Employment And Labor Attorney
Kansas City, Missouri Area
Before federal and state courts as well as administrative agencies throughout the Midwest, I defend employers in connection with an array of employee claims including cases alleging employment discrimination based on sex, sexual harassment, race, religion, national origin, and violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Missouri Human Rights Act. I also handle matters involving wrongful discharge, wage and hour, the National Labor Relations Board, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) claims, including death cases.Frequently, I litigate unfair competition matters arising from breaches of non-compete and non-solicit agreements and violations of under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. I regularly secure temporary restraining orders and preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent businesses from suffering the irreparable harm that would result if their trade secrets were disclosed or their customers were unfairly solicited by former employees.I draft, review and provide state-of-the-art policies, handbooks, and employment contracts and speak, write and train employers on how to avoidance discrimination and other claims by employees.
