What types of employment law cases do you handle?
We provide comprehensive representation for employees facing workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, wage & hour disputes, retaliation claims, sexual harassment claims, employment contract disputes, and severance negotiations. Our strategic approach protects your rights and secures favorable outcomes in employment-related legal matters.
How do I know if I was wrongfully terminated?
Wrongful termination occurs when you're fired for illegal reasons such as discrimination based on protected characteristics (race, gender, age, religion, disability), retaliation for reporting violations or filing complaints, refusing to break the law, or in violation of your employment contract. Even in at-will employment states, termination for these reasons is illegal and actionable.
What should I do if I'm experiencing workplace discrimination?
Document everything immediately. Keep detailed records of discriminatory incidents, including dates, witnesses, and any communications. Follow your company's internal complaint procedures if safe to do so. Preserve evidence like emails or performance reviews. Contact us promptly - early legal intervention can strengthen your case and protect against retaliation.
