Areas of Practice
Wrongful Termination
As a broad category, employees often do not know the true reasons as to why they are terminated. Our firm works with clients to uncover the truth of why they were terminated and how they the law can serve to protect their individual rights.
Unpaid Wages (Wage & Hour)
The Washington Minimum Wage Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act provides broad protections for employees who worked and receive less wages than previously agreed to. Matthew Ennis has extensive experience in litigation, arbitration, settlement, and trial in recovering wages on behalf of workers.
Retaliation and Whistleblower
No employee should be terminated for fired for what they reasonably believe to be employer misconduct. Washington provides broad protections for employees who report such abuse, unsafe work conditions, illegal conduct, etc.
Discrimination
Every employee has the right to be free from discrimination in the workplace based upon their protected class. Washington State has been a leader in providing broad protections for employees from unlawful discrimination.
Non-Compete and Severance Review
Our firm routinely works with individuals who have recently been terminated and needing review of their severance agreement. This involves a comprehensive review of the reasons for termination to determine if the severance agreement is appropriate for the client.
Sexual Harassment
In the year 2020, there are no excuses anymore for employers to not protect workers from harassing co-workers or managers. Victims of sexual harassment often feel embarrassed or ashamed about coming forward and standing up for their rights. Our firm works delicately with each of these clients and understands the sensitivities regarding the client’s experience and brave journey ahead.
