Protecting Employee Rights with Proven Results
Our team provides aggressive, expert advocacy across a range of workplace issues, including:
Wrongful Termination
Termination that violates legal protections or policies is not just unfair, it’s unlawful. We’ll fight to ensure you’re compensated for unjust firing.
Workplace Discrimination
No one should face unequal treatment at work. We’ll challenge discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
Workplace Harassment
Unwelcome conduct, including sexual harassment and hostile work environments, shouldn’t define your weekdays. We’re committed to creating pathways to justice for victims.
Wage & Hour Disputes
Unpaid wages, denied overtime, or being misclassified as an independent contractor can severely impact your livelihood. Our attorneys will fight to secure what you’re owed.
FMLA Violations
Being denied leave for family or medical reasons violates your legal protections. We’ll ensure your rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act are honored.
Retaliation & Whistleblower Cases
Reporting unlawful conduct should never compromise your livelihood. If you’ve faced retaliation for doing the right thing, we’ll ensure your voice is protected

Understanding the Employment Law Process
If something at work doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Employment law cases often begin with small warning signs that escalate over time. Knowing what to do next can protect your rights and strengthen your case.
The Employment Law Process
- Recognize the Red Flags
You may notice unfair treatment, sudden discipline, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages, or termination after reporting an issue. Trust your instincts—if something feels wrong, it often is. - Document Everything
Keep records of emails, text messages, performance reviews, pay stubs, schedules, and any incidents or conversations related to the issue. Documentation can be critical to protecting your claim. - Avoid Confrontation Without Legal Guidance
Before confronting your employer or HR, it’s important to understand your rights. Saying the wrong thing—or too much—can unintentionally weaken your position. - Consult an Employment Law Attorney
An experienced employment attorney can evaluate your situation, explain your rights under state and federal law, and determine whether your employer’s actions are unlawful. - Strategic Action or Formal Complaint
Depending on your case, your attorney may recommend internal action, filing a claim with a government agency, or pursuing legal action directly against your employer. - Pursue Resolution or Litigation
Many cases are resolved through negotiation or settlement, while others require litigation. Throughout the process, your attorney advocates for accountability, compensation, and justice.

I could literally write a book on how excellent Todd and his team are. He was proactive, relentless in fighting for a fair result in my case, and has amazing customer service. My case was lengthy but Todd kept me in the loop each step of the way. It was amazing that he actually took the time to reach out personally and I appreciate that. I’m definitely keeping his law firm in my contact book for future assistance. Thanks Todd, Megan, and his whole team.
