Experienced Employment Law Attorneys
Serving Clients in Florida & Texas
Employment law is a practice area devoted to the relationship between employees and employers. That relationship is governed by both state and federal laws and regulations designed to create a fair workplace and ensure a safe environment for all employees. Employees deserve such an environment if they are to be productive and fully engaged in their work. However, not all employers adhere to the law. Where violations occur, employees can suffer everything from physical injuries to adverse actions and personal attacks that make employment distressing, discriminatory, and even hostile.

Employment Law Cases We Handle
Our firm handles matters pertaining to state and federal employment law.
These matters include but are not limited to the following issues:
- Disability and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA gives eligible employees the right to up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to handle a serious illness contracted by the employee, a spouse, child, or parent or for bringing a new child into your family.
- Discrimination. Discrimination against an employee based on protected characteristics such as race, color, sex, and religion is prohibited by law.
- ADA. The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination in the workplace against workers or job applicants with disabilities.
- Harassment. Unwelcome conduct based on discrimination as well as persistent workplace sexual harassment is unlawful.
- EEOC. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established to administer and enforce federal law prohibiting workplace discrimination of all kinds. We can help you file EEOC charges and prosecute your claims.
- Whistleblower. Employees who disclose unlawful practices or unethical behavior by their employers are protected under both state and federal laws.
- Wrongful termination. Employers cannot discharge you based on discriminatory grounds or by breaking the terms of an employment contract.
- OSHA and safety. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was established to regulate and enforce safe working conditions for all employees. Where violated, employers may be held accountable.
- Wage and hours claims. These claims can be based on unpaid wages, overtime and minimum wage disputes, misclassification of employees, and violations of equal pay for equal work regardless of your sex.
