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.

Federal law protects individuals against discrimination. However, if discrimination has occurred, representation by a capable, experienced attorney is vital.

Employers cannot terminate a person’s employment for unfair reasons, such as filing a complaint. An experienced employment attorney can help conduct an investigation to build a case against an employer for misconduct.

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.
