Find & Compare Employment Lawyers in Your Area!

Employment lawyers handle disputes and paperwork between workers and employers: wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment, unpaid wages and overtime, retaliation, severance agreements and non-competes, and on the employer side, handbooks, policies and defending claims. People usually arrive here after losing a job, being handed a severance offer, or receiving a complaint against their business.

This page offers no legal advice, only a way to compare firms. The first question is which side the firm works for, since many represent only employees or only employers. Then ask how they charge: contingency on employee claims, or hourly and flat fees for reviewing a severance agreement or drafting policies. Agency complaints can carry short filing windows, so raise timing on the first call. Ask who will handle your matter day to day and how quickly messages get answered. Look the lawyer up in the online directory of the state bar that licensed them. Related practice areas sit under legal services.
