Don’t Quit Your Job If You Are Experiencing Workplace Issues
–Talk To Us
It is important if you are having workplace conflicts, including sexual harassment, discrimination, wage/hour issues and the like, NOT to quit your job. Quitting makes a lawsuit much more difficult to pursue. Instead, discuss your situation with our attorneys, who can advise you of your rights, how to document an employment claim properly to improve your chances of prevailing, and provide you with support during a difficult and often traumatic time.
You run no risk by scheduling a short case evaluation with our law firm. To ease the stress associated with an employment matter, our attorneys are available after regular business hours, if needed. We strive to work with your schedule whenever possible. We continue to remain easily accessible throughout your case, including same-day responses to most calls and emails. If you cannot reach one of the attorneys, a staff member will be happy to assist you.
