Championing Employee Rights and Workplace Fairness Across Illinois
Facing workplace injustice or sudden retaliatory discharge destabilizes a career and personal wellbeing. Established in 1986, Favaro and Gorman, Ltd. has dedicated decades to leveling the playing field for employees confronting unlawful corporate conduct. Headquartered at Walden Office Square in Schaumburg, the firm represents workers throughout Cook, DuPage, Lake, and McHenry Counties. Founding principals Dennis R. Favaro and Patrick J. Gorman established the firm to protect workers rather than corporations. As distinguished employment and labor lawyers, the partners bring extensive acumen to each dispute, confronting unlawful employer actions in state and federal courts across Northern Illinois.
Unlawful Termination and Retaliatory Discharge Claims
Losing employment due to illegal motives harms personal and financial stability. Serving as resolute wrongful termination lawyers, the firm challenges employers that discharge staff in violation of public policy, statutory protections, or contract terms. The attorneys handle complex retaliatory discharge lawsuits where employees were fired for reporting illegal corporate actions or filing claims. When workers need to find a lawyer who will uncover corporate pretext, Favaro and Gorman builds evidence-backed claims to pursue lost earnings, compensatory damages, and career restoration.
Workplace Discrimination and Hostile Work Environments
Unlawful bias has no place in any workplace. Functioning as dedicated workplace discrimination lawyers, the legal team advocates for employees subjected to adverse actions based on race, gender, pregnancy, age, disability, national origin, or sexual orientation. Acting as compassionate harassment lawyers, the firm provides steadfast representation to workers enduring toxic, hostile work environments and sexual harassment. The attorneys file formal charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Illinois Department of Human Rights to hold employers accountable.
Wage and Hour Violations, Overtime, and Pay Disputes
Workers deserve every dollar they earn through their honest labor. Acting as tenacious wage and hour lawyers, Favaro and Gorman represents employees whose wages have been improperly withheld. The firm prosecutes violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, including unpaid overtime premiums, improper job misclassifications, off-the-clock labor demands, and withheld commissions or bonuses. The team calculates unpaid damages meticulously, pursuing statutory penalties and mandatory attorney fees on behalf of aggrieved workers.
Executive Severance Agreements and Restrictive Covenants
Entering or exiting an employment relationship often involves intricate legal agreements. Serving as knowledgeable contract lawyers, the attorneys counsel executives, managers, and specialized professionals on severance agreements, non-compete clauses, non-solicitation covenants, and trade secret disputes. The firm reviews separation terms under the Illinois Freedom to Work Act to maximize severance pay and preserve future professional mobility.
