How We Build Strong Employment Law Cases That Win
We don’t just file complaints. We build airtight cases designed to win. From day one, we take control of the legal process. Here’s how we do it:
- Gather admissible evidence and detailed documentation from emails, texts, policies, and witnesses.
- Take over all communication with your employer and their legal team.
- Prove violations using time-stamped records, wage data, and testimony.
- Apply legal pressure through formal complaints and agency filings.
- Escalate aggressively when employers delay, deny, or retaliate.
- Prepare every case for trial; even if we settle, we prepare like we won’t.
This approach gives us practical leverage and gives your employer a reason to settle or face us in court.
Maximize Compensation in Wrongful Termination, Harassment & Wage Claims
When your employer breaks the employment law or violates your employee rights, they owe you more than an apology. Our job is to make sure they pay fair and enough. We maximize every dollar you’re legally entitled to, with no shortcuts and no delays.
Types of compensation in employment claims we fight for:
- Back pay for lost wages after wrongful termination or forced resignation
- Front pay if returning to your job isn’t possible
- Unpaid wages, including overtime, commissions, and bonuses
- Missed meal and rest break pay with penalty premiums
- Emotional distress damages for harassment, retaliation, or hostile work environments
- Punitive damages when employer misconduct is intentional or extreme
- Attorneys’ fees and legal costs so you don’t pay out of pocket
