Employment Litigation

Employment Litigation entails a wide variety of disputes that occur between employees and employers including wrongful termination, termination of employee benefits including health or pension related benefits, denial of health and pension benefits, nonpayment of wages, breach of employment contracts and termination of an employee under whistle blower circumstances. Whistleblower laws, both federal and state, protect an individual’s right to bring a claim against an entity that has engaged in illegal conduct and defrauds our government.

Additionally, there is a wide spectrum of litigation services primarily focused on employees who have been discriminated against based upon their race, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, sexual harassment, and handicap. There are many federal and state laws that protect individuals against discrimination, and provide a legal method by which to obtain money damages when an employee has been discriminated against. The legal remedies may include obtaining your job back, money damages for lost wages and emotional distress, and legal fees and costs that you have incurred as a result of the wrongful conduct and emotional pain.
