Wrongful Termination

Unlawful or wrongful termination of employees has serious legal consequences. Employees have strong protections against employers who violate the law. Although Florida is an “at-will” state, your age, race, gender, or injury should not result in the loss of your job. If you believe you are a victim of unlawful termination, the Florida wrongful termination lawyers at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. are here to help.

Retaliation

What makes a strong workplace retaliation lawsuit is preserving and identifying evidence of retaliation in detailed documentation. This is where many people we have helped have fallen short in establishing a workplace retaliation case. Florida workplace retaliation lawyers understand the complexity involved with proving hostile workplace retaliation, and we will work closely through each step of the way. Keeping track of any change in how you are treated at work in great detail will help build a strong case.

Discrimination

Workplace discrimination is a serious matter that can cause emotional stress, loss of focus, and a drop in job performance. An employee may become so distressed that he or she may no longer wish to return to work, negatively affecting careers and creating a wide range of difficulties for individuals and families across the state. Our Florida employment discrimination lawyers encourage you to take action, stop workplace discrimination, and hold employers accountable.

Family Medical Leave Act

The employment & labor law attorneys at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. are experienced in representing cases involving FMLA violations throughout the state of Florida. If you have been demoted, fired, or otherwise punished for taking FMLA leave, take action. Your employer has a lawyer, why don’t you?

Wage Disputes

Do you need wage dispute lawyers? Even though there are state and federal laws that mandate employers to pay all wages that are owed to an employee, it is relatively common for companies to not pay individuals in full. A wage lawyer understands the complexities of employment law and can fight for your rights and collect unpaid wages and benefits.

Unpaid Overtime

Florida employers find ways to cut costs, often at the expense of their hard-working employees. This focus on the bottom line may end up violating rights and short-changing money owed to an employee. Do you have unpaid overtime? Florida overtime attorneys fight for the rights of people just like you, holding employers accountable by working hard for justice.

Contracts & Agreements

We read the fine print. Employee-employer agreements and severance issues require legal expertise to ensure the rights of employees are being upheld. Our Florida employment contract attorneys will act as your legal advocates and guide you through the complexities of contract negotiation, contract interpretation, and litigation or enforcement. Common employment-based contracts include non- (“non-compete”) agreements, trade secret agreements, and non-solicitation agreements.

EEOC Representation

If you have been subject to discrimination in the workplace, EEOC mediation serves to protect your rights to fair, equal treatment. With an experienced EEOC attorney, you have a powerful legal professional throughout the process to achieve the best resolution possible.

Fair Credit Reporting Act

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulates much more than the “credit report” or credit score you hear so much about. The FCRA offers valuable protections for employees (or applicants) when their personal information is used to make employment decisions. Were you wrongfully denied employment due to a background check? You may be a victim of a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation.

COBRA

“At the time I needed help from this law firm my life was in shambles to say the least. I needed to have a labor dispute handled with care and discretion and this firm came through 100%. My Attorney Christopher Saba is my Super Hero even when he was thrown a curve ball he regrouped and came back even stronger in my defense. Christopher and his team were very professional and patient with me and answered all my questions. I became extremely ill during my case and was not able to communicate with them but they did not give up on me or close my case, and they were extremely concerned about my health. Christopher made sure I was ready for my mediation and knew the steps and he was with me every step of the way, he made me feel even more confident than I already was. Christopher made me feel like part of his team and in the end we had a triumphant resolution to my case. DEFINITELY recommend this Law Firm if you ever have any Labor disputes in your career. You will not be disappointed.”

“Attorney Fenton was highly responsive throughout the entire time he worked on my behalf. Our interactions were always pleasant and he was consultative, empathetic, and direct. He set realistic expectations around what I could expect from a settlement and also around a timeline for the settlement, should it come to fruition. I was delighted, but not surprised when he did in fact settle the case in a way that was certainly fair and equitable for me. I appreciated his candor his enthusiasm for results and his clear ownership of responsibility for providing the best possible outcome on my behalf. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a litigation attorney.”

“Who you hire matters! Before finding Mr. Cabassa, I had representation from another firm. I thought I had the best deal in town, as this firm was charging me significantly lower fees. Thankfully, I did my research and realized that this firm was putting my case in jeopardy with the statute of limitations. I fired them and hired Mr. Cabassa. I was fully aware the defendant in my case would have plenty of money and a great defense counsel, so it was essential for me to have a great, reputable firm with strong financial backing. When the defendant saw who my new legal counsel was, they changed their tune around very quickly. I am beyond grateful for Mr. Cabassa and his team. His firm showed me compassion, respect and transparency from day one. I wish from the beginning I would have had their firm represent me. The amount of time, stress and money my family would have saved would have been so beneficial. I am grateful that the chapter is closed and I now can focus on my health and family. Careful who you hire, it truly matters.”

“Regarding Brandon Hill and Associates — I got a message on Facebook last night from a very appreciative class member that was so heartfelt, appreciative and sweet. It made me tear up a little. I like to give credit where credit is due. I just wanted to let you know that I realize now that a class action lawsuit is different than your typical lawsuit. I realize now that it is not about just getting compensated a little for someone else’s wrong doing, and that it means so much more to many many other people that were harmed or wronged all by the same entity, in hopes that it will somewhat punish them for their actions and hold them accountable. That my case is so much more than just my complaint. You did all the work and deserve all the credit for the outcome of this case. You deserve all the praise because you selflessly stood up to this company on the behalf of us all. You gave us a voice when we all felt like we just had to take how we were treated, and nothing would ever be done to hold them accountable. You are the hero… Again, thank you for all of your work and time. You are definitely one of the good ones , and deserve nothing but good fortune and appreciation from every life you touch. On that note, I will not take any more of your time. I just wanted to say thank you again, and tell you your are the best!”

“I was recently represented by Mr. Brandon Hill. Mr. Hill was an excellent litigator in my defense against a former unethical, immoral, and crooked employer. He was experienced, confident, professional, knowledgeable and aggressive when needed. (I am glad he was on my side!) I would highly recommend his firm and specifically his services for your defense. (If this review had more “stars” for the ranking, I would easily give him more!!!) Ask for Brandon Hill if you want to win your case! Thank you again for your services!”

“Dear Steve, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for taking my case. Your staff always kept me informed and the Secretaries were polite and prompt in returning my calls. I know that most Attorney’s wouldn’t have been interested in taking a case of this proportion. Once again, the adage rings true- “one person can make a difference”. That person is you. Take care of yourself Steve. It was my pleasure to know you.”
