  lawful reason or no reason at all.  Some unlawful

  employment lawyer quickly.  Employment statutes
  generally have short statutes of limitations.

• Frequently, FW lawyers are able to find
  solutions where other firms have turned the

  the client to find an appropriate retainer
  agreement.

  Because of their trial experience, the FW
  lawyers know what it takes to ultimately win at
  trial and they know that decisions made at the

Retaliation

  employers unlawful conduct and to exercise their
  rights under the law.  If youve complained about
  discrimination, unequal pay, a hostile work
  environment, or sexual harassment, you may be
  protected by anti-retaliation laws meaning your
  employer cannot alter your conditions of
  employment such as pay, termination, and other
  conditions.  Further, if youve exercised FMLA
  rights or asked for an accommodation under the
  ADA, you may also be protected.  Contact an
  employment lawyer at Famighetti Weinick to
  discuss your rights under the anti-retaliation
  laws.

  resolve their differences in private settings
  such mediation or arbitration, or through more
  formal means such as administrative agencies,
  like the EEOC, or in court.

  can help its clients decide which forum is best
  for the case.

• Evidence is the key to winning any case.  As
  lawyers, we use information gathering techniques
  to determine what evidence will be available to
  us to win our case.

  gathering techniques.  Formal techniques include
  using court procedures such as document demands
  and depositions.
