For employees, we work with you if you have been wronged.
Employment litigation includes a wide variety of disputes that occur between employees and employers including wrongful termination, termination and denial of employee benefits including health or pension related benefits, nonpayment of wages, breach of employment contracts, and the termination of a whistle blower. Federal and state Whistleblower laws protect an individual from being terminated for reporting an employer's illegal activity to authorities. Additionally, we offer a wide spectrum of litigation services primarily focused on employees who have been the subject of sexual harassment or have been discriminated against based upon their race, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, or handicap. There are many federal and state laws that protect individuals against unlawful conduct in the workplace and provide a legal method by which to obtain monetary and other types of relief. Contact us.
