Denver, Colorado Employment Law and Criminal Defense Attorney

My name is John W. McKendree. I have been assisting clients throughout Colorado for over 40 years in a wide range of matters, with a focus on Employment Law. My practice areas include Labor and Employment, Wrongful Termination, Employment Discrimination, and Criminal Defense.

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and earned my law degree from the University of Denver, College of Law. After many years in private practice, I entered law school following my service in the United States Navy, where I served as Legal Officer among other duties. Since entering private practice, I have represented several unions in the Rocky Mountain Region, serving for years as Special Counsel and then General Counsel to the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers International Union. In the early 1990s, I shifted my focus to employment law, anti-discrimination matters, complex civil trial litigation, and felony criminal defense. While my practice has emphasized complex trial litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants, I have also developed expertise in cases against local and municipal governments, school boards, and continuing criminal defense work.
