Employment Law 

Our experienced employment law attorneys provide comprehensive legal support to help workers secure justice for workplace discrimination and wage violations. We handle discrimination claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), as well as wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state labor laws. Our team will thoroughly investigate employer practices to gather evidence, file claims with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Department of Labor, and pursue lawsuits to recover back pay, lost wages, damages, and attorney fees.
