Jacksonville Employer Retaliation Attorney

As an employee, you have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination or harassment. You also have the right to alert authorities when your employer violates the law. And you have the right to exercise these legal rights free of employer retaliation.

At the Law Offices of Elizabeth M. Oakes, we protect your career when retaliation results in loss of your job, lack of advancement, or other adverse actions against you. If you have been fired in retaliation for your legal conduct, you may have a legal claim against the employer. 

We put you and your employer on equal terms before the law

Many larger companies employ high-powered, expensive lawyers to defend them against claims and lawsuits from employees. It is almost impossible to stand up against them without competent, experienced, aggressive attorneys on your side. Our firm investigates and files claims for employees suffering from employer retaliation in the form of dismissal, discipline, or unfair treatment resulting from:

• Filing a worker's compensation claim
• Taking a pregnancy, disability, or other medical leave under the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Invoking rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act
• Reporting discrimination or sexual harassment
• Supporting someone else's claim of discrimination or sexual harassment
• Complaining to authorities about unlawful wage and hour practices or other illegal employer acts (Whistleblower Protection Act, Sarbanes-Oxley Act)

We have experience investigating and proving complex employment law cases. We work efficiently and effectively to bring positive resolution for our clients.
