What Employment Law Services Do We Handle?

We handle a broad range of workplace disputes, including:

  • Wrongful termination claims.
  • Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, age, disability, religion, or national origin.
  • Sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims.
  • Retaliation for reporting misconduct or exercising protected rights.
  • Unpaid overtime and wage and hour disputes.
  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations.
  • Workers' compensation retaliatory discharge.
  • Employment contract, non-compete agreement, and severance package review (this service may require a fee).
  • Whistleblower claims and jury duty retaliation.

Alabama is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can often let workers go without cause. However, federal and state laws still protect employees from discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful actions. Knowing when your rights have been violated can be difficult, which is why speaking with employment law attorneys early may be your most important step.
