- Employment DiscriminationOther federal statues such as the American Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) also have similar prohibitions against retaliation.
- Employment ContractJust as your employment contract binds you to perform certain duties, your employer is bound to fulfill certain promises to you. These promises can include the right to not be terminated without cause, promises relating to the duration of employment, and many others. You are entitled to enforce the employer’s end of the agreement just as they would enforce yours. At Fett Law, we handle all types of breach of contract cases, from enforcing the terms of the contract on behalf of employees, to defending employees when an employer claims you have breached the contract.

- Severance AgreementAn employer may offer you a severance agreement for several reasons. They may just wish to part amicably. They may also be trying to prevent you from suing them from claims they know you have.
- Sexual HarassmentFew things are as egregious as when a supervisor abuses their position to sexually harass a subordinate or when an employer allows sexual harassment to go unabated. Those who sexually harass co-workers in the workplace deserve to be punished and their victims deserve to be compensated. Our sexual harassment lawyers have been doing just that for over 35 years. We won the first sexual harassment case ever aired on CourtTV and have represented countless other sexual harassment victims in high profile cases that received national media attention.
- Disability DiscriminationDealing with a medical condition or disability can be frustrating enough. When an employer discriminates or retaliates against an employee because of a disability or medical condition it is downright outrageous. Fortunately, the law provides you with the tools to fight back. Our FMLA and disability lawyers have been doing just that for over 35 years on behalf of the disabled and those with medical conditions who need to use FMLA. Our FMLA and disability lawyers handle a variety of disability and FMLA cases, including disability discrimination, failure to accommodate disability claims, FMLA retaliation claims, and FMLA Interference claims.
