Weston Employment Law

Employment Attorney in Weston

Protecting Employees Since 1982 with Trial-Ready Representation

Workplace disputes rarely fit into a single category. Discrimination may lead to retaliation, a leave dispute may end in termination, or unpaid wages may overlap with contract concerns. An early legal evaluation can clarify which protections may apply and whether an agency deadline, severance agreement, or continuing workplace action requires prompt attention.

Employees in Weston can turn to our employment law lawyers for an assessment of what happened, when it occurred, who was involved, and which records support their account. We have represented employees since 1982 and approach serious workplace claims with litigation in mind.

Call (954) 953-5490 to discuss your workplace concern with our employment law firm.

Workplace Claims We Handle for Weston Employees

We represent employees in disputes affecting their jobs, pay, professional standing, and legal rights.

Our employee-side practice includes:

Workplace discrimination: Claims involving unlawful treatment based on a characteristic protected under state or federal law.
Sexual harassment: Claims involving unwelcome sexual conduct, hostile working conditions, or employment decisions tied to sexual demands.
Retaliation: Adverse actions following certain protected complaints, reports, or participation in an investigation.
Wrongful termination: Terminations that may violate an employment law, contract, or recognized public policy.
Whistleblower protection: Cases involving employees who report suspected unlawful conduct or refuse to participate in it.
Unpaid wages & overtime: Disputes over compensation, recorded hours, pay practices, and overtime eligibility.
Protected leave: Cases under the Family and Medical Leave Act, which provides eligible employees with job-protected leave for qualifying reasons.
Employment agreements: Disputes involving contracts, noncompete agreements, severance terms, releases, and related documents.

132 Years of Combined Employment Law Experience

Our team brings 132 years of combined experience to employee-side representation. Founding attorney Karen Coolman Amlong was the first woman elected as a state legislator from Broward County and secured Florida’s first multimillion-dollar sexual harassment judgment.

That history shapes how we examine workplace power imbalances and complicated fact patterns. We focus on the evidence, applicable law, procedural requirements, and practical consequences for each employee’s career.

Deadlines & Filing Paths for Florida Employment Claims

Discrimination and harassment claims may involve the Florida Civil Rights Act, federal laws enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or proceedings before the Florida Commission on Human Relations. The Broward County Human Rights Section also handles certain employment discrimination matters and county wage complaints, depending on the allegations and employer circumstances.

Different claims follow different timelines. The Florida Commission on Human Relations states that employment discrimination complaints generally must be filed within 365 days. A federal filing period may extend to 300 days in Florida for certain claims, but the applicable deadline depends on the law, employer, alleged conduct, and available agency process.

Whistleblower retaliation, unpaid wage claims, contract disputes, and other employment cases may carry separate requirements. An internal complaint, negotiation, or agency filing doesn’t necessarily preserve every potential claim.

Records to Preserve After a Workplace Dispute

Contemporaneous records can establish the sequence of events and how an employer responded. Employees should preserve information lawfully and shouldn’t delete, alter, or improperly forward confidential business material.

Potentially relevant materials include:

Employment agreements, offer letters, severance documents, and noncompete agreements.
Pay statements, schedules, time records, and compensation notices.
Performance reviews, disciplinary records, workplace policies, and termination notices.
Emails, text messages, written complaints, management responses, and agency filings.
A dated timeline of reports, changes in duties or pay, leave requests, and adverse actions.

Why Trial-Ready Preparation Matters

We prepare each case as though it may proceed to trial, even when negotiation, arbitration, or an administrative process could resolve the dispute. One hundred percent of our practice is devoted to litigation, and our record includes victories before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Preparation may include organizing evidence, identifying applicable legal theories, evaluating credibility issues, assessing claimed damages, and considering procedural options. The appropriate path depends on the facts, available evidence, governing law, and the parties’ positions. Not every claim goes to trial, but preparing for that possibility can support the case at every stage.

Review Agreements Before You Sign or File a Claim

A severance agreement, release, employment contract, noncompete agreement, or settlement document may affect an employee’s rights. Before signing, review its deadlines, restrictions, payment terms, released claims, confidentiality provisions, and obligations that continue after employment ends.

A single sequence of events may raise several legal concerns, such as discrimination followed by retaliation, unpaid wages combined with a contract dispute, or termination after protected leave or whistleblower activity. Examining the full timeline can reveal connections that might be missed if each event is treated as an isolated problem.

Before filing an internal complaint or agency charge, identify the conduct at issue, relevant dates, people involved, prior reports, and employer responses. The proper process depends on the type of claim, the employer, and the laws that apply.
