Employment law
Every business, large or small, needs to confront the important and complex legal issues that arise from hiring employees. The law has many rules and obligations with which employers must comply. Failure to understand or comply with these laws can have disastrous consequences. For example, we have seen companies go out of business because of an innocent failure to maintain records of compliance with these laws. We believe that consulting an attorney now can save your company from fines and lawsuits later, saving tens of thousands of dollars. We have experience representing employers and employees in all areas of employment law.
We can assist both employers and employees in any of the following:
- Wrongful termination
- Retaliation
- Discrimination based on age, race, gender, disability, and accommodations for disability
- Wage and hour claims, overtime pay

We are experienced in handling various intellectual property matters on behalf of business owners, including trademarks and trade secret appropriation.
