Helen

Partner

Helen Oh is a partner at Tyrone Glover Law. She specializes in civil rights, employment discrimination, and criminal defense, representing individuals who have had their civil rights violated at the hands of government actors or employers, or are facing criminal charges. 

Helen became a lawyer after personal and professional experiences showed her the many injustices faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, LGBTQ individuals, individuals with disabilities or living in poverty, immigrants and noncitizens, and other diverse communities. Understanding that the fight for equality was far from over, while recognizing the incredible sacrifices made by activists and impacted communities long before her, Helen became committed to pursuing a career in the public interest.

Helen started her legal career at a civil rights law firm in Denver, Colorado, where she successfully litigated cases on behalf of individuals with claims of police brutality and misconduct, jail and prison denial of medical care or failure to protect from harm, free speech violations, due process violations, and employment discrimination. 

Helen has also passionately fought for her clients who were facing criminal charges as a public defender in the Denver Office of the Municipal Public Defender. In a system that is fundamentally broken, biased, and unjust, Helen has spent countless hours with clients and in the courthouse briefing and arguing constitutional violations, bond reductions, negotiating potential plea agreements, and defending clients at trial.

After her service in the public defender's office, Helen returned to her passion for civil rights advocacy in private practice. She focuses on representing individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated and plaintiffs pursuing employment discrimination claims. Her experience spans a wide range of civil rights matters, including addressing violations of free speech, search and seizure, unlawful arrest, due process, cruel and unusual punishment, and employment discrimination and retaliation.
