FAQs

What makes an employment lawyer qualified to handle complex workplace cases?
Qualified employment attorneys possess extensive knowledge of federal and state employment laws, courtroom experience in employment litigation, and membership in professional organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association. Workplace Law Partners maintains continuing education in evolving employment law and has successfully handled hundreds of workplace violation cases throughout Illinois.

How do contingency fee arrangements work in employment law cases?
Contingency fee structures mean attorneys receive compensation only when they secure recovery for clients through settlement or trial verdict. Workplace Law Partners advances all case costs including expert witness fees, court filing costs, and discovery expenses. This arrangement ensures access to quality legal representation regardless of financial circumstances while aligning attorney incentives with client success.

Can I file an employment law claim if I signed a non-disclosure agreement?
Non-disclosure agreements cannot prevent employees from filing complaints with government agencies like the EEOC or Illinois Department of Human Rights. Recent Illinois legislation limits enforcement of NDAs in harassment cases and provides additional protections for employees reporting workplace violations. Employment attorneys can evaluate NDA provisions and advise on available legal options.

What evidence helps prove workplace discrimination or harassment?
Employment law cases succeed through various forms of evidence including emails, text messages, witness testimony, company policies, training records, and statistical analysis of employment decisions. Even without direct evidence of bias, circumstantial evidence can establish discrimination through patterns of treatment, timing of adverse actions, and comparative evidence regarding similarly situated employees.

How long does it take to resolve an employment law case in Illinois?
Case timelines vary based on complexity, court schedules, and settlement negotiations. Administrative complaints with agencies typically resolve within 6-18 months, while federal court litigation can extend 2-4 years depending on discovery requirements and trial schedules. Many cases settle during mediation or early settlement conferences, reducing time and costs for all parties.
