We're always on your side.
Our employment law department is focused on protecting employees under state and federal laws governing discrimination, pay equality, wrongful discharge, wage and hour standards, leave rights, severance rights, breach of contract, executive placement, and termination issues. This practice includes EEOC proceedings, state and federal court litigation of individual suits and employee class actions, severance package negotiation, employment contract negotiation and interpretation, wrongful discharge consultation, reinstatement and back pay litigation, labor negotiation, and other related issues.
