As employees, we expect to be treated with dignity and respect at the workplace by our supervisors and co-workers. State and federal employment laws have been enacted to protect employees from discrimination, wrongful termination and other illegal conduct.
Unfortunately, employment law violations happen frequently in New Hampshire. According to the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights, the state agency responsible for handling discrimination claims, there were 318 complaints of employment discrimination filed in 2007.
Deciding on the right employment lawyer means getting an experienced employment lawyer. Some law firms represent both employers and employees -- our employment lawyers focus on representing employees.

While some employment cases settle without the need to file a lawsuit, we provide aggressive representation so that your former employer knows we will take a case to Court if necessary to get full and fair damages. With our experienced employment lawyers, employers and their lawyers realize that we are prepared to try a case if it does not offer the compensation you deserve. Without an experienced employment lawyer on your side, the employer may not take the risk of going to Court seriously - that hurts you because you may not get the compensation you are entitled to.
Our employment lawyers handle all aspects of employment law. Douglas, Leonard & Garvey's employment lawyers work with you to guide you through the process and ensure that your best interests are protected. Our employment lawyers have the depth of experience and knowledge to handle the most challenging employment disputes.
