Goodley McCarthy LLC – Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia’s Elite Employment Lawyers for Employee Advocacy

Welcome to Goodley McCarthy LLC, a premier employment law firm located in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, exclusively dedicated to protecting and defending the rights of employees. Founded in 2013 by award-winning attorneys Mark D. Goodley and Susan L. McCarthy, our firm was built on the fundamental principle of providing sophisticated, powerful, and client-focused representation to individuals who have been wronged in the workplace. We understand that facing issues like discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination can be a deeply distressing and destabilizing experience. That is why our entire practice is structured to provide a supportive partnership, guiding you through the complexities of the legal system with clarity and unwavering commitment. We never represent employers; our loyalty is solely to the workers of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Our mission is to level the playing field, hold employers accountable for their unlawful actions, and secure the justice and financial compensation you rightfully deserve.

Our Exclusive Focus on Employment and Labor Law

At Goodley McCarthy LLC, we live and breathe employment law. By concentrating our practice on this single, complex area, we provide our clients with a significant advantage. We have an in-depth understanding of the state and federal laws that protect you, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Our attorneys are seasoned litigators and skilled negotiators, prepared to advocate for you at every stage, from confidential settlement discussions to aggressive courtroom trials.

Comprehensive Representation for All Workplace Violations

Our experienced team is equipped to handle the full spectrum of employment-related disputes. We are fierce advocates for employees in the following areas:

• Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: We fight tirelessly against illegal discrimination based on sex, race, age, disability, religion, national origin, and pregnancy. We are committed to ensuring that hiring, promotion, and termination decisions are based on merit, not prejudice.
• Harassment Lawyers: Our firm provides aggressive representation for victims of sexual harassment and hostile work environments. We believe every employee has the right to a workplace free from intimidation, ridicule, and abuse.
• Wrongful Termination Lawyers: If you were fired in violation of the law or public policy, we will fight to vindicate your rights. This includes cases of illegal retaliation against whistleblowers or those who report unlawful conduct.
• Wage and Hour Lawyers: We are dedicated to ensuring you are paid every penny you have earned. We represent employees in claims for unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, and illegal tip pooling under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
• Severance and Contract Negotiations: We provide expert counsel in the review and negotiation of employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and severance packages to ensure the terms are fair and protect your long-term interests.
• FMLA Violations: Our firm represents employees whose rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act have been denied or interfered with by their employer.
