West virginia's top employment law firm for all of your legal needs

Everyone deserves a workplace free of unlawful discrimination and harassment. No one should be fired for an illegal reason. But employers don’t always follow the law. Our law firm stands up for workers in West Virginia who have been treated unfairly – and that includes you. Our attorneys can work with you on a wide range of cases, including:

Discrimination Law

No matter what type of employment law case you’re dealing with in West Virginia, it’s critical that you contact us as soon as possible. Our discussion is confidential, and there’s no pressure to disclose anything to your employer. We just want you to know your rights and options.

The workplace situations we handle

Most people who call us are not shopping for an employment lawyer in the abstract. Something happened at work — a complaint, a leave request, a firing — and they want to know whether it was legal. These are the situations we take on most often.

  • Retaliation. You reported something — harassment, unsafe conditions, a wage problem — and your employer made you pay for it.
  • Wrongful termination. West Virginia is an at-will state, but at-will has limits. Some firings break the law.
  • FMLA retaliation. You took protected medical or family leave and came back to a demotion, cut hours, or no job at all.
  • Disability and accommodation. You asked for a reasonable accommodation and the request was denied, ignored, or used against you.
  • Workplace discrimination. Treated differently because of your race, sex, age, religion, national origin, or pregnancy.
  • Equal pay and gender wage discrimination. Paid less than a coworker doing substantially the same work.
  • Sexual harassment. Conduct that made your workplace hostile — and an employer who knew and let it continue.

If your situation is not on this list, call anyway. The question is always the same: did your employer do something the law does not allow?

    1. When should I contact an employment lawyer?

    You should contact an employment lawyer if you suspect unfair treatment, harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, wage theft, or if you need assistance with employment contracts or workplace policies.

    2. How do I know if I’ve been wrongfully terminated?

    Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates labor laws, anti-discrimination laws, or breaches a contract. An employment lawyer can evaluate your case to determine if your termination was unlawful.

    3. What should I do if I experience harassment at work?

    Document incidents, report the harassment to your employer or HR department, and consult with an employment lawyer to understand your legal options.

    4. What are my rights regarding unpaid wages or overtime?

    Federal and state laws regulate minimum wage and overtime pay. If you believe you’ve been underpaid, an employment lawyer can help you recover unpaid wages.

    5. What is the process for filing a workplace claim?

    Filing a workplace claim often involves submitting a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency. An employment lawyer can guide you through the process.
