Testimonials

Thank you very much for so ably assisting my clients at the hearing. Both of them have been essentially "lawyered to death". Both of them are very fed up with the legal system, including judges and lawyers.

After the hearing they called my office and had nothing but wonderful things to say about you. She was impressed with your professionalism, knowledge of the subject matter and knowledge of her case and your "take charge" attitude.

The purpose of this correspondence was to just thank you for taking the time to let the clients know where you thought they were at. It is always a pleasure to meet a new lawyer who is thorough, prepared, and ethical. Thank you very much for your help.

Attorney Clay Olmstead

Civil Litigation

Employment Discrimination And Other Employment Related Issues

We represent both employees and employers in work related matters. Employment law is a growing area and many federal, state and local laws and rules affect the employment relationship. We represent both individuals and businesses in litigation. In addition, we advise employers on good business practices to prevent employee dissatisfaction and expense of litigation. We have handled a variety of employment and labor law matters including the following:

  • Drafting, negotiation and review of employment contracts
  • Preparation of employee handbooks and personnel policies
  • Handling of difficult employees, termination
  • Discrimination cases, including but not limited to sex, race, and age discrimination claims
  • Sexual harassment
  • Wrongful termination and discharge
  • Wage and hour claims
  • Contract disputes

Employment litigation can be especially hard on small businesses because of the disruption and cost. We run a small law office, and are sensitive to small business concerns. We work hard to assist small business owners through the litigation process and to counsel the small business owner on good practices.

Our office has experience in trial and appellate courts and in alternative dispute resolution settings. Many employment law cases involve administrative agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and its local counterpart. We understand administrative law and have appeared in administrative tribunals on behalf of both employees and employers
