Practice Areas

If your employer has wrongfully failed to pay you a lawful wage or time and a half for hours over 40 we fight to get you the full compensation. We have represented employees in class actions, obtaining million dollar verdicts and settlements.

If your employer has a government contract and you are working on it, Illinois and federal law require a “prevailing wage,” which is usually comparable to union wages.

We protect employees who have been wrongfully terminated due to discrimination or in violation of whistleblower protections.

When it’s time to leave your employer, we can help explain the nuances of non compete agreements and in some cases negotiate a severance package.

We represent workers who have been the victims of sexual harassment, through unwanted sexual advances or a hostile work environment.

We are staunch advocates for equal pay for equal work: we stand beside female employees in their struggle for fair treatment and equal pay.

Many people sign these agreements without realizing how limiting they can be. We can help at the outset of new employment or if you are being challenged by a former employer.

Employees have rights under Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) relating to medical insurance, pensions and some severance pay plans. Even when you think you have no recourse against unfairness, the law may be on your side. We will listen and let you know if we can help.

If you work for a company that has contracts with the federal government and become aware of cheating or fraud, you may be eligible for Qui Tam litigation and a potential award for alerting the government to the cheating.
