Atlanta Employment Attorney

The workplace plays a central role in the lives of nearly all Atlanta residents. You likely spend thousands of hours each year on the job or at your place of business. As an employee or employer, you have certain rights and protections that are afforded to you by state and federal employment laws. It is important that employers understand these rights and comply with labor laws that affect your business or workplace. As an employee, you should be aware of your rights and be prepared to take action if they are violated. You should not standby. Many federal statutes include provisions for the payment of attorney fees and we will work with you to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
