FAQ

Employment Law Questions

01
Can I be fired for no reason in Colorado?
Colorado is an "at-will" employment state, meaning employers can generally fire employees without cause. However, there are important exceptions — you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, whistleblower activity, or exercising legal rights. We can determine if your termination was illegal.
02
How do I know if I'm being discriminated against at work?
Signs of discrimination include being passed over for promotions due to age, race, or gender; receiving lower pay than colleagues doing the same work; being subjected to different rules or standards; or experiencing hostile treatment based on a protected characteristic. If you suspect discrimination, contact us for a free evaluation.
03
What should I do if I'm being sexually harassed?
Document every incident in writing, report it to HR or management through proper channels, and contact an employment attorney immediately. Do not resign — quitting can weaken your claim. We help you navigate the reporting process while building a strong legal case.
04
How much is my employment case worth?
Your case value depends on lost wages, lost benefits, emotional distress, punitive damages (in some cases), and the strength of your evidence. During your free consultation, we evaluate all these factors and give you an honest assessment of your potential recovery.
05
Can my employer force me to sign a non-compete agreement?
Colorado has strict limits on non-compete agreements. As of 2022, non-competes are generally unenforceable for most employees. There are limited exceptions for executives, owners, and specialized roles. We review and challenge overly broad or illegal non-compete clauses.
