Our Labor And Employment Law Services
Finding a lawyer with your best interests at heart can be tough. Here is a partial list of the employment law services we can provide to our employee and employer clients:
- Workers’ compensation: Common issues include denied claims or inadequate benefits for work-related injuries. Hiring an attorney can help navigate the complex claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to.
- Termination of employment: Employees and employers may become involved in wrongful termination or breaches of contract claims. We can assess the legality of the termination, either defending the employer’s choice or seeking compensation or reinstatement if the employee has a valid claim.
- Sexual harassment: Victims often deal with hostile work environments or fear of retaliation. We can guide victims through the process of safely reporting harassment and pursuing legal action. We can also provide knowledgeable guidance to employers on how to address the issue or defend their actions.
- Noncompete agreements: The Federal Trade Commission’s ban on most noncompete contracts means many are unenforceable. Still, there may be legal issues regarding the employee agreement to discuss.
- Discrimination: Employees might experience unequal treatment based on race, gender, age or other protected characteristics. We can help gather evidence, file a claim and represent you in seeking justice and compensation. Conversely, not all claims have legal standing. Contact us to discuss your case.
- Whistleblower and retaliation: Unfortunately, whistleblowers may face retaliation for reporting illegal activities. We can help protect the employee’s rights under whistleblower laws and seek remedies for any retaliatory actions taken against you. If the employer has a valid defense, we can defend their legal actions.
