We understand that problems with an employer can be very sensitive for both parties. When we advise employees about their legal options, we know that quitting your job and filing a lawsuit isn't likely to be your first choice or even a practical alternative. We can help you find ways to keep a bad situation from getting worse while we develop and execute strategies that can protect your rights in the workplace.
Our approach to employment law issues is practical, positive and focused on resolving problems. We've found that we can often predict an employer's next move once we put into motion a sound plan for asserting your legal rights as an employee. While it's sometimes necessary to take the claim to court in order to recover the full range of relief you're entitled to, most of our clients are more interested in prompt and complete remedies that won't require finding a new job.
The employment law practice at Michalski Militello covers just about any legal problem that can arise at work, whether it involves recruitment, hiring, compensation, discipline, retaliation, working conditions or termination:
- Discrimination on the basis of age, race, sex or sexual orientation
- Discrimination due to pregnancy, disability, family circumstances or a criminal record
- Sexual harassment
- Breach of contract in professional or executive employment
- Family leave, vacation or sick leave policies
- Negotiation or enforcement of employment agreement terms related to trade secrets, nondisclosure, on noncompete commitments
- Negotiation or enforcement of severance agreements
- Employer retaliation for asserting protected employee rights: workers' compensation claims, medical leave, cooperating with a state or federal investigation
- Whistleblower claims related to reports of illegal or unethical activity in the company
We usually charge a nominal and affordable front-end fee in employment law cases. Because state or federal law often provides for the award of attorney fees in successful employee claims, you can often recover any fees that you've already paid to our law firm. We also take our client's legal fees into account when negotiating settlements or severance packages with employers.
