Justin and team are top-notch attorneys who worked committedly, objectively, tirelessly and candidly with me with timely and successful outcome. I truly appreciate Justin and Colorado Employee Advocates, and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

After an ugly turn of events with my manager, I contacted Justin for help. He responded very quickly and listened carefully as I explained the situation. Justin advised that I should draft a formal complaint and send it to HR. He reviewed the letter and adjusted a few things before it was submitted to HR. It turns out I wasn’t the only person to speak with HR and now she is on an improvement plan. Justin helped put my mind at ease throughout the situation which was tremendously comforting as I was an emotional wreck. Thank you so much Justin for your responsiveness and reassurances.

I recently worked with Justin Plaskov to help me understand my non-compete agreement. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in employment law, and I felt confident throughout the entire process that I was in good hands.

Justin is a very good attorney. He is direct and forthright in explaining the legal merits of the case and the risks. He doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear, he properly explains the law and the pros and cons of varying options. I would highly recommend Justin Plaskov.

I’ve worked with Justin across several engagements over the past few years. Great expertise, highly professional. Fantastic experience all around.

Called in today to see about an unpaid wage suit and was informed that I would need around $400 to even have a consult. My total claim is around $2400, so on top of the first hour being nearly 20% of my total claim, I don’t have money because I haven’t been paid – the cause for the call in the first place.

Very grateful that we found justin, he was very honest from the beginning, always keeping us informed and updated, answering every question and offering solutions in a smart and precise way, I would definitely recommend him

I had the good fortune to work with Justin Plaskov as my trusted counsel in a breach of contract dispute. I’m glad I did.
