Conveniently serving clients throughout Washington, D.C. and Maryland.

We have represented clients in state, federal, and administrative employment law cases involving the full range of employment issues, including:

• Discrimination

  • Nationality
  • Disability

• Wrongful Termination

Employment Law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. We have significant experience in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits, whistleblower litigation, wrongful discharge, employment contracts, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Federal Employer's Liability Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and special laws governing municipal employment.

While the target of discrimination knows when it is occurring, it takes a skilled litigator to find the objective proof that it has occurred. Employees can be treated unfairly based on a number of characteristics. Employers can discriminate on age, disability, race, sexual orientation, national origin, pregnancy and gender. Creating a "glass ceiling" to stall out promotions at a middle level is also a form of discrimination. With over 19 years of experience, you can rest assured knowing that we will work hard to obtain the best results for you.
