Employment Law

Employment claims handled in Kentucky and Ohio courts and before federal agencies. From discrimination and retaliation in state court to federal whistleblower cases before the Department of Labor.

Practice Areas

Employment law covers a wide range of workplace disputes, from a terminated employee who suspects unlawful retaliation, to a truck driver fired for refusing an unsafe load. The right venue and the right statute depend on what happened and who your employer is.

01

Employment Disputes

State court claims arising from the employment relationship: wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation for taking leave. If something went wrong at work and you think your employer crossed a legal line, this is where to start.

Whistleblower Cases

Federal whistleblower statutes administered by the Department of Labor protect employees who report safety violations, fraud, or regulatory misconduct. These cases are filed with OSHA and heard by administrative law judges — a distinct process from ordinary employment litigation with its own procedural rules, deadlines, and body of case law.
