Outstanding Results, Empathetic Individual

Ben DeGolia represented me in a complex wrongful termination and discrimination case, and the results were outstanding. He was kind, empathetic, and communicative throughout the entire process, and he truly understood the weight of what I was dealing with — not just legally, but personally. I would s...trongly recommend him to anyone navigating a complex employment or discrimination matter.

Top discrimination attorney in the state !

I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible support I received from Benjamin DeGolia during my housing discrimination case. After enduring a year of stress trying to handle everything on my own, I finally hired him, and the relief was immediate. Ben’s professionalism and deep understanding of... housing discrimination laws made a world of difference for me. He was incredibly patient, especially considering my challenges with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Despite my struggles with communication and timeliness, Ben never once complained. Instead, he found ways to accommodate my needs, like sending me texts to ensure I didn’t miss important emails in my overflowing inbox. I was especially impressed by his commitment—he traveled five hours outside of Denver for depositions and spent nearly a week in Montrose. Thanks to his efforts, we settled the case successfully, and now many others in our community can walk their support dogs without fear of harassment or having to drive 15 min away. Ben truly changed my life, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
