We ONLY Represent Employees.

Employment Law Is All We Do

We focus exclusively on representing individuals in disputes against prospective, current, and former employers. We are 100% Employee-Rights focused. We treat each case like it’s our only case. We know how important your rights and livelihood are to you and we also put our money where our mouth is. We don’t get paid unless you do: no costs or fees unless we win.

Do you believe you were wrongfully terminated?

Has your employer failed to pay you wages for work performed?

Have you been discriminated against in the workplace?

Have you been denied or retaliated against for requesting leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act?

Have you been treated differently by a current or prospective employer because of your pregnancy?

Has your employer failed to pay you overtime compensation or misclassified you as “exempt” from overtime compensation?

Have you been retaliated against for complaining about unfair or discriminatory treatment or for reporting potentially unlawful activities in the workplace?

Were you terminated shortly after being injured on the job or inquiring about workers’ compensation benefits?

Has your employer failed to accommodate your disability or discriminated against you because of your disability?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a potential legal claim.

Clients We are Proud to Represent

Michael Murphy epitomizes the word professional!

My first experience retaining counsel to represent me in a situation where I was full of doubt, he lent me knowledge in laymen's terms and was confident in his representation of me. I have already referred him to a close friend and would refer his entire group 1,000 times over. My experience was successful and fair.
