Our attorneys also strongly emphasize preventative measures in handling Employee Disputes, such as legal consultations regarding regular business practices and policies, carefully documenting all improper employee behavior, and prompt resolution of employee disputes before a lawsuit is filed. During an initial consultation, our attorneys review not only the lawsuits you are facing today, but also proactive measures to help prevent minor issues from becoming future lawsuits.
