Meticulous Wage and Hour Law and Unpaid Overtime Class Actions
Wage theft is one of the most common workplace violations, often taking the form of unpaid overtime, misclassifying employees as independent contractors, or requiring off-the-clock work. Dugan Schlozman specializes in wage and hour law, helping workers recover their hard-earned compensation. The firm represents individual employees and handles massive collective actions and class actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Whether you were denied a minimum wage, had your tips pooled unlawfully, or were misclassified to avoid overtime pay, the firm's legal team works on a contingency-fee basis to aggressively recover your back pay, liquidated damages, and attorney fees, with no upfront costs to you.
Tenacious Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Defense
Every employee deserves a safe, respectful working environment free from unlawful bias and intimidation. Dugan Schlozman represents employees facing severe workplace discrimination, including age discrimination, disability discrimination, gender discrimination, and racial discrimination or harassment. They also advocate passionately for victims of sexual harassment and hostile work environments. If you have been denied a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or were penalized for utilizing your Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) rights, the firm provides supportive and strategic representation. By preparing every case as if it is going to trial, they ensure your rights are protected throughout EEOC investigations and civil litigation.
Fighting Wrongful Termination, Retaliation, and Whistleblower Discrimination
Losing your job is stressful, but being terminated for standing up for your rights is illegal. Dugan Schlozman represents employees in wrongful termination and employer retaliation claims. If you were fired or demoted for reporting safety violations, exposing corporate fraud, or cooperating with an investigation, the firm provides aggressive whistleblower representation. They help clients navigate state and federal whistleblower protection laws, working to recover lost wages, emotional distress damages, and reinstatement when appropriate, ensuring that employers face real legal consequences for retaliatory actions.
