Among employment law firms, we respect the federal laws designed to protect workers. However, we see that they are sometimes unfairly administered. If that has happened to you, we are prepared to take your case to federal court; to appropriate hearing boards; or through other administrative and appeal processes. We respect these laws as they are supposed to be followed. When they are not, we are your advocate in finding a resolution, or compensation.


Our employment law attorney has deep experience in handling cases involving the federal laws that govern employers, and how they treat workers and prospective employees. Employment law firms can represent a worker involved in:

• Claims of discrimination on the job (Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act – ADA, Age Discrimination Employment Act – ADEA, Rehabilitation Act of 1973)
• Equal pay disputes (EPA – Equal Pay Act)
• EEO / EEOC job hiring discrimination complaints
• Family leave differences (Family and Medical Leave Act – FMLA)
• Pension disputes (ERISA)
• Retaliation for whistle blowing, making a complaint or pursuing a legal right to make a claim
• Defense Department employment law disputes(DOHA – Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals)
• Federal employee terminations and job actions(Merit Systems Protection Board, MSPB)

Time is important. Employment law firms can only help if you meet the time limit on making a claim. You have a very narrow window of time in which to file a claim of being discriminated against, that you have experienced an unfavorable job action, or were wrongly fired. Don’t delay. Your first conversation with our attorney is at no charge. Together we can determine if you have options that we can move on.

It is not unusual for people to contact employment law firms after they have already made a claim, at least in a meeting with a supervisor, if not further along. We may be able to help at any point, but we believe it is always best to have the advice of an attorney before initial conversations, through the filing of your claim, and on to the hearings. We are also prepared to handle your appeals. Employment law firms understand that not all of these types of employment claims are successful in the initial hearings. We can stay with you to press for a satisfactory resolution.

What are your protections under federal employment law?

• You have a right to be free from discrimination on the basis of your gender, race or color, or national origin.
• You are protected from job bias based on your religion, marital status, sexual orientation
• You cannot be discriminated against because you are pregnant. If you feel you have been, employment law firms can advise you.
• It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of your age. By law, people older than 40 are specifically protected.
• You cannot be discriminated against because you have a disability, either physical or mental.
• You are entitled to unpaid leave when pregnant, a member of your family is sick, or you have to recover from illness.
