Greisen Law Represents High-Ranking City of Denver Employee in Gender Discrimination Claim

When the woman in charge of the City of Denver’s hiring and discipline for police and firefighters experienced gender discrimination, she called Greisen Law.

Our client was passed over for a promotion by a less-qualified man, at the same time her title was taken away. Despite having less experience and qualifications, her male colleague began making several thousand dollars more each year than she did. As Paula Greisen explained, “Why is she being paid less, and why is she not being told about these promotional opportunities? She did what a lot of women do, and tried to address this privately. But the City’s vision of equity and equality is not happening.”

Greisen Law is proud to represent our client in this dispute and will strive to ensure this discrimination ends.
