Helping Working People Defend Their Rights
Detroit Michigan Employment Law Lawyers

You Don't Have to Take It Anymore

If you've been the target of illegal misconduct on the part of your employer, you don't have to remain silent. In today's world, discrimination or harassment exposes companies to liabilities they cannot afford. The Detroit, Michigan employment law lawyers of Miller Cohen PLC have a long, well-established reputation as one of Michigan's strongest defenders of working people and their rights.

Recognizing the degree to which companies and their in-house legal counsel are sensitive to real harassment and discrimination claims, our attorneys are prepared to effectively negotiate and litigate compensation for our clients. Our lawyers leverage our clients' cases with the understanding that most responsible corporations do not want to be known as one that does nothing to stop harassment and discrimination. With over forty years of experience in standing up for employees, we know how to uncover wrongdoing, gather documents and information, and put the law on your side. Our employment law lawyers represent clients in regard to the following kinds of employment-related legal matters:

• sex or gender discrimination
• race discrimination
• age discrimination
• disability discrimination under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
• creed or religious discrimination
• wrongful termination
• sexual harassment
• whistleblower protection
• wrongful termination or discharge
• Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) disputes
• wage and overtime disputes under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

HR Won't Help Me - What Should I Do?

If you are experiencing discrimination, harassment or any other misconduct in the workplace and your claim is about a violation of federal law, it is wise to consult with an attorney before you contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). By law, the EEOC is required to notify an employer it is under investigation if a complaint has been registered against it. Some unscrupulous employers will expunge email records, phone messages, and scrub employee files.

Before turning to the EEOC, contact the Detroit, Michigan employment law attorneys Miller Cohen PLC so we can help you put together a plan to prove your case. We can help you identify records and documents you need to establish your case. Collecting emails, copies of performance reviews, HR policies and handbooks, and other information, will be important in establishing your employer's liability during negotiations or at trial. Not all discrimination claims go through the EEOC. Some may be filed with the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. You should know where to go and when to go. And you should know whether someone, your lawyer, should go with you.

If companies do not respond to reason, our employment law lawyers will make them respond to us in court. We have the experience and resources to get the kind of results that you need.
