The MA Employment Lawyers Team
The attorneys at MA Employment Lawyers are tireless and aggressive advocates who use their in-depth knowledge and extensive experience to maximize outcomes.
The majority of us are employed for a different person, other than ourselves, and our boss is referred to as our employer. With most employment instances, we have legal rights that are particular to the place of employment, and when we have a general understanding of labor law, we know what to do in those situations. Having this comprehension is a good way to make certain you are safeguarded and by having general facts, you will know better how to handle any instance that might occur while you are working.
Some things that could happen at work are hazardous work atmospheres or procedures, sexual harassment, fair treatment, the same for all employees, and numerous additional things that can take place at work. In addition, a situation could consist of errors with pay, such as overtime, and diverse items that entail compensation for work-related injuries and additional problems. It is extremely vital to understand each law pertaining to your employment because you do not know when something will occur or what will take place, and if you have some general facts, you will find it beneficial later, just in case.
General Employment Laws and How Employees can Learn More
Once you have found some details about these legal guidelines for your location, you can look at other good resources, such as at your nearby library or through your boss to learn more. Libraries usually have several legal books and sources that can assist you with learning more and your boss should have a few details and posters about diverse labor laws.
If you know someone who had a labor attorney previously, you can confer with the legal professional to learn more about labor law for your location and specific job. Family and friends may have additional details for you as well. However, employment attorneys are your best bet to gather up-to-date and accurate information for workplace laws in your state. Another place you can look into is the EEOC, The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. They should have good details about equal employment rules as well as labor laws that apply to that subject. They additionally have material concerning several workplace laws that might help you comprehend everything better.
Locating General Labor Law Details within Employee Handbooks If your boss consists of an HR office, Human Resources, you should be able to locate more details about labor laws within the employee handbook and through the HR office. They ought to be capable of answering any concerns or questions you might have regarding your job and state. That can be extremely useful and a few business owners provide paid training surrounding this topic as well.
Make certain to ask your employer about employment law for your workplace and state so you can comprehend at least the basics about the matter. That is the first area to begin learning, and if he or she provides training, you may wish to register for the course too. If you need additional details, you can look online, ask the employees at the EEOC or talk with friends and/or loved ones who are familiar with employment laws for your state and your particular line of work. If all else fails, you can talk to our lawyers, because an employment attorney is specialized in this subject and always has up-to-date information, and most attorneys are more than happy to answer questions.
Client Testimonials
Kevin represented me in a sexual harassment case against my former employer and former supervisor. He did a superb job in the case. The case went to trial at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and Kevin’s performance at the trial was outstanding. His cross-examination of the employer’s witnesses was very impressive. He also prepared me thoroughly for my testimony and made me feel very confident. We won the case and I was awarded a large sum of money in damages. It was a ground-breaking case because I was the first man to successfully sue for sexual harassment by a female supervisor. I felt vindicated and supported and was very fortunate to have Kevin as my attorney. I would very much recommend Kevin to anyone who has experienced sexual harassment, discrimination or any unlawful conduct in the workplace. He not only cares about his clients and has vast experience, but he also is professional and thorough as an attorney.
I was originally nervous about proceeding with a lawsuit against my former employer. Chris made that process easy. Chris made me feel protected and comfortable. He was patient, honest, and always answered my questions in a timely fashion. Chris was always there for me and was easy to talk to. Chris fought for me the whole way and won me a settlement I didn’t think was possible. I would recommend Chris to anyone who has a workplace problem.
I was very jaded with the legal system, as I had met with several law firms and was not impressed by anyone. I am so happy that I made an appointment with these lawyers. During the first five minutes of my initial consultation, I knew that I had found the right firm. They were exactly what I needed because they were compassionate and took the time to listen to me and validated my feelings. I was very impressed with their legal skills and how well they fought for me. The opposing counsel did not stand a chance against them and the financial compensation that I received far exceeded my expectations. I will be eternally grateful and would highly recommend them.
Kevin is an outstanding attorney. He achieved a great result for me. He is smart and creative. He came up with strategies that were incredibly effective and kept me up-to-date all the time. He fights hard and is aggressive against the other side while also being easy to talk with and thoughtful. A great litigator who fights for his clients.
MA Employment Lawyers represented me with an employment issue: trying to return to work after brain surgery. What impressed me most was their ability and passion to hold a client as a human being and not an hourly income or commodity. They put a great deal of thought into the merits of my case and presented me with various possible outcomes. That in itself was impressive and showed what strategic and thorough lawyers they are. They go way beyond that. They willingly share their compassion and let you know that foremost, you are a human being in need of an advocate, during a very stressful time, and offer you a real human behind the lawyer.
The law firm went above and beyond in handling my discrimination claim. I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth who, right from the start, very diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all my questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekends). Elizabeth was upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations. She was greatly confident and competent throughout my entire experience. In the end, she maximized my claim, for which I am extremely grateful! I was truly fortunate to fall into the care of Elizabeth. I would highly recommend her as she is an excellent attorney and skilled at what she does.
Michael is a sincere and highly skilled lawyer whom I was fortunate to find at a very low point in my life last year. I could not have asked for a more effective or compassionate legal advocate to defend me in my ordeal. From the start Michael treated me like a partner: I always felt like we were in it together, but I had a very smart lawyer doing all of the fighting. It was the greatest feeling. He kept me informed, listened to my concerns, and answered my calls and emails promptly. My adversary was quite nasty, and Michael was unflappable and unimpressed by his tactics. He was awesome. Some of the things I appreciated most about Michael: he always gave straight, thorough answers to my legal questions, and he treated me with compassion and respect, always. This is a sincere, conscientious man who is also a skillful lawyer. I was very fortunate that he fought for me, and I cannot recommend him more highly.
Kevin is wonderful! He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and outright with expectations. Not only did he do a fantastic job representing me, he always had an answer and was always willing to talk through things. Very dedicated and approachable! Just great.
Elizabeth has always been a joy to work with, kind, patient, and very understanding of anything I brought before her. She has offered calming, wise, and valuable insight on several hectic occasions. Elizabeth has always zealously represented all aspects of the legal matter at hand in a timely manner, and with great compassion. For these and so many more reasons, I strongly encourage you to partner with her and her team. You’ll be glad you did! Thank you, Elizbeth! You’re truly making a positive impact in people’s lives, every day.
Michael did an outstanding job for me and ultimately won a settlement. From the first day I spoke to him and told him my story, he was positive, professional, and more importantly, he cared about me personally. I couldn’t ask for a better attorney to help me through a very difficult and time-consuming process. His compassion helped me through the most difficult stretch of my life, and I can’t thank him enough. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
