Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination — A hostile work environment should never be tolerated, nor should you should be kept from advancement or treated unfairly because of your gender. We can prove what happened to you and make sure corrective action is taken.
Medical or Disability Leave Claims — Employers do not always welcome employees taking family, medical or disability leave, but your employer does not have the right to deny you the leave that is guaranteed by law — or to retaliate against you for taking it.
Retaliatory Discharge — Were you fired in retaliation for exposing company wrongdoing or trying exercise your legal rights — such as filing a workers' comp or disability claim or challenging discrimination? That is illegal. Contact us to discuss your rights.
Wrongful Termination l — Most employment relationships are "at will," which means that your employer can fire you without cause, or even for no reason. However, your employer cannot fire you because of discrimination, because you tried to exercise your legal rights, or for another illegal reason. We can help you seek damages for wrongful discharge.
