How We Pursue Justice for Workplace Misconduct
Whether your employer is large or small, whether you are an “executive,” “white-collar,” “blue-collar,” or “gig worker,” we work with you and fight for you. Here’s how our employment lawyers in Seattle, Sammamish, Bellevue, and across Washington State protect your rights:
Unpaid Wages/Back Pay
If your employer withheld wages, overtime, commissions, or back pay, an employment lawyer can help you understand your rights under wage laws like the Minimum Wage Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Seattle and Washington State wage laws, and the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA).
Wrongful Termination
A termination may be unlawful if you were fired for reporting misconduct, refusing illegal conduct, requesting protected leave, or standing up for your workplace rights. Our lawyers can review what happened, identify possible legal claims, and pursue the back pay, benefits, or compensation you may be owed.
Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination happens when an employer treats you unfairly because of a protected characteristic, such as race, gender, disability, age, or sexual orientation. It may involve discipline, pay, promotions, scheduling, termination, disparate treatment, or workplace policies that create a disparate impact.
Workplace Retaliation
You should not be punished for reporting misconduct, asking for legally protected leave, discussing workplace concerns, or standing up for your rights. Retaliation may include termination, demotion, reduced hours, negative reviews, increased scrutiny, or interference with future employment opportunities.

Your Most Common Questions About Employment Law
Can I speak with a lawyer before reporting a workplace issue to HR?
Yes. Speaking with a lawyer first can help you understand your rights, organize your concerns, and avoid saying something that could weaken your position later.
What records should I save if I think my employer acted unlawfully?
Save emails, texts, pay records, schedules, performance reviews, HR complaints, termination notices, and notes about key conversations or dates.
Can my employer punish me for discussing pay with coworkers?
In many situations, employees have legal protections when discussing wages or workplace conditions. If you were disciplined after a pay-related conversation, it may be worth getting legal guidance.
Can I have a case if I work remotely for a Bellevue employer?
Possibly. Remote work can still involve Washington employment protections, depending on where you work, where the employer is based, and what happened.
Should I talk to a lawyer before signing a severance agreement?
Yes. A severance agreement may ask you to give up important legal rights. Have it reviewed before signing so you understand what you are accepting and what you may be releasing.
