What Rekhi & Wolk Can Do For You
We have taken on cases against small businesses, major employers, and companies in between. No matter who you work for, you deserve to understand your rights and your options.
If unpaid wages, discrimination, or retaliation have disrupted your work life, now is the time to get answers. We work with employees across Kirkland and the Eastside who need clear guidance and a plan built around the facts.
Unpaid Wages/Back Pay
Employees must be paid what they are legally owed and within the time required by law. When that does not happen, you may have grounds to pursue legal action involving unpaid wages and back pay.
We handle wage-related claims under state and federal law and can help you understand what steps make sense.
Workplace Discrimination
If you’ve faced discrimination in your workplace, whether tied to race, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation, you may have legal options. Unequal treatment at work should not be ignored.
We can help you sort through what happened, document it clearly, and decide how to respond.
Workplace Retaliation
Retaliation can happen after an employee reports misconduct, raises concerns to management, or pushes back against unlawful treatment. It may appear as lost hours, discipline, harassment, or blocked opportunities.
If you’ve faced retaliation after speaking up at work, act quickly. Deadlines may be short, and early advice can help protect your position and next steps.
Why Employees Turn to Our Team
When your job, income, or reputation is on the line, general legal advice is not enough. You need a team that understands employment law, explains your options plainly, and knows how to move a case forward with purpose. Our approach is built around the facts of your situation, not a standard formula.
That matters in Kirkland, where many employees work in demanding professional environments, commute across the Eastside, or split time between offices and remote work.

That depth of experience matters when your livelihood, reputation, and financial stability are on the line.
✔ A strategy shaped around your situation.
We look closely at what happened, what outcome matters most to you, and which legal paths make the most sense. From there, we build an approach that fits your situation instead of forcing it into a standard template.
✔ Clear, practical communication.
Employment claims can feel overwhelming, especially when deadlines, paperwork, and employer pressure all hit at once. You will know where things stand and what comes next.
✔ A strong record in employment cases.
The firm has handled matters involving unpaid wages, back pay, retaliation, discrimination, leave-related issues, and other job-related claims, including recoveries of more than $10 million in unpaid wages.
✔ Prepared to stand up to employers of any size.
From smaller employers to large companies, we are ready to pursue negotiation, litigation, or trial-focused preparation when the facts call for it.
✔ A team that treats you like a person, not just a file.
Your input matters. Good representation also means listening carefully, communicating honestly, and helping you make informed decisions throughout the process.
Questions People Often Ask When Work Stops Feeling Fair
How long do I have to file an employment claim in Washington?
The timeline depends on the type of claim involved. Wage disputes, discrimination claims, retaliation matters, and wrongful termination cases can all have different deadlines. That is one reason it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after a problem arises.
Can I still take legal action if I have not been fired?
Yes. Many employment claims begin while a person is still working for the company. Issues like ongoing discrimination, retaliation, harassment, denied pay, or unlawful scheduling practices may need to be addressed before the situation escalates further.
What should I save if I think my employer violated my rights?
Helpful records may include pay stubs, schedules, emails, text messages, performance reviews, disciplinary notices, written complaints, and any notes that help document what happened and when. The more clearly the timeline can be shown, the stronger the foundation for evaluating your case.
Can an at-will employee sue for wrongful termination in Washington?
In some situations, yes. Even in an at-will employment state, employers still cannot fire workers for unlawful reasons such as retaliation, discrimination, or other conduct that violates state or federal law.
Can I have a claim if I work remotely from Kirkland or split time between home and the office?
Yes, in many situations you still may have a claim. What matters most is where you performed your work, what happened, and which state or local laws apply. That can be especially important for employees who work remotely from Kirkland, commute elsewhere on the Eastside, or divide their time between locations.
You Shouldn’t Have to Stay Silent at Work
If something feels wrong at work, whether your pay changed, your treatment shifted, or you are worried about what could happen after speaking up, it helps to get answers early. A focused conversation can clarify your options, highlight the deadlines that may apply, and make the next step feel more manageable.
