Have you been discriminated against or wrongfully terminated from a Colorado or arizona workplace?
Weeks Law Group has a long history of fighting against injustices committed toward employees across a wide range of industries. Whether you have been the victim of unequal treatment because of your race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, we want to hear your story. We offer reasonably priced consultations and may be able to offer hybrid fee arrangements. (More on fees below.)
Employment claims aren't always clear cut. Whether or not you have a valid legal claim against your employer or former employer will depend on the specific facts and nuances of the case. We will be straight with you about whether we think you have a good case you should pursue, or whether we think you should cut your losses and move on to the next chapter of your life. Some law firms over-state the value of your case to get you excited about a large settlement only to be much more realistic about what they can demand from the employer later on, once they have already charged you tons of money through retainers and hourly fees. At high-volume firms, only the attorneys win.
We pride ourselves on being sincere with our clients, detail-oriented, and tough on employers. Our main focus is getting you a settlement as efficiently as possible for the wrongs your employer committed with the aim of avoiding expensive and stressful litigation. At the same time, we are a trial law firm not bashful of court time, and sometimes obtaining a proper damages award for the client requires getting your story in front of a jury. If litigation becomes a likely scenario, we would weigh the pros and cons with you. Quite often, employment law cases can be settled out of court and sometimes through mediation.
Some of the types of Colorado and Arizona Employment Law cases we handle include:
Sexual Harassment
Discrimination based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, etc.
Retaliation
Hostile Work Environment
Wrongful Termination
Constructive Firing
FMLA violations
Equal Pay violations
Review of contracts or severance agreements
We stand up for employees who have been discriminated against, wrongfully terminated, or sexually harassed. We may also be able to represent you if you believe your employer has broken wage and hour laws by underpaying you or not paying you at all for time worked. We especially have a heart for representing women and minorities who feel they have been treated wrongfully because of their minority status -- whether it be being overlooked for promotion, retaliated against with demotions, constructive firing or other discrimination.
There is a shortage of female employment lawyers out there, and we are part of closing that gap. If you are a female who has been the victim of sexual harassment or discrimination, we understand why you may feel more comfortable telling your story to a female attorney, and we are here to listen and advocate, not to judge you. No matter what type of injustices or discrimination has led to your potential claim, you can rest assured that WLG is the strong advocate you need on your side.
Fee structure for employment cases:
We may be able to offer flat fees in some cases instead of charging by the hour and requiring a large retainer. Depending on the complexity of your case and the amount of time we estimate will be involved, we may offer a "hybrid" fee agreement, which is generally a flat fee or retainer combined with a contingency fee. A contingency fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict that is not typically paid until the end of the case. We will not be able to tell you what type of fee agreement we can offer until we review the details of your potential claims and speak with you.
