Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Protection

As accomplished wrongful termination lawyers, Ellwanger Henderson defends whistleblowers who face retaliatory firings, wrongful discharge, and demotions. The practice also represents employees as wage and hour lawyers, recovering unpaid overtime, resolving minimum wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and contesting executive severance agreements.
