Employment Counseling and Litigation

Employment Issues

Employees are generally considered to be employed “at will,” meaning the employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason or no reason – just not an illegal reason. State and federal law, however, in addition to law created by judges, can permit an employee to claim that his or her termination of employment is wrongful or illegal. Employers in Connecticut are also governed by state statutes and regulations governing the employment relationship and workplace matters.

When our company faced its first discrimination complaint, we retained Tony's firm because his credentials were impressive and ideally suited. He went above and beyond for us and to our relief, resolved the matter successfully and within our limited budget. Despite the onerous nature of the matter, it was a great pleasure to work with Tony.
