Best Employment Attorney in Colorado

Paul represented me on a discrimination and wrongful termination case against my former employer. He is an exceptional employment attorney, very competent, professional, knowledgeable about employment laws, and very patient. I am very thankful for his support, and I recommend him to anyone who needs ...an employment attorney.

Excellence!

I called Paul after finding myself in a very upsetting workplace situation. He listened carefully to my explanation of all that had happened and was excellent in his ability to quickly and fully understand the situation as well as the risks and concerns I faced. He was able to guide me through the “w...eeds,” understand my fears, and suggest an approach for addressing the workplace issues. Turns out, Paul’s advice was absolutely spot on, and the course of action he recommended resulted in a positive outcome. I am very grateful that I found him and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing a sensitive employment issue.

With Sincere Gratitude!

The finest most knowledgeable employment lawyer you can engage to assist with the tumultuous battles of employment law.

I am very pleased with the professionalism, determination and support Paul ...provided, and I cannot express enough, how thankful I am to have had Paul Maxon on my side!

Lawyer par excellence

Paul is possibly the finest employment lawyer you can consider engaging. He is ethical, thoughtful, very knowledgeable about employment law, and protective of his clients. My friend and I were sued by our employer in 2010, and Paul defended our case through to jury trial, appeal, and State Supreme... Court. The opposing parties even tried to bring the case to the US Supreme Court, which the court declined to hear. Our stance was that the employer, by bringing this case against us, was an abuse of power. That the employers case was not based in law, but to grind us into the dirt financially by forcing us to defend ourselves against a frivolous lawsuit. Paul, with keen insight developed from years on both side of the employer/employee prosecution and defense saw through this sham of a case, and brought a firm defense that ultimately won approximately a half a million in damages. If you have an employment related case, and you are considering legal counsel, then I would highly recommend that you seek out Paul Maxon and ask for his help.

Employment Contract

My experience with Paul Maxon was all very positive. He helped me with a complex employment contract and helped negotiate us through arbitration. Paul was thourough in his preparation and brought a professionalism and confidence that was outstanding. I would use Paul again, although I hope I never h...ave to!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
