FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS IN THE WORKPLACE

After many unfortunate situations of abuse that have taken place over the years, our government has passed laws to protect the rights of workers from harassment and discrimination. While these laws and regulations have made improvements, the workplace is still not perfect, and unacceptable behavior still takes place.

At Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster & Gwartney we believe that everyone has the right to feel safe and respected in the workplace. Because of this, it is always our goal to seek justice for those whose rights have been violated. Whether you are an employer who has been wrongfully accused of improper conduct, or an employee who has been the subject of wrongful conduct by an employer, our employment law attorneys believe you have too much at stake not to protect your legal rights.

COMMON EMPLOYMENT CLAIMS

Most of us will spend a large portion of our lives working, and whether you are an employer or an employee, you deserve to feel valued and have your rights respected.

Over the years our team of employment law attorneys have represented employees who have been discriminated against or wrongfully terminated, as well as employers who have been accused of discriminating against current or former employees in both State and Federal Court.
