This is difficult for us to share, but we regret that we will not be able to meet with or take on new clients until the summer of 2023. If you have an employment problem and need help, we suggest you reach out to the following groups to find counsel:

Colorado Plaintiff Employment Lawyers' Association: https://coloradopela.wildapricot.org

Colorado Bar Association: https://www.licensedlawyer.org/co

We also suggest contacting the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) for any issue that they oversee, which includes unpaid wages, discrimination, paid sick leave, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, and more: Colorado Department of Labor and Employment: https://cdle.colorado.gov

We will be sure to make an announcement here when we are able to meet you for consultations again. Until then, we wish you a very happy 2023!

When I started this firm in July 2020, a recruiter that I had known for a long time sent me a money tree as a gift. Unfortunately, because it was in the middle of COVID, I wasn't going into the office daily and the poor plant sat by itself for who knows how long before I opened the box.

It died shortly thereafter. I don't usually believe in omens, but at that point in time I was absolutely terrified that this dead plant meant I had made the worst professional decision of my life by going out on my own.

Today, we're celebrating our 2nd anniversary and this very healthy lime tree. We've grown to two attorneys and two assistants, advised over a hundred individuals and businesses, and celebrated our happy share of wins for our clients. I am so grateful to be able to help my neighbors here every day while doing something I love. Thank you, and Happy Fourth!
