Experienced Employment Law Attorney
For most people working in the private sector, employment law is an area of great concern. A talented sales professional for example, may come to believe that he or she has been treated unfairly regarding the payment of commissions, or the assignment of sales territories or accounts. In such disputes, large sums of money may be on the line – and even the salesperson’s continued employment at a company. Employees may suffer workplace discrimination, harassment on the job, wrongful discharge or they may be denied overtime pay that they are entitled to.

These legal problems are often complex and require careful legal analysis followed by vigorous representation. Attorney Joseph C.
