I am a graduate of Columbia (B.A., 1966) and the University of Colorado School of Law (J.D., 1969). I have been licensed to practice law in the State of Colorado and the U.S. District Court of the District of Colorado since 1969. I am also admitted to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. I have practiced in Colorado since completing a clerkship with Justice Robert B. Lee of the Colorado Supreme Court. I have also served as a municipal court judge.
I have been practicing law for more than 45 years and for the last 35 of those years, have specialized in employment law. I devote approximately 80% of my practice to the representation of employees in labor and employment law disputes in the private sector.
I have represented numerous private and public employees before the EEOC, CCRD, OFO, the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board and various agencies and governmental entities. I have also represented employees in state courts, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
I am a long-time member of both NELA (National Employment Lawyers Association) and previously a member of the Board of Directors of PELA (Plaintiff Employment Lawyers Association). I often advise colleagues with regard to legal issues that they may encounter from time to time.

Elwyn provided excellent legal representation to me from the initial consultation thru the negotiating process [after I hired him] to the conclusion of my legal matter. Elwyn will tell you what you NEED to hear, NOT what you WANT to hear. I referred a personal friend to Elwyn as well once my matter...

Elwyn brought a settlement to my situation, as well as closure to approximately two years of a legal odyssey comparable to any or all of the Greek Mythological tales ever told.
"I most definitely endorse Elwyn. We have co-counseled difficult cases over the years and I have learned a tremendous amount from Elwyn. He is very talented and skilled at determining the best course of action for his clients when it comes to a settlement that helps them move on with their lives, but never shies away from taking cases to trial when that is the best or only option for his clients. Elwyn is someone I have tried to emulate in a variety of ways."
"I have known Elwyn for the past three decades and I unconditionally endorse him. Elwyn is my go-to guy for anything related to employment or discrimination law."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known and practiced with Elwyn for over twenty years. During that time, I have discovered that he is one of the most fearless attorneys in the profession. He brings his experience and knowledge of employment law to every case and treats every client with dignity and respect. You could not do better than Elwyn Schaefer as your attorney."
"Elwyn is an expert in the area of employment law. His years of experience have taught him how to best get matters resolved to the benefit of his clients. He is great at negotiating settlements for his clients that are excellent. I can't think of another attorney who is as good at negotiating good settlements as Elwyn is. If the case doesn't settle and has to go to trial, Elwyn has no problem with that -- he's a darned good trial lawyer, too. He's fearless in court and gives no measure to the other side. He works well with juries and judges. I can't recommend him enough for the big, tough employment cases!"
"Elwyn is a top shelf attorney. He has a great educational background (Columbia undergraduate; University of Colorado JD) and impressive experience. After finishing law school, he clerked for a Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court. He then embarked on 40 year journey of representing individuals in their employment matters. I have consulted with Elwyn on numerous matters. He is always thoughtful and complete in his responses. His answers demonstrate a mastery of the law and a degree of practicality that one only gains after fighting many battles. If you are looking for a successful, aggressive employment lawyer, call Elwyn."
"I 100% endorse this lawyer. Elwyn is a talented and intelligent attorney. He does an excellent job representing his clients. He is an experienced attorney in the courtroom and works hard to get the best results for his clients. He has an extensive amount of experience with employment law and obtaining favorable results for his clients. I highly recommend that you retain Elwyn for any employment law needs."
"Elwyn is an exceptionally focused and patient attorney. He has personally handled a wide variety of cases, from minor employment issues to large class actions. He has the ability to stay very aggressive with insurance companies and large corporate defendants in order to get the best possible results for his clients. He also devotes endless hours to his clients, to answer all of their questions and address all of their concerns. I highly reccomend him."
