Who is Spark Justice Law?

Spark Justice Law is a Colorado civil rights and employment law firm founded by Laura Wolf, representing individuals facing discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and civil rights violations.

Founded in 2020, Spark Justice Law focuses on holding employers, institutions, and government agencies accountable, not just resolving individual cases quietly, but pursuing the kind of outcomes that create lasting change. The firm's work has included a nearly $4 million jury verdict for a survivor of workplace sexual assault, a motion to stop excessive force by Denver police during the 2020 protests, and a race discrimination case against the Fort Collins Police Department that led to the creation of an independent EEO office.

Laura's background includes a partnership at one of Colorado's largest civil rights firms and a clerkship for a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.

Client Testimonials

Previous Client
"Laura Wolf is absolutely the best lawyer you could ask for. Having never worked with a law firm or lawyer before, I was very nervous and scared initiating this process. From day one of meeting her, she was kind, respectful, and sensitive to the sexual trauma I had experienced regarding my case. I was fortunate enough to be able to deal directly with Laura through the course of the case, and she was very strategic throughout the process to get me the best possible outcome. Laura's communication throughout the legal process (both criminal and civil) was always thorough, and she was always open to chat to clarity any questions I had (even when she had answered them before!). Laura helped make an awful situation a little less awful by being not only my counsel but also advocating for me in every way she could. She made some lasting impacts and recommendations to me that went well beyond the monetary impact of this case and helped me to get on the path to healing. Laura truly makes a difference by helping people and by holding those who did wrong accountable. Thank you, Laura!"

"Professional, smart and honest - I was extremely pleased with the legal advice and excellent customer service Laura Wolf provided. She contacted me very quickly to set up the consultation, identified the legal issues and suggested a course of action that did not involve hiring her. Her advice was spot on and the issue was quickly resolved. She even reached out to follow up. I found her professional, smart, honest and easy to talk to, I would defiantly recommend Laura Wolf.?"

"A breath of fresh air! I first learned of Laura and her firm via a referral from a nationally recognized counselor and speaker on labor and employment issues, who represents companies on behalf of the employer. Doing my own research, I discovered that Laura's background, experience, qualifications, and incredible amounts of activity and leadership in the legal community on issues that affect all of us, was just the recipe I could hope for in someone to represent me. I knew I had to meet her.

Seriously, Laura's curriculum vitae is the envy of attorneys many years her senior. Laura and her team (Steve specifically) are very responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. From initial consultation through final closure, you know that your best interest is at the heart of the process. Laura will fight on your behalf to get the best outcome for you, whether that is a settlement or going to trial. She cares not about the most profitable outcome for herself but rather for you.

She is hard-working and passionate in all she does throughout all phases of the process, and does so with empathy, sincerity, and respect for everyone involved.

Laura is your David in the Goliaths of the world and someone you'd like to get into good trouble with -a breath of fresh air!"

"If you are looking for an amazing lawyer who will think of every possible solution for your case, Laura Wolf should be your first choice. From the first conversation | had with her, to the last in the conclusion of my case, she had a strategic mindset and a caring heart. Laura works hard to make sure you understand the entire process and is doing right by you. She is not going to do things just because and to drive up your bill. Her honesty and foresight helped my case get resolved quickly and as economically as possible. Laura takes on the case to do her very best, and when it is all done, the other side is left impressed by her skills and wishing she was on their team instead of against them. I could go on and on about Laura's greatness, but you should select her as your lawyer and see for yourself."

"Laura and her team worked tirelessly and faithfully for months on end, and I can honestly say they made what is inherently a tough and painful experience easier to handle in so many ways. Laura was with us (the victim and witness) every step on our journey to find justice, both by our side as support and out in front, leading us to victory. In the end, I'm convinced she knew our case better than we did, and I have NEVER seen someone fight so hard to bring forth justice. She was constantly and consistently in touch, updating us on the progression of the case, which was so helpful and reassuring. One of the most impactful moments with her was on the anniversary of the assault: she had a seemingly mini panic attack because she couldn't reach the victim that day, so she contacted me (the witness) to confirm that the victim was doing well, as that day can be (understandably) triggering. It showed a level of concern and care that I would normally associate with a friend, therapist, or momma bear, all three of which Laura ended up being to us. She is a remarkable woman and an absolutely outstanding lawyer. To this day, I still find myself reflecting back on the entire experience and am so grateful to have had her by our side. We were in excellent, experienced, and more than capable hands the entire time. A million thanks to Laura and her team for everything they did for

us!

"Laura changed my life.

I found Laura through a friend who is a lawyer - this is to say my friend is very honest and had my best interest at heart. I cannot state this enough - Laura is the best lawyer I have ever come across and she changed my life. Briefly, I was fired for pursuing fertility treatment and ultimately, getting pregnant. I was devastated - pregnant, without income, without health insurance, etc... Laura was very quick to explain all the different ways my firing was illegal. She coached me (an emotional, not always rational, mess) through what would happen at each step of the process and when it wears going to happen. She let me know things would take a while and how to best prepare. She gave me all my options and let me decide what was best for my family. She spent HOURS combing through a years worth of documentation including calls, emails, and handwritten notes. Most of all - she was Omsk patient with me, compassionate, kind, and understanding.

