Employment Law Matters

We can assist you by:

• Workplace Discrimination: Workplace discrimination often occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, or national origin. Legal action may be necessary if you believe you have been discriminated against in hiring, promotion, or other employment decisions. We can assist you in filing complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and seeking legal claims to hold your employer accountable for discriminatory practices.
• FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act): The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) delivers eligible employees with the right to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. If your employer has denied you FMLA leave or retaliated against you for taking leave, it's important to seek legal counsel. We can help you enforce your rights under FMLA and ensure your employer complies with the law.
• Hostile Work Environment: A hostile work environment arises when unwelcome behavior, such as harassment or discrimination, becomes so serious or pervasive that it interferes with an employee's ability to work. This can include inappropriate comments, threats, or other forms of mistreatment. If your work environment has become intolerable due to harassment or other hostile actions, we can help you pursue legal remedies and end the abuse.
• Retaliation: Retaliation happens when an employer takes negative action against an employee for engaging in a legally protected activity, such as reporting discrimination, filing a workers' compensation claim, or participating in an investigation. If you have faced retaliation, you may be entitled to compensation and corrective actions from your employer. Our legal team will help you stand up against unlawful retaliation and seek justice for any harm you have experienced.
• Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment in the workplace includes unwelcome sexual advances, inappropriate comments, or physical behavior that makes an intimidating or offensive work environment. No one should be subjected to such treatment, and we are here to help you take action. We assist victims of sexual harassment in pursuing claims against their employers to stop the harassment and recover damages for the harm they've suffered.
• Severance Agreements: A severance agreement is considered a contract between an employer and an employee that outlines the terms of separation from the company. While these agreements can offer valuable benefits, they often include terms that limit your ability to seek further legal recourse. Before signing a severance agreement, it's important to have it reviewed by an employment attorney to ensure your rights are protected. We will help you negotiate favorable terms or challenge any provisions that may disadvantage you.
• Wage and Hour Disputes: Wage and hour disputes arise when employers fail to pay employees the wages they are legally owed, such as overtime, minimum wage, or earned bonuses. Misclassification of employees as exempt from overtime pay can also result in wage violations. If you believe your employer has violated wage and hour laws, we can help you recover the compensation you rightfully deserve through negotiation or litigation.
• Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination often occurs when an employee is fired for an illegal reason, like discrimination, retaliation, or violation of public policy. If you were terminated under suspicious circumstances or believe your firing was unlawful, we can investigate your case and help you pursue legal action against your employer. You may be qualified for compensation for lost wages and benefits and reinstatement to your position.
