Do you need an experienced Employment Attorney in Cook
County or one of the surrounding counties in Illinois?
Contact us. We can help.
In today's turbulent economic times, employers and employees face
challenges previously unknown to Americans. As demand for products and
services decreases, employers cut costs, all too often by reducing the
size of their workforce. However, not every reduction in workforce is
lawful - employees and former employees still have rights and
protections.
The advice and representation of a knowledgeable, experienced
employment attorney is more important now than ever before, whether you
are an employer with labor issues, an employee who has been mistreated
or wrongfully terminated, or an independent contractor with money owed
to you.
Our friendly, knowledgeable staff of referral counselors can help you
find an experienced employment lawyer who is right for you.
Meeting the American Bar Association's Standards for Lawyer Referral,
our service has among the highest experience requirements for its
employment attorneys in the entire nation.
Call us at (312) 554-2001 (Hearing impaired
individuals call (312) 554-2055).
