Protecting your rights as an employee.

Every employee has the right to work in an environment free of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. When those basic civil rights are violated, we are prepared to apply our experience and insight to restore the employee to their previous position or get them compensation for violations of any available federal, state and local civil rights and employment laws. We also represent employees who need to negotiate or challenge a non-compete agreement or other employment contract.

Our dedication to each of our clients includes developing a trusting and compassionate relationship and regular communication about their case. It also includes an extensive investigation into their claims, vigorous advocacy during the litigation process, and the skilled presentation of their case at trial, as well as experienced advice as to when to appeal a case.  We have won important victories for employees at trial and before the State and federal appellate courts.    

While not all terminations or harassment provide a basis for a lawsuit, we are prepared to make an initial evaluation of an employee’s potential claim without charge.  Please call our office and ask to speak to one of our trained staff members who will conduct an initial interview.
