Overtime Pay - Employment Discrimination - Retaliation - Sex Harassment

Employees have the right to be paid overtime and be protected from employment discrimination, retaliation and sexual harassment. Our law firm focuses on these cases and we have been doing them for over 10 years. It is pretty much all we do.

Overtime Pay Cases: In these cases, we help people recover unpaid overtime pay. Companies often do not pay employees overtime pay and we know how to help employees recover their lost overtime pay, interest and penalties.

Employment Discrimination Cases: These cases involve firings, demotions or other adverse action that is based on discrimination such as age discrimination, disability discrimination, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination or race discrimination.

Retaliation Cases: These cases concern firings or some form of punishment against an employee who engages in protected activity. Protected activity means complaining about certain workplace violations or helping another employee complain.

Sex Harassment Cases: Sexual harassment occurs whenever someone is fired,demoted or exposed to harassment or abuse that is based on sexual conduct.

We have been handling employment law matters for ten years. Our expertise covers discrimination, harassment, retaliation, hiring, termination, leaves of absence, executive and incentive compensation, overtime, trade secrets, non-competition agreements and all other dispute arising out of the employment relationship.

We provide excellent service at cost-effective rates and offer alternate fee and contingent fee billing.
