Retaliation and Wrongful Termination
A number of federal and state laws prohibit an employer from firing, demoting, or taking other adverse action against an employee who has complained about or tried to stop unlawful activity. If you believe your employer has retaliated against you because you spoke up about something illegal, you may have a legal claim against your employer. Contact Tahinci Law Firm today for a case evaluation.
Noncompete Agreements
Noncompete agreements are only enforceable when they meet certain criteria. If your former employer is threatening legal action because you allegedly violated a noncompete agreement, contact us for advice on how to proceed and, if necessary, to defend you in a lawsuit.
First Amendment Violations
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits state and federal government officials from infringing upon your freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, right to peaceably assemble, or right to petition the government for redress of grievances. It also prohibits government bodies from endorsing religion. If you believe that a government employee or entity has violated your First Amendment rights, schedule a case evaluation today.
Public Employee Due Process Violations
Public employees are entitled to due process in termination, demotion, and when their employer takes other adverse action against them. If you were employed by a government entity and you were fired or demoted without a chance to defend yourself, you may have a due process claim.

Family and Medical Leave Act
Employers of a certain size are required to grant employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for their own medical condition or to care for a close family member. Your employer cannot terminate you or take other adverse action against you for exercising this right to medical leave. When you or your spouse or child is sick, the last thing you need to worry about is losing your job. If your employer has denied you medical leave or terminated you for taking FMLA leave, contact Tahinci Law Firm today for a case evaluation.
Employment Contracts & Severance Agreements
If you’ve been offered an employment contract, you should fully understand all the terms before signing. A lawyer can explain the proposed contract and assist you in negotiating for different terms. If your employment is terminated and you are asked to sign a severance agreement, it is imperative that you consult an attorney to be sure you are not giving up valuable rights in exchange for an unfair payment.
Workplace Accommodations
Sometimes employees require accommodations to perform their job duties, due to disability, pregnancy, or religious requirements. Your employer may have an obligation to provide an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII, or a state law. If your employer is not giving you the reasonable accommodations you need, reach out today to discuss your options.
