Employment Law Practice Areas

Employment Discrimination

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents employers from making employment decisions based on a worker’s membership in a protected group. Protected groups include age, race, gender, nationality, religion, pregnancy, disability, and language. If you were denied a promotion, terminated, demoted, or transferred based on such a factor rather than your performance, we strongly encourage you to contact us. We work not only to help our clients but to foster positive change throughout South Carolina’s workplaces.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment in the workplace can be verbal or physical and creates an environment of fear and intimidation. It can take many forms — unwelcome touching, quid pro quo situations, lewd comments, sexual emails or texts, or sexually explicit materials in common areas. If you or a loved one was harassed by a co-worker or supervisor, act quickly. We work to recover the damages you are owed and to prevent this conduct from happening to others.

Fair Labor Standards Act & Wage Disputes

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) ensures employees are properly compensated for their work. If you have a wage-hour dispute or believe your employer is violating the FLSA, it is wise to seek experienced counsel. We are prepared to handle cases involving:

  • Failure to pay overtime
  • Failure to pay vacation time
  • Employee misclassification
  • Failure to pay wages in a timely manner
  • Failure to pay minimum wage

Frequently Asked Questions

Discrimination means an employment decision was based on your membership in a protected group — such as age, race, gender, religion, or disability — rather than your performance. Being denied a promotion, terminated, demoted, or transferred for such a reason may be unlawful.

Many employment claims have strict, short deadlines — for example, discrimination charges often must be filed with the EEOC within 180 or 300 days. Because deadlines vary and can be short, it is important to contact us as soon as possible.

Retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim or for exercising your rights under the Family Medical Leave Act may be unlawful. If you believe you were terminated for these reasons, we can help.

We offer a consultation to review your situation, explain your options, and discuss any fees before you decide how to proceed.
