In most cases, you should contact
us immediately if any of the above areas are applicable to
your situation. The sooner you get us involved in the case,
the sooner we can gather the appropriate evidence, obtain
witness statements and evaluate the facts. Remember, there are
certain statutes of limitation that may apply and if a lawsuit
is not filed within this specified period of time – you will
be forever barred from doing so in the future. Even if you did
not retain us immediately (which is generally the best thing
to do), you can retain us anytime prior to formally resolving
and/or settling your Employment Law Claim with the employer as
long as the Statute of Limitations has not passed.
Employment Attorney - What We Can Do To Help You
Our law firm can explain and fight
for your legal rights under the various local, state and
federal regulations that govern the employer / employee
relationships.
You should hire The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. to
assist you with your Employment Law Claim because there are
many potential hazards in attempting to resolve these types of
claims on your own. Foremost among them is that many employers
may deny to provide you with compensation for legitimate
claims or deny you with a fair and reasonable settlement.
The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. has represented
many individuals with Employment Law Claims, quite possibly
even someone that you know. Most individuals do not have the
experience of resolving these types of Employment Law Claims
and are at a decided disadvantage when they attempt to do so
on their own. Our years of experience in assisting grieved
employees’ helps level the playing field to your benefit by
maximizing the value of your Employment Law Claim in an
expedient and professional manner.
Employee Discrimination Claims
Unpaid Overtime; Unpaid
Wages and Commissions; Minimum Wage Violations; Employment
Discrimination; Sexual Harassment; Family and Medical Leave
Act Violations; EEOC Charges & Proceedings; Disability Rights;
etc.
Our law firm understands that any inappropriate conduct on the
part of your potential new employer, existing employer or
former employer can be devastating – not only for the grieved
employee but for their family as well. Discrimination is
prohibited in all aspects of the employment relationship,
including hiring, firing, compensation, job assignments,
promotions, demotions, and discipline. In cases of any type of
employee discrimination, the first thing we would examine is
whether or not you have a viable employment law claim based
upon the various local, state and federal regulations.
Assuming you have a viable employee discrimination claim, we
would determine if pursuing a claim on your behalf is viable
based upon the anticipated or expected recovery as compared to
the significant time and expense of pursuing this type of
claim. We will attempt to resolve your claim amicably as long
as the employer is willing to offer a fair and reasonable
settlement. In the cases in which they are not willing to do
so, then a lawsuit must be filed. In this instance, please be
prepared to wait for quite some time for your Employment Law
Claim to be resolved … assuming that the claim is forced to go
to trial.
Retaliation and Whistleblower
An employee whom reports, objects to or protests improper
or illegal activities by the employer is known as a
‘Whistleblower’. It is generally unlawful for an employer to
retaliate in any way (including the termination of an
employee) because that employee has reported, objected to or
protested any alleged illegalities by the employer or because
the employee has provided information to a government agency
to conduct an investigation. If you are a ‘Whistleblower’ then
we will help guide you through this painful process to protect
your rights and seek the compensation to which you would be
entitled.
Our law firm understands that any inappropriate retaliation on
the part of your existing employer or former employer can be
devastating – not only for the grieved employee but for their
family as well. Assuming you have a viable ‘Whistleblower
Claim’, we would determine if pursuing a claim on your behalf
is viable based upon the anticipated or expected recovery as
compared to the significant time and expense of pursuing this
type of claim. We will attempt to resolve your claim amicably
as long as the employer is willing to offer a fair and
reasonable settlement. In the cases in which they are not
willing to do so, then a lawsuit must be filed. In this
instance, please be prepared to wait for quite some time for
this type of claim to be resolved … assuming that the claim is
forced to go to trial.

Employee Torts
Your employer has a duty to maintain a safe working
environment for all employees. Regretfully, sometime negligent
or intentional acts occur at the workplace that may result in
serious physical, mental or emotional injuries to the
employee. An employer may be liable for these types of
negligent and/or intentional acts, including ‘negligent
hiring’ or assaults or batteries that are committed in the
workplace during the course and scope of employment.
Our law firm understands that any inappropriate conduct on the
part of your potential new employer, existing employer or
former employer can be devastating – not only for the grieved
employee but for their family as well. Assuming you have a
viable Employee Tort Claim, we would determine if pursuing a
claim on your behalf is viable based upon the anticipated or

to offer a fair and reasonable settlement. In the cases in
