The attorneys at the Curtis Legal Group have represented many companies of every size and type, as well as governmental bodies, which have run into legal difficulties with employees.

These cases can be extremely expensive and time consuming, especially in these days of electronic discovery, in which your entire computer system may be subpoenaed. You need experienced employment law trial attorneys on your side--not only to increase your chances of winning the case, but also to help keep costs to a minimum.

We also represent clients before administrative agencies in these matters, including Department of Fair Employment and Housing and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

We have experience representing companies in disputes involving: Harassment Claims. These come in many forms--sexual harassment, religious harassment, hostile workplace environment claims, and sexual preference harassment;

Wrongful Termination. This includes allegations that the employee was terminated in retaliation for requesting protected leave or workers' compensation claims, or whistle-blower claims;

Discrimination Claims. We defend companies against many kinds of discrimination claims in both State and Federal Court, including age, gender, race, disability, and Family Leave issues;

Wage and Hour Claims. This includes allegations by employees that they were not paid overtime wages or not given required lunch periods or breaks. Trade Secrets. We have represented companies on both sides of the issue-those seeking to protect their confidential information and also defending against allegations that a new employee is utilizing his or her former employer's trade secrets; and

Employment Contracts. In the same way that we can help you in creating an employment contract, we can also help with litigation arising out of one. We can help write modifications to these contracts when needed, as well as help to create termination agreements.

Of course, the best time to avoid employment litigation is before problems arise. Call our office if you need any employment law advice, or if your company is involved in any employment litigation.
