Our firm is built on a foundation of justice, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to leveling the playing field. We understand that illegal actions in the workplace, such as discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination, can have devastating effects on your career, finances, and well-being. That is why our team of seasoned Employment and Labor Lawyers brings over a century of combined experience to fight for you. We believe that no one should have to endure unlawful treatment at work, and we are here to ensure your voice is heard and your rights are upheld.

A Comprehensive Focus on Employment and Labor Law
Specialization matters. Unlike firms that dabble in various legal fields, Maine Employee Rights Group concentrates exclusively on employment law and workers' rights. This focused approach allows us to maintain a deep and current understanding of the complex web of state and federal laws that protect employees. From the Maine Human Rights Act to federal statutes like the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, we navigate the legal landscape with precision and skill. Our goal is to provide exceptional legal counsel across a broad spectrum of workplace issues. 🤝
- Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: We aggressively combat all forms of illegal discrimination, whether it's based on age, gender, race, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. We fight to hold employers accountable for their discriminatory practices.
- Harassment Lawyers: A hostile work environment is illegal. We represent employees who have been subjected to harassment, including the pervasive issue of sexual harassment, ensuring they can work in a safe and respectful setting.
- Wrongful Termination Lawyers: If you were fired for an illegal reason—such as retaliation for reporting misconduct or for discriminatory reasons—our team works tirelessly to seek justice, reinstatement, or fair compensation for your losses.
- Whistleblower Protection: We protect employees who bravely speak out against illegal activities, unsafe conditions, or fraud. Retaliation against a whistleblower is unlawful, and we ensure those who do the right thing are defended.
- Wage and Hour Lawyers: Our firm addresses issues related to unpaid wages, overtime disputes, and other violations of fair labor standards, ensuring you are paid every dollar you have earned.
- Workers' Compensation Lawyers: For those injured on the job, we navigate the complexities of the workers' compensation system to secure the maximum benefits you are entitled to for medical care and lost wages.
Committed to Justice with No Upfront Cost
We firmly believe that access to justice should not depend on your ability to pay. That is why our firm operates on a contingency-fee basis. This means you owe us absolutely nothing unless and until we win your case. 🏆 There are no upfront retainers or hourly bills. Our fee is a percentage of the financial compensation we recover for you. This approach allows us to represent anyone who has a valid claim, regardless of their financial situation. It also means our goals are perfectly aligned with yours: to achieve the best possible outcome for your case. Our commitment to our clients is reflected in our numerous awards and recognitions, including selections to Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, and a preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. We invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss the specifics of your situation. Let us review the facts, explain your legal options, and provide a clear path forward.
