We Can Help You with Your Employment Dispute

We handle all kinds of employment law matters in Schaumburg, including:

• Discrimination Claims – If you have experienced discrimination based on a protected status such as race, sex, age, or sexual orientation or if you are seeking legal advice about a medical accommodation, we can provide the aggressive advocacy you need to fight for fair treatment.
• Non-Compete Agreements/ Litigation - Non-compete agreements can often be very restrictive, prohibiting employees from working in the same field or profession for a specified period of time. Such agreements are only enforceable in Illinois if they protect a legitimate business interest. Our firm has long been dedicated to fighting unfair and overly restrictive non-compete agreements.
• Retaliation - Retaliation can take many forms, including demotion or termination. Retaliation occurs when an employer takes action against an employee for engaging in protected activities such as filing a complaint or participating in an investigation of discrimination or harassment. Our attorneys are experienced in taking action against these unlawful acts.
• Severance Agreements - Severance agreements may include clauses that outline the severance package, including any monetary compensation, benefits, and other forms of payment, often in exchange for agreeing to waive certain specified legal rights. We can help you negotiate a fair severance package and make sure your rights are fully protected.
• Sexual Harassment Charges - Sexual harassment can take many forms, including physical touching or advances, verbal comments or innuendo, and even the display of derogatory images or materials. In all cases, it is considered a form of discrimination, and our legal team will fight for your rights and help you seek justice.
• Unpaid Wages and Overtime - Unpaid wages are a serious issue in the workplace that can have devastating consequences for workers and their families. We help our clients seek justice and compensation for unpaid wages. In Schaumburg, Illinois, employees have the right to receive all unpaid wages that they have earned. This includes wages from hours worked and overtime, as well as commissions, bonuses, or other benefits.
• Workers’ Compensation and FMLA Violations - At Fish Potter Bolaños, P.C., we can help you enforce your right to receive medical care, disability payments, or other benefits to which you may be entitled. We specialize in helping our clients protect their rights under workers' compensation and FMLA laws.
