Types of Employment Cases We Handle

When you are looking for a Pembroke Pines employment lawyer, it is crucial to select an attorney who has proven experience resolving cases similar to yours. The Law Office of Michelle Cohen Levy, P.A., can provide comprehensive legal counsel in a wide range of employment cases, including:

• Workplace discrimination. It is unlawful for any employer to discriminate on the basis of an employee’s protected characteristics, such as race, age, sex, religion, medical status, or disability. If you believe you are the victim of any type of workplace discrimination, we can help you determine the most effective legal remedies available to you.
• Sexual harassment. Every employee has the right to a workplace free from sexual harassment. If you have been subjected to unwanted sexual advances from a supervisor or coworker, or if you have been presented with quid pro quo sexual harassment of any kind, our team can determine the legal options available to you in this situation when internal conflict resolution has failed to produce acceptable results.
• Wrongful termination. While employers have broad flexibility to fire employees as they see fit, they cannot fire employees for illegal, discriminatory reasons, nor can they fire employees in retaliation for taking certain protected actions. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated from your job, it is important to consult a Pembroke Pines employment lawyer right away to discuss your legal options in this situation.
• Wage and hour claims. Every employee has the right to be paid on time and in full for the work they have done. Florida enforces several laws pertaining to employee compensation, including overtime statutes when employees work beyond the hours of a typical workweek. If you believe your employer has not paid you correctly or has violated Florida wage and hour laws, your attorney can help you recover lost pay.

These are only a few examples of the types of employment cases our firm accepts in the Pembroke Pines area. If you are unsure whether you have grounds for a case, reach out to The Law Office of Michelle Cohen Levy, P.A., today to learn how our team can assist you.
