FAQs

First, document each incident, including dates, times, locations, and individuals involved. Save any relevant communications, such as emails or messages.

Our employment law firm represents employees in discrimination cases, guiding you through the process and helping secure your rights under state and federal employment law.

Start by filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if your termination was based on discrimination, retaliation, or other unlawful reasons. Keep all relevant documents related to your employment and termination, including any written communication from your employer.

Review your pay stubs regularly to confirm you’re receiving accurate wages and overtime, checking for correct hours and rates.

If your employer presents a severance agreement, it’s important to understand your rights before signing. A severance agreement may limit your future claims against the company, so having it reviewed by an experienced employment lawyer is necessary.
