Kentucky Wrongful Termination Attorneys
Employers that require sophisticated defense in disputes with employees can find representation at the law firm of McBrayer. The experience offered by our lawyers allows us to zealously pursue resolutions to disputes of all types, including:
- Wrongful termination
- Title VII discrimination claims
- Wage and hour claims
- Employment contract disputes
Intervention During The Investigation Stage
Disputes may begin with an investigation. For example, an investigator from the Department of Labor may show up one day to discuss a wage and hour issue. This is the time to contact an attorney. Employers should not wait until these matters turn into full-blown disputes.
We get involved in these cases immediately. By stepping in early in the process, we can often keep the disputes out of administrative courts and even circuit courts. The time alone that this can save is worth it, not to mention the potential financial savings. We know how to resolve issues before they become major problems.
Employer Defense From Trial Attorneys
We are dedicated to finding solutions, not to the continuation of conflict. The bottom line is that if a dispute can be resolved without the time and cost of going to court, we make certain that our clients know about it. We want to help employers resolve disputes to their satisfaction so they can get back to the day-to-day process of running their business.
In some cases, though, trial is necessary. Clients come to our law firm because they know that our team features experienced trial attorneys. Our experience goes beyond doing the paperwork and handling the negotiation. We have succeeded time and time again in front of a judge and jury.
