Townsel Law Firm - Schaumburg, IL

Dedicated Employment and Labor Advocacy in Schaumburg

Experiencing injustice, harassment, or unlawful termination at your place of employment can disrupt your career and threaten your financial well-being. At Townsel Law Firm, founding attorney Andre Eugene Townsel provides tenacious, strategic representation for clients confronting workplace conflicts across Schaumburg and the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Located at 1701 Woodfield Rd Suite 900, the firm handles the full spectrum of federal and Illinois labor statutes, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Illinois Human Rights Act. Whether negotiating complex executive severance packages or taking employers to federal court, Attorney Townsel is dedicated to achieving accountability and fair restitution for injured workers.

Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Retaliation

Although Illinois operates primarily as an at-will employment state, terminating an employee for discriminatory reasons or in retaliation for protected activities is illegal. Serving as dedicated wrongful termination lawyers, the firm defends workers discharged after reporting corporate misconduct, filing workers compensation claims, or requesting medical leave. Attorney Townsel investigates termination timelines, personnel files, and internal communications to uncover pretextual firings and pursue lost wages, emotional distress damages, and statutory penalties.

Workplace Discrimination and Civil Rights Advocacy

Every worker deserves equal respect and fair opportunity in the workplace. Operating as committed workplace discrimination lawyers, the practice represents individuals who have faced adverse employment actions, demotions, pay disparities, or denied promotions due to race, gender, pregnancy, religion, national origin, age, or disability. The firm guides clients through formal filing procedures before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR), ensuring critical deadlines are strictly met.

Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment Claims

No individual should endure intimidating or degrading behavior on the job. Functioning as compassionate harassment lawyers, the firm advocates for employees subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, abusive comments, or hostile work environments that employers knew about yet failed to remedy. The practice provides discreet, resolute legal support to halt ongoing harassment and hold offending companies accountable.

Wage and Hour Violations, Overtime, and Employment Contracts

Employers frequently misclassify workers as exempt salaried employees or independent contractors to evade lawful overtime pay. Working as experienced wage and hour lawyers and contract lawyers, the firm recovers unpaid minimum wages, overtime pay, and earned commissions under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Illinois wage payment laws. The firm also assists professionals with non-compete reviews and severance contract negotiations.
