If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated from your job, be in touch. While most employment is “at will,” if you were fired due to discrimination, sexual harassment, or retaliation, or if your employer violated your employment agreement or labor laws, you may have a case. As specialists in employment law, we’ve fought and won thousands of wrongful termination cases across the state.

Have you been discriminated against in the workplace based on your race, gender, religion, national origin, physical disability, or age? Have you been passed up for a job or promotion, terminated from your job, harassed or retaliated against because of discriminatory practices? Talk with us; we bring experienced legal expertise to those who’ve been unfairly or illegally treated in the workplace.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires almost all employers to pay employees the minimum wage and to pay non-exempt employees (hourly or salaried) 1½ times their regular rate for working overtime—more 40 hours a week. FSLA also provides for penalties against employers who discipline or discharge employees who complain about lack of wage practices. Talk with us if you think your rights have been violated. We’ve had resounding success recovering back wages and levying penalties against employers who violate FLSA standards.

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide up to 12 weeks of medical leave for employees who experience serious medical conditions or must care for close family members who are experiencing serious medical conditions. If you’ve been denied medical leave or have harassed, disciplined, or discharged for taking covered medical leave, talk with us. We’ll file the necessary claims to ensure your right to medical leave is protected under this federal act.

Federal law prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace. Unwanted advances, requests for sexual favors, or other conduct of a sexual nature has no place in your workplace. If you’re facing sexual harassment on the job, talk with us. There are legal remedies available.
