The attorneys and staff at the Liechter Law Firm, PC, are dedicated to getting justice for employees whose rights have been violated at work. We have the experience and resources to take on private and government employers regardless of size.
The violation of employment rights can take many forms. For example, we represent employees and independent contractors who have been denied overtime pay. The most common overtime wage violations involve:
Misclassifying employees as exempt from overtime pay
Misclassifying workers as independent contractors
Giving employees time off instead of money for overtime hours worked
Requiring employees to work through lunch or off-the-clock
Fighting employment discrimination is another area of our practice. We represent employees who have been the victims of wrongful termination, hostile work environment, or other adverse employment actions based on:
Sex Discrimination
Race Discrimination
National Origin Discrimination
Pregnancy Discrimination
Disability Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Retaliation
In addition, our lawyers can help workers in cases involving other areas such as whistleblower claims, Family Medical Leave Act claims, and breach of contract claims just to name a few. However, employment cases are often subject to time deadlines and an employee may be barred or prevented from bringing a claim if too much time has passed. Therefore, it is important that you seek the advice of a qualified employment law attorney if you believe your employment rights have been violated.
