About Michael Fairhurst

I am the founding Partner of Killmer Lane's Western Slope office based in Carbondale, CO. I've devoted my entire legal career to representing people whose rights have been violated. I have only represented people – and never corporations or other large entities – who have been subjected to abuses of power. I have extensive experience with issues ranging from police misconduct to prisoners' rights to disability rights to employment discrimination and retaliation, and more. I joined Killmer Lane as an Associate Attorney in 2013. Since then, I have been part of the winning trial team in several major employment and civil rights cases. This includes the Marvin Booker v. City and County of Denver case, which resulted in the largest civil rights jury verdict at the time in Colorado history. I became a Senior Associate Attorney in 2016 and a Partner in 2018.