Finally, when my former employer was being difficult just for the sake of driving up my bills with her, Laura worked it out in a way that protected me from their attempts to financially ruin me. I recommend her whenever possible and I mean this genuinely - working with Laura allowed me to enjoy my pregnancy and the birth of my first child in a way that would not have been possible without her support, long hours, and determination to get me what I was owed and force the company to face the consequences of their actions."

"I am forever grateful to Laura and her team for their hard work and dedication to my case. Laura took a dark time in my life and gave me hope, strength, and courage to move forward. I couldn't have asked for someone more qualified, trustworthy, and compassionate. Not only did Laura fight for my case, but she did so in a way that was sensitive and trauma-informed to my situation. She made me feel comforted, protected, and at ease in the most uneasiest of times in my life. When I felt confused or lost in the process, Laura educated me and explained everything in a way that I could understand. Laura was by my side every step of the way, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you for transforming a dark time in my life into a brighter future."

"Laura Wolf helped me reclaim my power and stand up for my rights when a dream career had turned into a waking nightmare. Through deadlines and filings to briefings and mediations, Laura always stayed on top of the many details involved in filing litigation while keeping me informed and involved as needed. She gave me clear direction and support around what was required of me throughout the process, and I felt her compassion extended to me as a human being, not just as a client. Her intellect and authenticity give her a clear edge over her peers because she isn't just fighting for you, she's fighting for America's justice system; when one person's legal rights are violated, it's a threat to everyone's legal rights. Our government needs attorneys like Laura Wolf to hold our society accountable for its choices and conduct. We're all fortunate to have someone like Laura in our judicial system to protect our rights."

"Extraordinary Attorney with a deep understanding of human nature. Laura Wolf assisted me with a challenging work-related situation that required a competent and humane attorney. Laura went above and beyond to protect me. I was deeply inspired by her understanding of human nature and emotions. She is not only an attorney but a wise individual who cares about not the most profitable outcome of a legal situation for her. Her role is clearly to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients regardless of any financial gain for her. She is fair, objective, and has the utmost respect for everyone involved. I would recommend her as the best attorney in the city and probably one of the best in the country. I am pretty sure that my assessment of Laura's skills and qualities is one that all her clients share. I feel lucky and honored to have Laura on my side and look after me as an individual from all perspectives, not only from the legal one. She is a superb attorney and human being!

"Valuable, thoughtful counsel - Laura and her team were candid and up front with advice and expectations.

She guided us through a very sticky situation and got us to the most favorable result we could have asked for. Would definitely recommend and use them again."

"Personalized and empathetic wage claim support - Laura and her team supported my colleagues and I during one of the most devastating and upsetting times we have been through. She was incredibly knowledgeable, generous with her time and insight, and provided us with personalized care that resulted in the payment of roughly $70,000 worth of unpaid wages to our team. I cannot thank her enough for her selfless assistance during such a rough and stressful time. I will be singing her praises and recommending her to anyone in need."

"I retained Laura Wolf in 2016 after experiencing sexual harassment and retaliation in the workplace. Laura is an exceptional attorney and individual. From the onset, Laura was a relentless advocate and demonstrated an unparalleled work ethic. Unique from other attorneys, Laura truly valued my opinions and invested her time to get to know me, answer my questions about the legal process, and ensure I understood my rights. Initially, I was hesitant about pursuing claims against my former employer because I was afraid it would negatively impact my career or result in further traumatization;

however, as soon as I met Laura, my fears were vanquished and replaced with confidence and motivation. Laura was extremely knowledgeable, professional, reliable, and honest, and went above and beyond to ensure a successful conclusion. If it weren't for her tenacity and thoroughness, I would never have reached the successful outcomes that I have. I would recommend Laura Wolf to my family and friends and anyone seeking excellent and ethical legal representation."

"I was fortunate to work with Laura on an issue of discrimination that I felt had occurred. She listened to my concerns with empathy and true understanding.

Her knowledge of and experience with discrimination law helped her provide me with the best direction to take and helped my decision to pursue my case with her. Laura kept me updated on each step along the way and truly made me a partner in all decisions ensuring that I was aware of all options and how they may affect both me and my family. Laura also saw the opportunity to not only help me individually but also make a broader change. She looked at how my situation might be affecting others in the community and sought out how she could help fight to change the law to prevent others from facing discrimination in Colorado. I am glad I chose Laura to represent me, and I highly recommend her."

"Excellent Legal Representation. I was referred to Laura by a mutual friend, a lawyer who considers Laura one of the best civil rights and employment law attorneys in the Mountain West region. From our first interaction, it was clear that Laura possesses a vast understanding of the law. She is well-educated, well-read, knowledgeable, and has a proven track record of success. She is a strong advocate whose virtues and empathy bring understanding and calm to client interactions. It is no surprise that she is well-regarded in the legal community, and she has contributed through civic engagement to meaningful legislation. Laura and her team were responsive, transparent, and did a great job foretelling the legal process to ensure I had an understanding and alignment with the goals and expectations we discussed. Laura is a hard-working fighter who always keeps her client's best interest at heart. She possesses incredible intuition to anticipate how opposing counsel may act or respond, and a tactful demeanor to forge common ground, if there is any to be found. Working with Laura brought ease and comfort to an otherwise traumatic situation. I recommend her highly if you need counsel."
