Employment Law & Litigation

The relationship created when an employer hires a worker is one of "at will" employment. This relationship allows an employer to legally hire or dismiss an employee at any time if the employer feels it is in the best interest of the business.

However, the right to refuse employment or to terminate an employee is not absolute.  Federal and state civil rights laws prohibit such "adverse employment actions" based on an employee's race, color, religion, age, gender, or disability.

These cases are highly complex and require specialized knowledge, and our office has considerable experience with the law and procedures in this area.  We have represented both employees and employers in proceedings before the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as the state and federal courts.

In today’s diverse workplace, claims of discrimination and harassment remain prevalent.  Recognizing the need to balance the employer’s right to operate businesses without unnecessary encumbrances with the individual's right to equal employment opportunities and harassment free workplaces, we carefully select and aggressively litigate cases of this nature.
