When to Call an Employment Litigation Lawyer
Our employment litigation attorneys provide expertise when it’s needed most. If you’ve attempted to resolve the matter via internal sources without luck, call our lawyers without delay.
Talking to an attorney is without cost or risk. Schedule a free consultation and we’ll sit down to discuss the facts of your case and help you learn the best manner to proceed. We may even be able to start your case without any money needed upfront.
Call an employment lawyer any time you feel that your rights have been violated, such as:
- Sexual Harassment: If coworkers, managers, or other people at your workplace make inappropriate jokes or comments, even if they are not directed toward you and your attempt to dissuade the behavior hasn’t helped, let us help you.
- Retaliation: Some employers may create hostile work environments or take other steps in acts of retaliation against whistleblowers or others who have reported issues at the workplace. Our lawyers know exactly how to handle this issue.
- Discrimination: If your employer has discriminated against you based on race, sex, religion, or other protected classes, let us know. We understand discrimination laws and work for your best interests to ensure that it is resolved promptly and as favorably toward you as possible.
- Wrongful Termination: Wrongful termination can happen if you lose your job based on a protected class, as an act of retaliation, and in several other situations. It is illegal to terminate an employee based on these protected classes. If you feel your termination was related to a protected class, we want to hear from you.
- Pay Disputes: It is illegal for an employer to ask you to work without pay, fail to pay you for all hours worked, or fail to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 in one week. If pay issues arise that internal sources cannot resolve, we are here to take care of the matter and ensure you get the money you are entitled to receive.
