Gainesville Employment Law Attorneys

State, local, and federal employment laws strictly prohibit employers from engaging in discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. If you have been terminated, denied a promotion, demoted, or discriminated against based on race, religion, gender, age, or disability, you may have grounds to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit.

At Massey & Duffy, PLLC, we have extensive experience handling wrongful termination cases, including claims involving discrimination, quid pro quo harassment, and unlawful employer retaliation.

If you have been fired or forced to resign due to threats or abuse by your employer, we are here to help.

Gainesville Disciplinary Action Lawyer

Facing disciplinary action or a series of negative performance reviews can be a stressful and frustrating experience, especially for employees who have never been disciplined before. If you believe your job is in jeopardy, it's important to speak with an attorney who can protect your rights and employment.

At Massey & Duffy, PLLC, we take the time to understand your situation and take proactive steps to help save your job. Our team of Gainesville unfair performance review lawyers is ready to take immediate action if you feel you are being treated unfairly.

How an Attorney Can Help Protect Your Job

As experienced employment law attorneys, we understand how difficult it can be to respond to negative feedback from your employer. While following up with your employer can sometimes resolve issues, it’s not always enough. We can assist in several ways, including:

  • Challenging inaccurate performance reviews

  • Investigating your employment history

  • Reviewing the basis for disciplinary action

  • Responding to disciplinary notices

In many cases, we help clients draft letters to their employers outlining their side of the situation. These letters often help resolve the issue. However, if the employer threatens termination, we may escalate the matter by filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or another agency. We make it clear that employers may face liability for retaliation if they fire an employee for exercising their rights.
