Employment Law
Your job is more than a paycheck. When an employer violates your rights, retaliates against you, or treats you unfairly, the consequences can affect your financial security, career, and family. Our firm represents employees in disputes involving unlawful employment practices and workplace misconduct.
We help employees understand their rights, evaluate their legal options, and pursue appropriate remedies. Depending on the circumstances, that may include negotiating with an employer, pursuing a settlement, filing an administrative claim, or taking the matter to court.
Employment Matters We Handle
Our employment-law practice includes representation in matters involving:
Wrongful termination and retaliation — including termination or adverse employment action following an employee's complaint about unlawful conduct or exercise of a protected right.
Discrimination and harassment — claims involving discrimination or harassment based on legally protected characteristics, including race, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, religion, and other protected statuses.
Wage and hour disputes — claims involving unpaid wages, overtime, improper deductions, misclassification, and other violations of wage-and-hour laws.
Whistleblower claims — protecting employees who report fraud, illegal activity, safety violations, or other unlawful conduct.
Employment agreements and severance — reviewing employment agreements, separation agreements, severance offers, restrictive covenants, and other employment-related contracts.
Workplace retaliation — representing employees who face termination, demotion, reduced hours, discipline, or other adverse treatment after engaging in legally protected activity.
Other employment disputes — including other workplace matters in which an employer's conduct may have violated an employee's legal rights.
Representation Focused on Your Interests
Employment disputes can move quickly, and decisions made early in a dispute can have significant consequences. We work with each client to understand what happened, identify the legal issues involved, preserve important evidence, and develop a strategy based on the client's particular circumstances and goals.
Whether you are still employed, have recently been terminated, or are considering whether to take action against an employer, obtaining legal advice early can help you understand your options before making decisions that may affect your rights.
If you believe your employer has violated your rights, contact our office to discuss your situation and determine whether we can help.
