How We Help With Workplace Claims
We work with people in many kinds of roles, including gig workers, executives, hourly employees, and those in physically demanding jobs. In a place like Kent, disputes can arise in distribution centers, industrial facilities, medical offices, retail spaces, and corporate workplaces.
Whether your issue involves unpaid wages and back pay, discrimination, or retaliation, we explain the process clearly and help you understand what comes next.
Unpaid Wages/Back Pay
When an employer fails to pay wages on time or in full, that may violate your rights as an employee.
These cases can involve wage theft, unpaid commissions, minimum wage violations, and other pay issues. We handle claims under Washington wage laws, including the Minimum Wage Act and the FLSA.
Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination at work can take many forms. It may involve unfair treatment based on age, race, sex, pregnancy, religion, disability, or another protected characteristic.
If you are dealing with workplace discrimination, we can assess the facts and help you pursue the next appropriate step.
Workplace Retaliation
Retaliation happens when an employee faces negative treatment after engaging in a protected activity. That can include demotions, reduced hours, denied promotions, or harassment by management.
It often follows actions such as reporting discrimination, raising wage concerns, or filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you are facing retaliation at work, it is important to act quickly because some deadlines can be very short. Call 206-388-5887 to talk through your options.

Questions That Often Come Up After a Workplace Problem Starts
Do I need to quit my job before speaking with an employment lawyer?
No. It is often better to get legal guidance before making a major decision about leaving your job. The steps you take now can affect documentation, timing, and leverage.
What should I bring to an employment law consultation?
Useful records can include pay stubs, written complaints, emails, text messages, performance reviews, termination paperwork, schedules, and any notes you kept. Even without every document, an attorney can help you identify what may matter most.
Does it matter if the company’s main office is outside Kent?
Not necessarily. Many employees work in Kent or elsewhere in South King County while HR or leadership is based elsewhere. What matters most is the employment relationship, where the work happened, and the facts behind the dispute.
Can screenshots, schedules, or text messages help support a claim?
Yes. Everyday records such as supervisor texts, schedule changes, pay records, emails, and written complaints can help establish timing, patterns, and inconsistencies.
Can gig workers or misclassified contractors have employment-related claims in Washington?
Sometimes. Classification depends on the reality of the working relationship, not just the label a company uses. Misclassification can affect pay, benefits, and legal protections.
You Shouldn’t Have to Keep Second-Guessing What Happened at Work
A change in pay, hours, treatment, or job security can leave you wondering whether something crossed a legal line. A conversation with an attorney can help you understand whether you may have a claim, which records are worth preserving, and how to protect yourself before the situation becomes harder to untangle. Call 206-388-5887 to discuss your situation.
