year limit. Some have shorter notice requirements. If you are unsure, reach out sooner rather than later.
