Where to start
Before you sign anything on the way out
The first week after a firing or a blow-up with a boss decides a lot. A few things are worth doing before you call anyone, us included.
Hold off on signing a severance agreement until a lawyer has read it
Write down dates, names and what was said, while you still remember
Forward schedules, texts and pay stubs to your own phone or email
Apply for unemployment; it rarely gets in the way of a claim
Cases we take
Four kinds of trouble at work
If your problem isn't on this list, call anyway. If it isn't ours, we'll say who handles it.
Wrongful termination
Let go for a reason the law forbids, or right after you complained, got hurt or asked for leave.
How these cases workDiscrimination and harassment
Passed over, paid less or harassed because of your age, race, sex, pregnancy, disability or faith.
How these cases workUnpaid wages and overtime
Hours off the clock, overtime at straight time, tips held back, or a final check that never came.
How these cases workRetaliation and whistleblowing
Cut hours, a bad review or a pink slip after you reported a hazard, a wage problem or fraud.

Clients
Former clients, in their words
“They fired me a week after I asked for medical leave. Gina told me what my case was worth and what it wasn't.”
Rochelle M.Wrongful termination
“I could only meet on a Saturday. Tamika met me then, and she returned every call after that too.”
Luis A.Harassment
Each client's case is different. These comments don't mean yours will turn out the same way.
Start with what your boss did
A lawyer reads every request and calls you back. The first conversation is free, and you decide what happens next.
