Many of us define ourselves by the work we do. This makes sense- we spend most of our waking hours working, ideally for an employer who values our work and the effort we put in to being reliable employees. Many employers, unfortunately, fail to appreciate their workers, and use the power they have to take advantage of their employees. They can do this in a variety of ways; they can fail to pay an employee overtime pay, even though the law requires them to; they can discriminate or terminate an employee for filing a workers compensation claim, taking time off under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), or to have surgery (the ADA, or Americans with Disabilities Act). In some cases, they may even discriminate against an employee based on race, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation. No matter how your employer has taken advantage of you, our firm has the experience and knowledge to help you even the playing field. Whether you work for a multinational corporation or a local restaurant, we can and will help you hold your employer accountable for violations of the law.
