Do these four things now

What you do in the first weeks decides a lot of employment cases. In order:

1
Write down what happened, with datesWho said what, when, and who was there. Do it today while it is fresh. Save it somewhere your employer cannot reach.
2
Don't quit, and don't sign a severance yetQuitting can weaken a claim. Severance agreements usually release every claim you have. Let us read it first. It is free.
3
Keep your paperworkPay stubs, schedules, texts, emails, the handbook, reviews, the termination letter. Forward work emails to yourself only if your policy allows it; ask us if unsure.
4
Watch the deadline. Call us.Some employment claims must be filed with a state or federal agency first, on short clocks. A ten-minute call tells you where you stand.

What you can get paid for

An employment claim covers what the job took from you, not only the last paycheck.

Find out if you have a case
Unpaid wages and overtimeEvery hour you worked and were not paid for, plus penalties where the law allows.
Lost pay after a wrongful firingWhat you would have earned, and what you will lose while you find the next job.
Emotional distressFor harassment, discrimination and retaliation, the law pays for what it did to you.
Penalties and legal feesMany employment laws make the employer pay your attorney's fees on top of your recovery.
Claims we handle

What counts as a case

If any of these sound like your job, call. If it is not a case, we will tell you that too.

Wrongful terminationFired for a reason the law does not allow: complaining, taking leave, your age, race, sex or disability.
Unpaid wages and overtimeOff-the-clock work, missed overtime, missed breaks, final pay that never came.
HarassmentSexual harassment or a hostile workplace that your employer did not stop.
DiscriminationTreated worse because of who you are: in hiring, pay, promotion or firing.
RetaliationPunished for reporting a problem, joining a complaint or asking for your rights.
MisclassificationCalled a contractor or paid cash when the law says you are an employee.

There is a deadline, and it can be short

Discrimination and harassment claims often must be filed with a state or federal agency within months, before any lawsuit. Wage claims have their own clocks. The right deadline depends on the state and the claim, so call early.

Not from us. The call is confidential. If you decide to bring a claim, we plan with you how and when your employer learns of it, and the law protects you from retaliation for doing so.

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.
