Comprehensive Employment and Labor Law Practice

The practice is focused on employee-side representation, holding employers accountable when they violate state and federal labor statutes.

Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Claims

Losing your job without just cause can upend your entire livelihood. While Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, terminating an employee for discriminatory reasons, in violation of public policy, or in retaliation for reporting misconduct is illegal. The firm represents employees who have been fired for reporting safety issues, cooperating with government investigations, or exercising their statutory rights. If you need a wrongful termination lawyer to review a suspicious severance package or challenge an unlawful firing, Timothy McNair protects your interests.

Workplace Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

Every worker is entitled to an environment free from hostility and unfair bias. The firm advocates for individuals subjected to discrimination based on age, disability, race, gender, pregnancy, religion, or sexual orientation under Title VII and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. Additionally, attorney McNair aggressively pursues claims against employers who tolerate hostile workplace conditions or quid pro quo sexual harassment, striving to secure lost earnings, compensatory damages, and structural workplace change.

Wage and Hour Violations

Employers frequently misclassify hourly workers as exempt or fail to pay mandatory overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The firm investigates unpaid wages, off-the-clock work, and improper payroll deductions, fighting to recover all unpaid compensation and statutory liquidated damages for hardworking employees.

Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury Representation

In addition to employment litigation, McNair Law Offices delivers skilled advocacy in workers' compensation and catastrophic personal injury claims. Injured workers confronting delayed or denied benefits receive thorough representation through administrative hearings and appeals before the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board. The practice also assists individuals harmed in car accidents, truck collisions, and maritime or boating incidents on Lake Erie. With recognition from Super Lawyers and prestigious pro bono honors from the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Timothy McNair provides free initial consultations to discuss your legal options.
