Charleston Employment Law Attorneys
State and federal laws protect workers. However, although there are laws that prohibit discrimination or require overtime pay, employers do not always comply. At Uricchio, Howe, Krell, Jacobson, Toporek, Theos & Keith P.A., our lawyers help people whose employers have violated their rights despite the presence of employment laws.
We understand your concerns
Our law firm knows that people do not want to be seen as complainers. Clients are often reluctant to request that their rights be enforced. They may be afraid that their employer will retaliate against them for filing a claim. Our South Carolina attorneys make sure that you are protected and that you are not penalized for upholding your rights.
Examples of employment law cases
We handle all types of employment matters, including those arising from:
- Failing to pay overtime, violating wage and hours law
- Permitting a hostile workplace environment
- Condoning sexual harassment
- Discriminating because of race, national origin, age, pregnancy, disability or sex
- Retaliating because an employer filed a workers’ compensation claim or reported illegal activity
- Ignoring the requirements of employment and labor contracts
- Failing to comply with family leave legislation
- Wrongfully terminating you in violation of the law
We stand by our clients
These are frustrating cases that sometimes take considerable time to resolve. Our law firm supports you during the process, making sure that you receive the information you need. We also make sure that you know all of your options, whatever the legal issue.
