Our Core Employment and Labor Law Practice Areas

Our firm concentrates its entire practice on employment law, allowing us to provide an exceptional level of expertise across a wide spectrum of workplace issues. We are dedicated to helping employees fight back against injustice and discrimination. Our key practice areas include:

• Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: We have a proven track record of fighting for employees who have been treated unfairly due to their identity. We handle all forms of discrimination claims, including those based on age, race, gender, national origin, religion, disability (under the ADA), and pregnancy.
• Harassment Lawyers: No one should have to endure a hostile work environment. We are fierce advocates for victims of sexual harassment and other forms of unlawful workplace harassment, fighting to stop the abuse and secure justice for our clients.
• Wrongful Termination Lawyers: If you believe you were fired for an illegal reason—such as retaliation for reporting misconduct, discrimination, or for taking protected leave—we can help. We fight to hold employers accountable for wrongful discharge and seek to recover lost wages and other damages.
• Wage and Hour Lawyers: We represent employees who have been denied their rightful earnings. This includes cases involving unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, improper deductions, and employee misclassification under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): We protect the rights of employees who need to take job-protected leave for family or medical reasons. We represent clients who have been illegally denied FMLA leave or retaliated against for exercising their FMLA rights.
• Employment Contracts and Severance Agreements: We provide skilled review and negotiation of employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and severance packages to ensure your rights and financial interests are protected.
