Employment Litigation Matters We Handle

Whether you’re an employee or employer, knowing what’s legal in the workplace and what isn’t can help you advocate for your rights in the workplace. As employers, it’s critical to understand Maryland and federal employment laws to protect your business from legal action. When you need sound legal advice and fierce representation in the courtroom, our legal team is here for you. Our firm handles complex employment disputes, including:

• Wrongful Termination: There’s a saying that you “fire yourself,” but many people have their employment terminated not for cause but for more troubling reasons. Maybe you’re a victim of workplace discrimination, or maybe you reported a hostile working environment or sexual harassment and are facing retaliation. Even though Maryland is an “at-will employment state,  that doesn’t mean you cannot be a victim of wrongful termination. If you believe you were unfairly fired or a former employee is bringing a wrongful termination claim, we can help achieve a positive resolution.
• Employment Discrimination: Discrimination against someone who is a member of a protected class, per the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), is illegal. If you have been discriminated against due to your race, color, sex, age, or disability, including during the hiring process, if you’ve been passed over for a promotion you were qualified for, or if you feel you were terminated because of your membership in a protected class, we can help you take legal action, including filing a suit for damages. We also help employers defend themselves against spurious employment discrimination claims.
• Workplace Harassment: Harassment, sexual or otherwise, can quickly turn a productive workplace into a toxic one. If you’re being harassed at work and your employer hasn’t addressed the problem, or if you were retaliated against for reporting harassment, we can help you initiate appropriate legal action. We also understand that some employers see false reports of harassment and need a strong defense in court. Our attorneys can help sift through rumors and get to the truth, protecting your best interests.

We handle a wide range of employment matters, including contract, non-compete, and similar violations. As your Ellicott City employment litigation lawyer, we’re prepared to defend your interests and seek an effective, efficient resolution to the matter.
