How We Can Help

Filing
Complaint

It is important that these complaints be carefully drafted before they are filed, since the failure to do so can result in losing and/or limiting a client's legal rights, and monetary remedies down the road.

Inquiry
Response

This is a key point in the proceeding. Failure to provide effective responses may result in a finding of “no probable cause to believe discrimination has occurred” and you complaint may be dismissed.

Settlement, Mediation, Conciliation

Our attorneys can assist you in moving through these processes with your eyes open so you do not get taken advantage of, and obtain your best result.

Administrative Hearings

In the event your case cannot be settled, we stand ready to pursue any and all avenues of litigation and appeal to ensure that your voice is heard and that you get your “day in court”.

Leaves of Absence?

Sometimes an employee may need to take an extended leave from work, which could mean being out for a few days to being out for a few months. In certain circumstances, state and federal laws grant employees the right to not only take this time off, but return to work in the same position or within a similar capacity. Denying an employee the right to take a leave of absence that the employee is legally permitted to take is a violation of the employee’s rights. Not all leaves of absence are protected by law. Speak with an experienced employment lawyer to determine whether your proposed leave is protected by law.
