Employment Lawyers for Wrongful Termination and Retaliation in Silver Spring, Maryland

Employment law addresses a variety of concerns that may affect employees and employers. It addresses the rights of employees to be properly compensated for their work and be protected against harassment, safety concerns, or other issues that may affect their health and well-being. There are some situations where employees may need to assert their rights or address illegal actions by employers. For employees in Silver Spring, Maryland, Freedman Law, LLC can help address a wide range of employment law matters, and we can also work with employers to maintain legal compliance and resolve legal disputes with employees.

How Freedman Law, LLC Can Assist Federal Employees

Different laws and regulations may apply to employees of the federal government, and employment law cases are often handled differently than they would be in the private sector. Freedman Law, LLC has extensive experience representing federal government employees, and our attorneys are well-versed in the legal concerns that may arise in these cases. We provide compassionate representation that is focused on achieving results for federal employees and ensuring that their rights are upheld.

Whistleblower Retaliation

Whistleblower protections are crucial for federal employees, since they are encouraged to report wrongdoing and should not be concerned about potential retaliation. Unfortunately, despite the protections provided by federal law, whistleblower retaliation may still occur within federal agencies. For federal government employees who have faced demotion, harassment, or termination after reporting unethical behavior or legal violations, Freedman Law, LLC can provide representation to help address these illegal actions and recover compensation for the harm an employee has suffered.

Union and Labor Law Issues

Federal employees often belong to unions that negotiate collective bargaining agreements and advocate for workers' rights. Union employees may become involved in disputes with management regarding issues such as contract interpretation, unfair labor practices, and disciplinary actions. Our lawyers understand the specific nuances of federal labor law, and we can work to resolve these disputes effectively. For union members facing disciplinary action or federal employees who need to understand their rights under a collective bargaining agreement, Freedman Law, LLC can provide effective legal guidance and representation.

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Concerns

Federal employees, like other employees, have the right to work in an environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and unfair treatment. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws prohibiting workplace discrimination. Federal government workers who have experienced discrimination can file EEO complaints, which are typically handled internally by federal agencies before they may be escalated to EEOC hearings. Our attorneys can provide representation in complaints and hearings, advocating for the rights of our clients.

Other Employment Law Issues Freedman Law, LLC Can Assist With

In addition to representing federal employees, Freedman Law, LLC also offers legal services to help employees and employers address a wide range of employment law issues. We can provide representation in cases involving:

• Discrimination: Unfair treatment of employees based on protected factors such as race, age, gender, or sexual orientation should be addressed quickly and effectively. Freedman Law, LLC can help employees who have faced unlawful discrimination understand their rights and pursue legal remedies.
• Sexual Harassment: Freedman Law, LLC provides legal representation for victims who have been affected by inappropriate conduct, harassing comments, or the failure of employers to address sexual harassment concerns. We can help employees file complaints, seek damages, and hold perpetrators accountable.
• Wrongful Termination: The loss of a job can be devastating, especially in situations where a termination was illegal. Freedman Law, LLC can help determine whether an employer violated an employee's rights, and we can help employees seek compensation or reinstatement as appropriate.
• Disability Accommodations: Employees with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodations in the workplace. If an employer has failed to provide the necessary accommodations or taken other illegal actions against a disabled employee, Freedman Law, LLC can make sure these issues will be addressed correctly. We can help employees assert their rights, receive the accommodations they need, or recover compensation for discrimination or retaliation.
• Severance Agreements: When leaving a job, an employee may be offered a severance package if they agree to sign a contract that will impose certain restrictions. Severance agreements may include non-compete or non-disclosure agreements, and they may also provide a person with severance pay or benefits. Our attorneys can review these agreements to ensure that an employee's rights are protected and that the terms are fair, and we can negotiate with employers to secure favorable terms that will protect an employee's interests as they transition to the next stage of their career.
