Fort Lauderdale Public Employee Defense Attorneys
We Can Assist Government Workers Accused of Professional Misconduct
Public employees – blue-collar workers, police chiefs, clerk-typists, correctional officers, librarians, department heads – have rights as well as responsibilities. Allegations of abuse or professional misconduct can quickly spiral out of control. Often, public employees do not have a chance to defend themselves before the community learns of the allegations and assumes their guilt. Ultimately, false allegations can destroy public servants' credibility and careers.
At other times, a public employee may be the accuser, as opposed to the one being accused, and may face retribution in violation of Florida's public sector whistleblower statute or other federal acts. Also, public employees are just as likely to be subjected to other forms of discrimination as those in the private sector. We know your rights and how to assert them.
At The Amlong Firm in Fort Lauderdale, we are trial lawyers. We aggressively protect public employees' rights when they are accused of misconduct or need to take legal action themselves or need to take legal action themselves. Whether you are a teacher, a police officer, a deputy sheriff or a city worker, we are ready to fight for you.
