Comprehensive Employment Law Representation

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees—from hiring and firing to workplace policies, discrimination claims, and more. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling a broad range of employment matters, including:

– Wrongful termination
– Discrimination and harassment (based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, etc.)
– Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting misconduct
– Wage and hour disputes
– Unpaid overtime or misclassification of employees
– Hostile work environment claims
– Employment contracts and severance agreements
– Non-compete and confidentiality agreements
– Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations
– Workplace investigations and policy reviews
– Unemployment benefits disputes

We represent both employees seeking justice and employers working to comply with the law and avoid costly litigation.

Wrongful Termination

Idaho is an “at-will” employment state, which means employers can generally terminate employees for any reason—or no reason at all—as long as it’s not illegal. However, if you were fired for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for protected activity, or in violation of an employment contract, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.

Common examples include:

– Being fired after reporting harassment or unsafe conditions
– Termination due to race, age, gender, disability, or religion
– Retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation or FMLA claim
– Dismissal in violation of a written employment contract or policy

We’ll evaluate the circumstances of your termination and help you pursue fair compensation, reinstatement, or other remedies.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

Employees are protected under state and federal laws from discrimination and harassment in the workplace. If you’ve been treated unfairly based on a protected characteristic—or subjected to inappropriate comments, unwanted advances, or a hostile environment—we’re here to help.

We handle cases involving:

– Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
– Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
– Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
– Equal Pay Act
– Idaho Human Rights Act

Our attorneys will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and build a strong case that holds your employer accountable for violating your rights.

Wage and Hour Violations

Every worker deserves fair pay. If you’ve been denied overtime, not paid for all hours worked, or misclassified as an independent contractor to avoid benefits, you may have a valid claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or Idaho law.

We represent employees in claims involving:

– Overtime pay disputes
– Unpaid wages or commissions
– Minimum wage violations
– Meal and rest break violations
– Off-the-clock work
– Independent contractor misclassification

We also advise employers on wage compliance and defend businesses in Department of Labor audits and lawsuits.

Employment Contracts and Severance Agreements

Before signing or enforcing an employment agreement, it’s important to understand your rights and obligations. We help employees review job offers, non-compete clauses, confidentiality provisions, and severance agreements to ensure they’re fair and legally sound.

For employers, we draft clear, enforceable employment contracts that protect your business and reduce the risk of litigation down the road.

We also handle disputes over:

– Breach of contract
– Enforceability of non-compete clauses
– Severance terms and releases of liability

Our goal is to protect your interests and provide peace of mind—on either side of the employment relationship.

Whistleblower and Retaliation Claims

If you were demoted, harassed, or fired after reporting illegal conduct, safety violations, or discrimination in the workplace, you may be protected under whistleblower laws. Retaliation is illegal—and you have the right to seek justice.

We help employees stand up against retaliation and pursue compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and reputational harm.
