Helping Employees Understand their Rights

Like many states, Georgia follows the doctrine of “at will” employment. That means an employment relationship can be terminated at any time, by either party, for any reason (or no reason at all).  As a result, state law does not offer the best workplace protection for employees in states like GA.  

Luckily, there are federal employment laws that do provide employees certain legal rights.  However, some of those laws require “steps” prior to going to court.  

For these reasons, individuals need an experienced professional to evaluate their particular work-related situation to determine if there are any viable legal claims, and if so, the best way to proceed.    

At the present time I assist individuals with the following services:

  • Analysis of potential employment claims and assessment of possiblel damages
  • Contract review
  • Severance negotiation
  • Representation before the EEOC
  • Mediation
  • Litigation in Federal and Georgia courts

Employment Advice and Guidance for Businesses

Regardless of the type of business, navigating through employment-related legal issues can be challenging.  In fact, some companies do not seek legal advice until there’s a problem.  However, the right employment attorney can help to avoid costly claims by providing proactive advice about handling issues that arise with employees.  Likewise, having someone knowledgeable in employment law can ensure that your business practices are in compliance with federal and state requirements.

I provide a variety of legal services to my business clients, such as:

  • Advising on human resource issues
  • Analyzing potential employment claims
  • Creating and revising employee handbooks and HR documents
  • Investigating employee complaints
  • Drafting and reviewing employment contracts
  • Analyzing issues related to non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Reviewing HR policies and pay classifications
  • Representation in administrative procedures (Unemployment, EEOC,  etc.), mediations, and litigation in Federal and Georgia courts
