Quality Legal Representation for Employees.

Counseling Individuals to Successfully Deal with Employers.

The relationship between employer and employee is among the most important relationships in our society. For this reason, employees need to know that their employers will not discriminate, harass or otherwise treat them differently or unfairly because of their race, gender, age or disability. They also want assurances that they will not suffer retaliation on the job for reporting wrongful conduct of the company. Recognizing this, the federal government and state legislatures have enacted laws protecting employee rights in the workplace. Specifically, the laws prohibit discrimination based on such classifications as race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religious creed and, in some instances, sexual orientation.

Too often, when a dispute arises between employer and employee, the employee ends up at a disadvantage when it comes to legal representation. Employers are often able to hire lawyers with far more experience and resources than employees can afford. At Dunbar Law, P.C., our objective is to level the playing field by providing employees with the same quality of representation as their employers. As such, we endeavor to provide our employee clients with the same level of respect and sophisticated representation that we provide to our corporate clients.
