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 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 wanted to post a review to thank the attorney who recently represented me in a discrimination/ retaliation case. My odyssey consisted of appearances before several state and federal agencies over 4 years period prior to final mediation. Elwyn always presented himself as a consummate professional, responsive, honest, knowledgeable, accessible, supportive, inspired confidence and, in sum, an excellent legal representative. A successful mediated settlement was ultimately concluded. My many thanks to Elwyn and his equally competent co-counsel Joe Cohen. Thank you so much to both of you!
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 was successfully resolved.
I couldn’t have done it without you ... “thank you” is never enough...you are truly God sent.....You’re so awesome!!! Elwyn helped me win my case, he is so knowledgeable of the laws and how to win!
Very knowledgable, straight to the point. He made the case go smooth in such a hard moment for my family and I. Thanks again Attorney Schaefer.
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.
Very knowledgeable and responsive, gave excellent advice and brought up good points, kept in close contact and was able to review time-sensitive documents with a very quick turnaround.
I found myself in an unfortunate situation with a former employer regarding a severance agreement and a less than amicable separation, to put it lightly. I searched for countless hours and made numerous phone calls only to be greeted by a receptionist or an answering machine, leaving messages that were answered days, if not weeks later. Elwyn himself answered my initial phone call and was quick to schedule a meeting with me. Given the time sensitive nature of the issues I was facing, I needed someone who was going to respond with immediate counsel and support. Elwyn not only took the time to meet with me as soon as I was available, but he also took the weight off of my shoulders by answering all of my questions and reassuring me that he would take care of the situation as quickly as possible. Upon meeting with Elwyn, it became immediately evident that he had the knowledge, experience and professionalism needed to take on my case. With Elwyn's help, I was able to reach a point of resolution that I didn't initially imagine possible, given the circumstances and threatening nature of the claims against me. With Elwyn, you get what you pay for and can expect that he will do what it takes to make sure that your case is handled as quickly as possible. Additionally, he will align his plan of attack with your desired angle of approach while giving you the best counsel he can provide. I would recommend Elwyn to friends and family alike.
Mr. Schaefer answered my call directly the first time I called him, something that's never happened when I have contacted attorney's. He was upfront and direct that he couldn't help me because he only represents lawsuits against private companies but gave me recommendations and wished me luck. Great guy; wish I could have worked with him.
I was referred to Elwyn for an employment legal issue and his guidance, support and directive was excellent. He manages the emotion of the process very well and represented me with the utmost support and directive. I would highly recommend Elwyn for any person in need of legal services stemming from employment issues given his vast experience, personal guidance, and knowledge of the law. Very grateful for his support during my case and was pleased with the outcome.
Elwyn helped me with my employment discrimination case. His expertise in employment law is second to none. Elwyn explained everything and kept my wife and I involved throughout the process. He advocated on our behalf and always looked out for our best interests. We were able to settle through mediation and I was incredibly happy with the outcome. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Elwyn. I would highly recommend Elwyn for any employment /labor issues.
