Core Employment Law and Workers' Rights Practice

Van Hall Employment Law focuses on protecting employees across diverse industries in Colorado. The firm provides rigorous counsel in matters involving:

• Wrongful termination: Challenging illegal firings based on discrimination, whistleblowing activities, or violations of public policy.
• Workplace discrimination: Holding employers accountable for adverse actions based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or pregnancy under Title VII and state statutes.
• Sexual harassment and hostile workplace: Defending employees against pervasive misconduct, quid pro quo harassment, and intolerable work environments.
• Wage and hour claims: Recovering unpaid overtime, misclassified exempt status wages, tip theft, and violations of the Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order.
• Severance agreement negotiation: Reviewing release terms, non-compete clauses, and negotiating higher separation packages before you sign away your rights.
• Disciplinary hearings and union representation: Advocating for public employees during administrative grievances and collective bargaining arbitrations.

Protecting Fundamental Civil Rights and Constitutional Protections

In addition to workplace claims, Van Hall Employment Law aggressively litigates civil rights cases. The firm handles claims involving government overreach, First Amendment violations, public records transparency disputes under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. When public or private entities disregard statutory protections, the firm steps forward to enforce accountability.

Recognizing that legal expenses should not prevent individuals from seeking justice, the firm emphasizes transparent fee structures. Services include reduced-rate initial strategy sessions, flat-fee contract evaluations, and contingency fee arrangements for qualifying employment disputes.
