Employment Law

Facing unfair treatment from your employer is difficult.  Is it illegal? Have you been subject to a hostile work environment? Denied accommodations? Discriminated against based on age, sex, gender identity, race, religion or veteran status?  Do you have a legal remedy? Alleviate the stress of the unknown by learning the applicable law and what strategies are available to you. Some issues to consider:

1. Do you have a non-compete? Is it enforceable?

3. Severance. Do you need a severance agreement or need one reviewed?
