Civil Litigation

In the area of litigation our goal is to vigorously represent our client’s interests, taking litigation to its ultimate consequences if the client so desires, or positioning the case to obtain the most favorable out of court resolution, if the client prefers.  We maintain the client informed of all significant developments.  We also involve the client in decisions regarding litigation strategy, to ensure that the litigation is conducted to its satisfaction.

Our experience in this area includes claims of:

• Discrimination and harassment in all its manifestations, including age, racial, gender, disability and ethnic discrimination and harassment
• Wage and hour violations
• Breach of contract, including covenants not to compete
• Libel and slander
• Malicious prosecution
• Violation of constitutional rights, including invasion of privacy
• Job reservation and reinstatement
• Wrongful termination
• Reasonable accommodation

We defend employers in these cases both before local and federal courts.  We also represent them in procedures before the Bureau of Labor Standards, the Anti-Discrimination Unit, the Bureau of Unemployment Benefits, the Industrial Commission and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
