We understand that employees are often the underdog in disputes against large corporations or institutions, and we're here to level the playing field.
We're committed to educating both employers and employees on these subtleties. Workplace investigations Our commitment to unions extends beyond the courtroom. Our approach is thorough: we meticulously review employment agreements, assess the scope of the breach, and formulate a strategy that aligns with our clients' objectives. We've seen countless cases where employees have been let go for reasons that violate state or federal laws.
This may involve filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or taking legal action. We examine the nuances of each case, because discrimination isn't just about how you're treated—it's also about the opportunities you're given, or denied. We know they might face intimidation, demotion, or even dismissal for their actions.
We've seen cases where employers have failed to properly inform employees of their FMLA rights or have unjustly denied leave. If we find evidence of wrongful termination, we'll stand by you every step of the way.
