Employment Law

If you’re facing challenges in the workplace — from discrimination to wrongful termination — our dedicated employment law team is here to protect your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.

WHY YOU NEED AN EMPLOYMENT LAW ATTORNEY

Employment-related legal issues can be complicated. Whether you’ve been unlawfully terminated, subjected to harassment, or denied fair wages, the right attorney can make all the difference in holding your employer accountable. We combine legal experience, workplace insight, and a client-focused approach to ensure you’re heard, protected, and fairly compensated.

COMMON EMPLOYMENT LAW MATTERS WE HANDLE

• Wrongful Termination — You were fired in violation of your employment contract or in retaliation for asserting your rights (e.g., whistleblowing, reporting harassment).

• Workplace Discrimination — Discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected categories.

• Harassment and Hostile Work Environment — Unwanted behavior, verbal or physical, that creates a hostile or abusive workplace.

• Wage and Hour Violations — Failure to pay minimum wage or overtime, misclassification of employees (exempt vs. non-exempt), tip violations.

• Retaliation — Punitive actions by an employer after you’ve made a complaint, requested leave, or exercised other legal rights.

• Employment Contracts and Severance — Negotiating or litigating employment agreements, non-compete clauses, severance packages, and exit terms.

• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Claims — Issues surrounding medical leave, job reinstatement, or interference with your leave rights.

• Workplace Safety — Violations related to OSHA, unsafe working conditions, or whistleblower protections.

KEY STEPS TO TAKE IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE A CLAIM

1. Document Everything
   Keep detailed records: performance reviews, emails, pay stubs, schedule of hours worked, and any communication that supports your claim.

2. Be Careful How You Communicate
   Avoid making admissions in writing (or recordings) without legal advice. Whether it’s your employer or HR, be measured and professional in your communications, especially early on.

3. Seek Legal Guidance Promptly
   Time may be of the essence: many employment claims have strict deadlines (statutes of limitations). Consult an attorney early so you understand your rights and preserve evidence.

4. Avoid Unfair Settlements
   Employers or insurers may present quick but inadequate settlement offers. Having a skilled employment lawyer can help you evaluate whether an offer truly reflects the value of your claim.

5. Prepare for the Process
   Whether negotiation or litigation, you’ll want to understand what to expect — from discovery and depositions to possible mediation or trial. Your attorney will guide you every step of the way.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RIGHTS: LEGAL CONCEPTS IN EMPLOYMENT LAW

• At-Will vs. Contract Employment: In many places, employment is “at-will,” which means either party can end the relationship unless a contract says otherwise. However, even at-will workers are protected from illegal discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.

• Disparate Treatment vs. Disparate Impact: Discrimination can be intentional (treatment) or based on policies that disproportionately harm a protected group (impact).

• Constructive Discharge: If working conditions become so intolerable because of unlawful conduct, you may be considered “forced” to resign, which can support a claim.

• Punitive and Compensatory Damages: Depending on the case, you may be eligible not just for lost wages but also for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees.
