LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAWYER IN NAPLES

Hiring an attorney can have a direct effect on whether your rights as an employee are protected. Often, the company, especially a large corporation, will have more resources and possibly a legal team in-house or retained to limit their exposure. In these cases, you may need an employment lawyer who can protect your rights and improve your chances of filing a successful claim. 

It can be difficult to decide whether an employer’s actions are illegal, and speaking to our attorneys can help you make this important distinction. We can also address any concerns you may have about negative consequences at work and investigate potential wage and hour violations which may be creating hardships for you and your family. 

We generally handle these cases on a “contingency plus” representation, meaning that the employer/defendant is obligated to pay our attorneys’ fees and costs (or a percentage of the clients’ recovery if our total fees are not awarded by the court).

Retaliation against an employee who files an employment claim is strictly forbidden by law under the Fair Labor Standards Act{: target="_blank"} (FLSA). Employers may not demote, reduce an employee’s hours, assign an employee an undesirable shift, reduce job duties, or give intentionally false poor performance reviews when a claim is filed. Employees may be entitled to additional compensation if their employer engages in retaliation.
