Has your business been accused of not paying overtime? Has a manager been charged with harassment or discrimination? In our experience, such claims usually have no foundation in truth, but the accusation can seriously affect morale and productivity at all levels of the business.

Experience and Service

When faced by charges of employment law violations, talk to an employment law attorney who understands the dynamics of the business environment and who will represent you effectively. At the Fleming & Palermo law firm, we defend businesses against such accusations.

  • Discrimination: Employment discrimination is a serious offense, but most companies take steps to prevent discrimination because of race, gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, or disability. If your company has been accused of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), talk to a lawyer with experience defending businesses like yours.
  • Sexual Harassment: Has an employee accused you or your company of sexual harassment? You need to consult with an experienced employment law attorney as soon as possible. Even untrue accusations can have a lasting effect on your company.
  • Unemployment Claims: Has a former employee wrongly applied for unemployment? You need to protect your company against false claims. Talk to an employment litigation lawyer.
  • FMLA Disputes: What are an employer's rights and obligations under the Family and Medical Leave Act? Has an employee accused your business of not following the regulations?
  • Overtime Disputes: An employee's confusion about overtime pay could cause your business to face an investigation. Talk to a business litigation lawyer about your situation.

When the legal matter you are facing is important, make sure you have an experienced employment litigation lawyer who has the time to discuss your situation with you, explain your options, and represent you. Contact the employment litigation attorneys at the Fleming & Palermo law firm.
