More than 80 years Handling Employment Law Matters

Since 1925, the attorneys at our law firm have successfully represented hundreds of clients with employment law concerns. We have experience examining complex severance agreements, and we work with employees to ensure their agreement meets their needs and protects their interests.

Employees have the legal right to consult a lawyer before signing a severance agreement. Do not let the money offered in the severance agreement tempt you into forfeiting your right to seek advice from an attorney. If you potentially have a lawsuit against your employer, it may be worth more money than the amount offered in the severance agreement, if you were the victim of workplace discrimination, such as:

We will also closely review the severance agreement to determine if it includes a non-compete clause. In a competitive market, a provision such as this may make it difficult to find another job. Our experienced severance agreements attorneys work to have damaging clauses, such at non-compete clauses, removed before you sign the agreement.

Be proactive and consult an experienced employment law attorney if you are concerned about the potential for the loss of your job. We have extensive experience working to negotiate better settlement agreements for employees, and we are ready to help you.
