Pueblo Labor & Employment Attorneys
Colorado workers are protected by some of the strongest employment laws in the country — but those rights only matter when they're enforced. We represent employees against unlawful termination, wage theft, discrimination, harassment and retaliation.
How our Pueblo attorneys help
Wrongful termination
Fired for reporting safety violations, filing a workers' comp claim or refusing to commit an illegal act? Colorado public policy protects you, and we hold employers accountable.
Unpaid wages & overtime
Under the Colorado Wage Act and FLSA, employers owe minimum wage, overtime, final paychecks and accrued vacation. Penalties for violations can be substantial.
Discrimination & harassment
Race, sex, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy and LGBTQ+ status — Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act and Title VII protect you.
Retaliation & whistleblower claims
Employers cannot punish workers for reporting illegal conduct, wage violations or safety hazards. We bring claims under POWR, CCPA and federal law.

Frequently asked questions
Is Colorado an at-will employment state?+
Yes, but at-will employment has major exceptions: you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for protected activity, or in violation of public policy or contract.
How long do I have to file an employment claim?+
Most discrimination charges must be filed with the EEOC or CCRD within 300 days. Wage claims under Colorado law generally have 2-3 year deadlines. Don't delay.
Do I pay anything upfront?+
Most employment matters are handled on contingency or with statutory fee-shifting. Initial consultations are free.
Can my employer retaliate for filing a claim?+
Retaliation is itself illegal and often produces a stronger second claim than the original. Document everything and call us immediately.
