LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD WITH AN EXPERIENCED LAWYER
By law, employers are required to adhere to state and federal guidelines with regard to how they treat their employees in hiring, compensation and termination, among other areas. Employees have limited rights in certain job-related circumstances, but they are very important rights that need to be protected.

- Harassment/discrimination cases related to age, sex, race, national origin, military status
- Wrongful termination
- Cases involving pregnancy and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
