We spend the majority of our waking hours performing the duties of our jobs, and we hope that our efforts will be rewarded not only with pay, but with respect, advancement when deserved, and that we are treated with dignity and professionalism. Unfortunately, there are a great number of cases in which employees suffer from both financial and emotional damage when they are the target of certain types of illegal activities in the workplace, or are exposed to these actions.

At Matthews Law Firm, we are committed to assisting to resolve a wide range of employment law matters involving workplace discrimination, harassment, unfair or biased treatment and other problems that are illegal and have a negative impact on the individual. With over 22 years of experience, our lead attorney, Art Matthews, is a zealous advocate for the rights of individuals who are struggling with unfair treatment at work, and need to protect their rights under state and federal employment law.

Labor Law, Employment and Your Rights

Our firm offers professional legal counsel to help you address these issues, and to protect your legal rights in cases of violations of employment law. One issue that causes individual employees great stress and losses, both on a financial and personal basis, is workplace discrimination. It is illegal to discriminate against any employee based upon their gender, country of origin, sexual orientation, race, color, military status, religion or in retaliation. Those who face the consequences of these violations of state and federal labor laws are usually extremely concerned about how to address the problem; they may be worried about losing their source of income or fear that they will face retaliation for reporting the situation. These issues must be addressed with professional skill and a focus on protecting the future and livelihood of the individual, and we can help.

We assist individuals in cases of wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and Title VII cases. You have rights under the Family Medical Leave Act, and we can assist in protecting these rights and helping to get the fair treatment and consideration that is deserved under the Act. We are skilled in resolving legal issues involving a failure to pay overtime pay as is required under state law, and assisting those who are dealing with a hostile work environment, face pregnancy discrimination, or are concerned about reporting illegal activities as a whistleblower or facing retaliation for any complaint or report.

Our firm offers personal, one-on-one attention to each individual client, and we are personally concerned about your situation and in helping you get it resolved with the least stress for you and your family. We carefully address the case and pursue a resolution that serves your interests and protects you from suffering from further discrimination, abuse, or other illegal practice.
