Fighting Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

No worker should have to endure discrimination or harassment on the job. Federal and state laws strictly prohibit employers from making employment decisions based on protected traits such as race, gender, age, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or disability. Doyle & Bruce LLC represents victims of workplace discrimination and hostile work environments. If you need to hire an employment attorney to investigate discriminatory practices, file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or represent you in court, our attorneys are equipped to handle complex employment litigation from start to finish.

Wrongful Termination and Unlawful Retaliation

Losing a job is difficult, but it is illegal when your employer fires you for unlawful reasons. In Kansas and Missouri, employers cannot terminate employees in retaliation for reporting illegal activity, claiming workers' compensation, or participating in a discrimination investigation. If you suspect you were fired for standing up for your rights, you should find a lawyer who understands wrongful discharge claims. Daniel Doyle and Robert Bruce have successfully represented numerous plaintiffs in wrongful termination lawsuits, securing substantial jury verdicts and favorable settlements for workers who faced retaliation.

Protecting Your Right to Proper Wages and Overtime

Wage theft is a widespread issue that affects thousands of workers every year. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees must be paid for all hours worked, including appropriate overtime pay. Doyle & Bruce LLC assists workers with wage and hour disputes, such as unpaid overtime, misclassification as independent contractors, and stolen tips. If you need a lawyer urgently to recover your unpaid wages, our team will audit your employer's records and pursue the compensation you earned.

Strong Representation for Workers Compensation and On-the-Job Injuries

Getting injured while performing your job duties can leave you unable to support your family. Under state laws, injured employees are typically entitled to medical treatment and temporary disability benefits. Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies often delay or deny workers' compensation claims to protect their bottom lines. Doyle & Bruce LLC has extensive experience helping injured workers navigate the complexities of the workers' compensation system. We ensure you receive high-quality medical care, appropriate disability payments, and fair compensation for any permanent injuries.

Dedicated Trial and Appellate Practice

What sets Doyle & Bruce LLC apart is our strong commitment to courtroom advocacy. While we always strive for efficient out-of-court resolutions, we are never afraid to take on large corporate giants in front of a jury. Partners Daniel Doyle and Robert Bruce have a proven track record of securing plaintiff verdicts in federal and state courts. Furthermore, Robert Bruce brings exceptional appellate experience, having successfully argued complex employment law cases before the Missouri Supreme Court and appellate courts. When you need to hire a lawyer with extensive courtroom and appellate skills, our firm has the experience to guide you through the entire legal process.
