Our labor lawyers can assist you when you believe that your current or potential employer has broken federal, state and local laws or their own company policies regarding hiring, compensation, promotion or dismissal.

The Akin & Smith team provides aggressive representation and personal service to clients who have been subjected to sexual harassment, a hostile work environment, discrimination because of race, religion, age, gender, pregnancy, national origin or sexual orientation or who have suffered retaliatory or wrongful termination.
