Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with workers facing disciplinary write-ups, PIPs, suspensions, and termination threats—guiding you through investigations, hearings, and appeals while protecting your livelihood and reputation. We hold big corporations and big government to the law, taking on discrimination and harassment (Title VII & Public Employee Relations Act), retaliation for speaking up or taking leave (whistleblower protections), wage theft and misclassification (FLSA), and interference with concerted activity (NLRA).
Police & Firefighters
We represent police officers and firefighters in front of Civil Service Commissions—protecting careers, badges, and benefits when discipline is on the line. From IA investigations and Loudermill hearings to commission trials and post-decision appeals, we enforce your due-process and just-cause rights, challenge flawed procedures, and hold cities and departments to their own civil service rules. We marshal contract language, past practice, and evidentiary records to beat back unfair suspensions, demotions, and terminations, and pursue reinstatement, back pay, or clean records. If you’re facing charges, a PIP, or a pre-disciplinary notice, call us before deadlines hit.
Private Sector Professionals
As a private-sector professional, you've earned your right to be protected in the workplace. We demand the evidence, challenge flawed procedures, and press for fair outcomes—reinstatement, clean records, back pay, or compensation. From early strategy and documentation to negotiation and, when necessary, litigation, we turn power imbalances on their head and make employers and agencies follow the rules they impose on everyone else. If you’re under investigation, on a PIP, or were pushed out for asserting your rights, call us—before deadlines pass and evidence disappears.
Your wages. Your benefits.
We aggressively pursue Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims for employees who’ve been shorted on pay—overtime, minimum wage, and everything in between. Whether you’ve been misclassified as “exempt,” forced to work off the clock, denied pay for donning and doffing, had tips skimmed, or your “regular rate” was miscalculated (no inclusion of shift differentials, bonuses, or stipends), we build a documentary record, audit time and payroll data, and press for unpaid wages, liquidated damages, and attorneys’ fees. For public-safety and public-sector clients, we navigate 7(k) work periods, comp time abuses, and gap-time violations. If your paycheck doesn’t reflect your real hours, we’ll make your employer follow federal law—and pay what’s owed.
