Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Litigation

Workers should never have to endure bigotry, harassment, or humiliating treatment to earn a living. As dedicated workplace discrimination lawyers, Saggese Mills Law Firm prosecutes claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The firm represents employees subjected to disparate treatment based on race, sex, age, religion, national origin, and pregnancy. Furthermore, as committed harassment lawyers, attorney Mills takes decisive action against hostile work environments and sexual misconduct, guiding workers through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative process and into federal court.

Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Retaliation

Employers often believe that Georgia's employment-at-will status gives them absolute authority to fire workers without consequence. However, firing an employee in retaliation for reporting unlawful practices, opposing safety violations, or blowing the whistle on corporate misconduct is strictly illegal. As experienced wrongful termination lawyers, the firm investigates retaliatory firings under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, OSHA statutes, and federal whistleblower protections. Attorney Mills gathers crucial email documentation, personnel logs, and witness statements to hold abusive corporations accountable for back pay, front pay, and punitive damages.

Wage and Hour Disputes, Overtime, and FMLA Violations

Denying earned compensation or denying statutory family leave violates federal employment standards. Serving as aggressive wage and hour lawyers, the firm represents workers in overtime disputes, minimum wage violations, and commission disagreements under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, attorney Mills defends workers denied medical leave or penalized for taking job-protected time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act, restoring lost financial benefits and vindicating statutory rights.

Executive Severance Agreements and Restrictive Covenants

Executives, managers, and licensed professionals often face restrictive non-compete agreements and complicated severance packages. Saggese Mills Law Firm reviews and negotiates severance contracts to maximize financial exit terms and ensure fair separation packages. Attorney Mills also analyzes non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation covenants, identifying overbroad or unenforceable terms under Georgia contract law to protect workers' ability to pursue their careers freely.
