Advocates for Workplace Fairness

Courage: It takes courage for employees to stand up for their rights. We honor their courage by fighting hard to achieve justice for them.
”
Corporations are not people and do not have principles. The purpose of a corporation is to maximize profits, which often conflicts with the interests of its workers. The best way to enforce workers' rights is for lawyers like us to make it expensive for corporations to violate them.
”
We fight for opportunity, fair pay, and a workplace free from discrimination.
”
We use every legal and ethical means to fight for, protect, and advance our clients' civil rights.
”
Judgment: Our approach is to do what's best for the client. We have the sense to negotiate when possible and the confidence to take cases to trial when necessary.
”
We endeavor to ensure that everyone is treated with respect in the workplace, regardless of station in life.
”
Advocacy: Employees deserve a strong advocate — an advocate who will fight tenaciously for their interests while also providing objective and honest advice.
”
We honor the trust that clients put in us by working to earn it every day.
