Frequently Asked Questions for Employment Attorneys

Understanding workplace rights and employer responsibilities can be complicated. We’re here to help you know what to do when your rights are violated.

How can an employment attorney help if I’ve been wrongfully terminated?

Our employment attorneys are your best ally if you’ve been unfairly fired. We’ll review your case to see if any laws or contracts were broken, looking at your employment agreement, company policies, and more. We’ll help you gather evidence like performance reviews and witness statements, and make sure you’ve filed complaints with the Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), if needed. We’ll do our best to negotiate with your former employer, but if necessary, we’ll take your case to court.

What should I do if my employer refuses to pay overtime wages?

First, document everything. Keep records of your hours and any communications about pay. Then, talk to us. The team at Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys will review your situation and explain your rights, making sure you understand your legal options. If your employer’s breaking the law, we’ll fight to get you every penny you’re owed. We know the tactics these companies use to avoid paying overtime, and we won’t let them pocket your hard-earned money.

When should I contact an attorney for employment discrimination?

The moment you suspect discrimination, reach out. It doesn’t matter if the discrimination is in hiring, promotions, pay, or day-to-day treatment; our attorneys can help. And remember, discrimination can be subtle but damaging. We can help you recognize the signs and gather evidence before it’s too late. The sooner you call us, the stronger your case will be.

Can I take legal action for workplace harassment that happened months ago?

It depends on the details of your claim, but yes. Each state has specific deadlines (also known as the statute of limitations) for filing harassment claims, so the sooner you call us, the better. But even if it’s been months, start by documenting everything you remember. Our attorneys will take that as evidence when building your case. We’ll make sure you’re within the timeframe for filing and that all documents are filed appropriately and on time, so that you don’t miss out on the settlement you’re entitled to.

What are common signs of unlawful retaliation at work?

Unlawful retaliation often follows after you’ve reported an issue or exercised your rights. Look for sudden negative changes like demotions, pay cuts, unfavorable shift changes, or exclusion from important meetings. Also, watch for increased scrutiny of your work or unexplained disciplinary actions. Retaliation can be subtle, so trust your instincts if something feels off, and contact Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys right away.

How do employee rights attorneys determine if a case is worth pursuing?

Great question. Our attorneys start by looking at different factors of the claim, including the strength of evidence, applicable laws, potential damages, and likelihood of success. We also consider how the situation impacts your life and career. We always want to make sure there’s a reasonable chance of a positive outcome for you as our client.

How long does a typical employment law case take to resolve?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some cases settle quickly in a few months, while others might take longer if they go to trial. Our attorneys work to resolve your case as quickly as possible without sacrificing the outcome you deserve. No matter what, we’ll keep you informed and fight to get you justice without unnecessary delays.
