In recent years, changes to Colorado’s wage and hour law have expanded the rights of employees and increased the ways in which employees can recover their lost wages. Now, more than ever in Colorado history, individuals are empowered to enforce their rights and collect the hard-earned wages that they are owed.
Yet, each year in Colorado, over $750,000,000.00 in wages are unpaid. Despite the changes in the law, few if any other law firms have responded to this increased need for representation, leaving almost only the State to enforce the rights for most hard-working Coloradans.
Wilhite Law Firm Steps Up for Unpaid Workers
While the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has taken great steps to enforce the rights of Coloradans, the CDLE can only help hundreds of people a year and not the thousands and thousands who are underpaid. This leaves many Coloradans with no recourse, but to forgo the hard-earned money they are entitled to receive. At the Wilhite Law Firm, we could not let this injustice stand. We have decided to become the first and most effective law firm in Colorado focused on filling that need. While we have done this work for many years, we have decided to significantly expand our department to be able to help those thousands of Colorado families who are not having their rights protected.
Here, at the Wilhite Law Firm, we believe that the hard-earned money of Colorado’s workforce belongs in the hands of the workers. We recognize that many firms refuse to represent individual workers with just their own individual claims, leaving many people to fend for themselves. These workers too often go unpaid, due to the common misunderstanding that attorneys are too expensive, especially for someone who has already not been properly paid for their work.
What Is The Wilhite Law Firm Doing About Unpaid Workers?
We are going to fill this void and serve the huge number of individuals who have not been paid properly for their work. We currently represent one worker who was not paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in minimum wages over the course of 6 years. But we will represent you even if it’s just $100 you were not paid. To us, no claim is too small, or too large.
