Whether you’re facing wrongful termination, harassment, wage theft, or any kind of workplace discrimination, we are here to help.

We serve clients across Oklahoma, with a concentration of work in Oklahoma City and surrounding communities. Our OKC employment attorneys are known for their diligence, deep legal knowledge, and unwavering client support.

Common Types of Cases We Handle

We represent clients in a wide range of employment matters. Below is a detailed breakdown of the legal issues we handle regularly and where you can learn more:

Fired Unfairly? You May Have Legal Options

When an employer fires you for reasons that are illegal or unethical, that’s not just unfortunate—it may be unlawful. Wrongful termination can take many forms, including retaliation, discrimination, or a violation of your employment contract.

As a seasoned wrongful termination lawyer, we often help clients who were terminated for:

  • Reporting harassment or unsafe working conditions
  • Taking protected medical or family leave
  • Filing for workers’ compensation
  • Refusing to participate in illegal activities
  • Raising concerns about workplace discrimination

In each of these wrongful termination cases, we work to prove your rights were violated—and we pursue the compensation and justice you deserve.

Understanding Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace is illegal under both Oklahoma and federal law. Still, it remains a common issue for many workers. Our discrimination lawyers help employees file claims under the Discrimination in Employment Act, as well as other statutes that prohibit bias based on:

  • Race or national origin
  • Gender or sexual identity
  • Pregnancy or childbirth
  • Religion
  • Age (especially for workers over 40)
  • Disability or medical conditions

If you’ve experienced retaliation, job loss, or a hostile work environment because of one of these factors, you may have a strong discrimination claim. Our team can help you document the issue and pursue legal action under applicable discrimination law.

Are You Being Paid What You’ve Earned?

Wage violations often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Employers may misclassify workers, refuse to pay overtime, or manipulate time records to avoid fair compensation. As experienced labor law attorneys, we help employees fight back when their paychecks don’t reflect the hours they’ve worked.

If you’ve been denied overtime pay, or suspect that your employer is underpaying you, we can help. Check your rights at the Department of Labor's official guide or visit our page on overtime violations.

Retaliation Is Illegal—Even If It’s Subtle

One of the most common forms of injustice in the workplace is retaliation. If you’ve been punished, demoted, or fired for reporting harassment or asserting your rights, our experienced employment law attorneys know this is a serious issue that shouldn’t be ignored. Our firm routinely handles discrimination and retaliation claims where an employee took a protected action—like reporting sexual harassment—and was subsequently penalized. Whether it's being passed over for a promotion or being let go without cause, retaliation is against the law

Serving Public and Licensed Professionals

Our work also includes the representation of professionals and government employees, including:

  • Federal workers in EEO and MSPB matters
  • Educators in disputes with local school boards
  • Licensed professionals in hearings before the Nursing, Medical, and Dental Boards

These cases often involve more complex legal procedures, which our attorneys are fully equipped to handle.

When Should You Contact an Employment Lawyer?

Too many people wait too long before contacting an employment law attorney—only to find out their deadline for taking legal action has passed. If you’re unsure whether you have a case, it’s always worth scheduling a consultation.

You should reach out if:

  • You’re experiencing harassment or a hostile work environment
  • You’ve been fired or demoted after reporting misconduct
  • You haven’t been paid fairly for all your hours
  • You’ve been denied accommodations for a medical issue
  • You’re over 40 and believe you’ve been targeted due to your age (age discrimination in employment)
