What to Know Before Hiring an Employee Rights Attorney

Find answers to common questions about workplace rights claims, how attorneys can help, and what to expect when working with an experienced law firm.

What Should I Do if I Was Fired for Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions?

Call us right away. We’ve fought for countless folks in similar situations and know how to stand up to employers who try to silence their employees. We’ll review the details of your case and explain your legal options. We take wrongful termination seriously and will get you the justice you deserve.

What Legal Protections Exist for Whistleblowers and Employees Who Report Violations?

Great question! There are laws (state and federal) in place to protect whistleblowers and employees who report workplace wrongdoings. These laws keep employers from punishing workers who speak up about things like safety hazards and discrimination, or fraud. Our attorneys know these laws and make sure your rights are defended if your employer tries to punish you for doing the right thing.

Can I File a Workplace Rights Claim if I Was Denied Medical Leave Under FMLA?

The short answer is yes, you probably have a claim. Complying with FMLA regulations (and treating you fairly) isn’t optional, and we’ll make sure they’re held accountable for both. Our team will fight to get you both the time off and the money for any lost wages or benefits.

Are Attorneys for Employee Rights Able to Negotiate Reinstatement as Part of a Settlement?

Yes. We know how important it is for our clients to get their jobs back, and we’ll use our negotiation skills to push for that outcome. Even if reinstatement isn’t possible, we’ll fight for maximum compensation to make up for your lost employment.

What Types of Damages Can I Recover in a Wrongful Termination Case?

It depends on the details of your claim, but you may get damages for lost wages, benefits, and even emotional distress. Our team will figure out the impact that wrongful termination has had on every aspect of your life and will fight to get you a settlement that reflects that.

Do I Have a Case if I Was Misclassified as an Independent Contractor?

Yes, you probably have a strong case. Employers will sometimes misclassify workers to avoid paying taxes and providing benefits, which is illegal. Our attorneys will fight to get you the employee rights and protections you’re owed, including unpaid overtime, healthcare coverage, and more.

Can I Pursue Legal Action if My Employer Retaliated After I Requested Accommodations?

Absolutely! The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is in place to keep employers from retaliating against workers with disabilities. If your employer has taken negative action against you (including termination or demotion) after you asked for accommodations, we can help you file a claim. Your attorney will be able to tell you all of your legal options during your free case review.

How Quickly Should I Act After Experiencing Wage Theft or Unpaid Overtime?

Most states have a timeline (known as a statute of limitations) to file a legal complaint. This usually ranges from 12 to 24 months, so the sooner you call, the sooner we can help. We’ll move fast to document the evidence and fight to recover every penny you’re owed, plus any additional penalties or damages.

What’s the Difference Between a General Employment Lawyer and an Employee Rights Attorney?

A general employment lawyer handles a range of workplace legal issues, but an employee rights attorney like Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys focuses on protecting the rights of workers. We fight against discrimination, retaliation, and other labor law violations. With a track record of standing up to big corporations and winning, we’re the legal team you want on your side.
