Comprehensive Workplace Discrimination and Retaliation Advocacy

Workplace discrimination remains a persistent challenge across many industries. Under federal and state laws, it is illegal for an employer to make adverse hiring, firing, promotion, or pay decisions based on a worker's protected characteristics. ELGKC represents clients who have suffered from discrimination based on race, sex, age, pregnancy, national origin, religion, or disability. Additionally, the firm protects employees from unlawful retaliation. If you were demoted or fired after reporting discrimination, requesting a reasonable accommodation, or filing a workers' compensation claim, the firm stands ready to provide urgent legal counsel to enforce your rights and seek reinstatement or financial damages.

Holding Employers Accountable for Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environments

Every worker deserves a safe, professional work environment free from intimidation and unwanted sexual conduct. Sexual harassment in the workplace can take many forms, including quid pro quo demands from supervisors or a severe and pervasive hostile work environment created by colleagues. Kristi Kingston is a recognized leader in sexual harassment litigation, having secured a notable 2.5 million dollar jury verdict in a landmark sexual harassment trial. The firm helps victims document the unlawful conduct, navigate internal reporting procedures, and pursue formal legal action to hold negligent employers fully accountable for allowing abusive behavior to persist.

Resolving FMLA Violations and Wage and Hour Disputes

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees eligible employees the right to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. Unfortunately, many employers violate the FMLA by denying leave requests, retaliating against workers who take leave, or failing to reinstate them to their original positions upon return. ELGKC represents employees in FMLA interference and retaliation claims. Furthermore, the firm represents workers in wage and hour disputes, ensuring they receive proper compensation for all hours worked, including overtime pay, minimum wage compliance, and correct classification as an employee rather than an independent contractor.
