Colorado, I need guidance before I start invoicing my employer for therapy.

I’m trying to find a Colorado employment lawyer who knows how to deal with overtime violations, misclassification, wage theft, and whatever cosmic horror is happening inside our timekeeping system. Imagine working 12‑hour days, 40+ hour weeks, and then discovering your timesheet says you worked “3.2 hours.” Incredible. Revolutionary. Almost artistic.

And here’s the kicker: the place literally does employment law. Like, professionally. As in, they explain wage theft to other people while accidentally speedrunning it internally. It’s like being treated for smoke inhalation by a guy actively lighting a cigarette.

Time entries get “edited,” “adjusted,” “reallocated,” and occasionally “yeeted into the abyss.” Non‑billable work? Doesn’t count for much. Asking about Colorado overtime laws or Denver wage theft rules triggers an immediate vibe shift. Suddenly you’re getting extra scrutiny, surprise performance chats, and the kind of energy that says “stop asking questions and maybe also stop existing.”

So yeah. If anyone knows a Denver wage‑and‑hour attorney or Colorado workplace lawyer who’s good at dealing with employers who treat timekeeping like improv comedy AND have the audacity to practice employment law themselves, drop some names.

Hey all — hoping someone here has been through something similar.

I’m trying to find a good employment lawyer in Colorado, preferably Denver‑based, who really knows their stuff when it comes to overtime violations, misclassification, weird timekeeping practices, and retaliation. I’m not trying to blast my employer publicly, but let’s just say the situation has gotten… messy.

Long story short: a bunch of employees have been working way over 40 hours a week, sometimes 12+ hour days, but the way time is tracked doesn’t actually reflect the hours we work. Think: billable time gets counted, but other hours somehow disappears. Some entries get “adjusted,” some get deleted, and a lot of the work we do isn’t recorded at all. And when people started asking questions about overtime or pay, the vibe changed fast: suddenly there’s weird scrutiny, shifting expectations, and pressure to stop talking about it.

I know Colorado has strong wage theft laws and protections around retaliation, but I want someone who actually knows how to navigate Denver’s wage theft ordinance, Colorado overtime rules, and wage‑and‑hour investigations.

If anyone has recommendations for Colorado employment lawyers, Denver wage‑and‑hour attorneys, or just someone who’s actually good at fighting this kind of thing, I’d appreciate it.
