Advocating for Employee Rights
My background as a defense attorney for major U.S. companies accused of employment law violations has given me a valuable insight into each side of employee complaints. Using this knowledge, I am able to offer guidance to clients who have been the victims of numerous infractions, including:
- Family Medical Leave and disability discrimination: The FMLA provides certain employees with up to 12 weeks of paid leave to be used to care for their own serious illness, or for the care of an immediate family member who suffers from a serious illness or injury. People living with disabilities are usually protected against discrimination in the workplace if they can perform the essential functions of their position, with or without a reasonable accommodation. If you are terminated for taking FMLA leave or your employer fails to provide a reasonable accommodation or discriminates against you becasue of a disability, I can protect your rights and get you the damages you deserve.
- Whistleblower retaliation: Individuals who speak out against, refuse to participate in, or report their employers for illegal activities are often afforded protection from retaliation. If you are concerned about illegal activity in your workplace, I can help you determine whether you are legally protected from relatiation and decide what action to take. If you have already suffered retaliation for blowing the whistle, I can help you collect the damages you deserve.
- Wage and hour or nonpayment of wages: Using proven strategies, I can assist you in recovering money owed for hours worked, or unpaid overtime pay.
- Sexual harassment: I leverage my experience on each side of sexual harassment cases when you have been placed in sexually compromising situations in the work place. Seeking damages for hostle work environment, unlawful termination or illegal promotion practices, I work diligently to help get you results.
