Employment Law Disputes We Handle

A dangerous, discriminatory, or hostile workplace can take its toll on you. At Matt Fendon Law Group, we understand what you’re going through. We’ve stood up for employees throughout the Flagstaff area and helped them pursue justice for:

  • Wrongful termination – Although most jobs are at-will employment, that doesn’t mean employers can terminate you for any reason they like. Some reasons for termination are illegal. These could include termination based on discrimination, violations of labor laws, and many other situations. If you believe an employer wrongfully terminated you, talk with an employment law attorney in Flagstaff about your options.
  • Discrimination – Sadly, even with strong state and federal laws in place, discrimination still happens in the workplace. Discrimination occurs when an employer treats you differently based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, and other characteristics. Unfair treatment, harassment, and other activities could qualify as discrimination.
  • Sexual harassment – Sexual harassment in the workplace can take many forms. Examples include unwelcome sexual advances, physical and verbal harassment, or harassment based on someone’s gender. When these types of behavior occur in the workplace, they’re violations of the law, and you may be able to bring a case.
  • Retaliation – In Arizona, you can engage in certain legal activities, such as participating in an Equal Employment Opportunity investigation, reporting harassment and discrimination, and fighting back against sexual harassment. When you do this, the law protects you, and employers cannot take actions against you in retaliation.

But some employers don’t understand the law or choose to ignore it. As a result, they may decide to retaliate against you for your protected activities. Types of retaliation could include termination, denials of promotion, and a variety of other actions. When an employer retaliates against you, it’s a violation of the law, and you could bring a case against them.

Our experienced and compassionate Flagstaff employment attorneys are ready to help when your legal rights have been violated. our employment attorney in flagstaff can meet with you in a free consultation to answer your questions and help you decide on the next steps that are best for you.
