EMPLOYMENT LAW
We Step In,
So You Are Not Pushed Out.
Employment Law Overview
Employment law encompasses a broad range of issues, from discrimination and harassment to cases involving accommodations for individuals with disabilities, retaliation, and wage and hour cases. While we primarily represent employees who have been treated unfairly, we also represent employers to further the goal of enhancing the quality of the workplace. We understand that the prospect of engaging in employment litigation can be daunting. We work tirelessly to advocate for our clients’ rights and ensure their voice is heard.
As experienced employment attorneys, our ultimate goal is to help make your workplace a more productive, healthy, and happy place to work. This is beneficial for both employees and employers.
Our attorneys are experienced with FLSA and Arizona Wage and Hour laws. If you believe you were paid less than minimum wage, denied overtime, were not paid commission, or were not paid timely, we are here to help you get what you deserve.
Your Employment Law Team
Legal matters involving employment law can be very complex, requiring competent attorneys who are well-versed in a variety of areas. We also have a nuanced understanding of employment law, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wage dispute issues. We represent both employees who have been treated unfairly and employers who are trying to enhance the quality of their workplace.
