What We Fight For:
Wrongful Termination
Losing your job can be devastating, especially when it happens without proper cause. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, we’ll investigate the circumstances and fight to get you the compensation or reinstatement you deserve. No one should lose their livelihood unjustly, and we're here to ensure that your termination is challenged with the full force of the law.
Whistleblower Protection
If you've spoken up about illegal or unethical practices at work, you deserve protection, not punishment. We help whistleblowers navigate the legal process and shield them from retaliation, ensuring that your bravery in reporting wrongdoing is met with the protection you deserve.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment can take many forms—from inappropriate comments to unwanted advances. We understand how difficult it can be to come forward, and we’re here to provide a safe space where your concerns are taken seriously. We’ll work tirelessly to hold perpetrators accountable and secure the justice you need to move forward.
Hostile Work Environment
A toxic workplace can have a profound impact on your mental health and overall well-being. If you’re facing constant hostility, bullying, or harassment at work, we’re here to help you take action. No one should have to endure a work environment that is harmful or degrading.
Wage and Hour Violations
Fair pay for fair work is a fundamental right. If you’ve been denied proper wages, overtime pay, or breaks, you’re entitled to compensation. We’ll help you reclaim what you’re owed, whether it’s through negotiation or litigation.
Misclassification Matters
Being misclassified as an independent contractor instead of an employee can deprive you of crucial benefits and protections. We specialize in correcting misclassification issues, ensuring you receive the rightful benefits, including overtime pay, health insurance, and other employee entitlements.
Overtime Violations
Have you worked extra hours without receiving overtime pay? It’s a violation of labor laws, and we’re here to help you recover those lost wages.
Meal Break Violations
Employers are required to provide proper meal breaks. If your employer has denied you these breaks or forced you to work through them, we can hold them accountable.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in any form is not just wrong—it’s illegal. We specialize in combating all types of workplace discrimination.
