Most people are simply grateful to have a decent job. When troubles occur at work, they are reluctant to do anything about it because they don't want to jeopardize their jobs and they feel the employer has the upper hand.
Fortunately, both state and federal law protects employees more than ever before! By law, your employer or any future employer cannot retaliate against you for complaining about illegal behavior in the workplace.
If you are an employee who has experienced discrimination, harassment or any other violation of employment laws, attorneys from our firm will fight for you. Applying for a claim evaluation is quick, discreet, and there is absolutely no cost.
We do not represent employers; our focus is on helping mistreated employees take a stand and assert their rights.
