Employment Law

Every worker deserves safe and healthy working conditions. When workplace rights are violated through discrimination, unsafe conditions, or retaliation, you deserve an advocate who will fight to make it right. We help workers throughout Maryland hold employers accountable and secure the justice they’ve earned.

The Law Office of Joel E. Segall

Workplace violations happen more often than they should. Discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, wage theft, and unsafe conditions can make your job unbearable and threaten your livelihood. Too many workers suffer in silence because they don’t know their rights or fear losing their job if they speak up.

You shouldn’t have to choose between your dignity and your paycheck. Maryland and federal laws exist to protect you, and we’re here to make sure those protections are enforced.

How We Can Help

We handle a wide range of employment law matters, including:

Discrimination & Harassment

If you’ve been treated unfairly because of your race, gender, age, religion, disability, national origin, or other protected characteristic, we’ll help you hold your employer accountable.

Wrongful Termination

Being fired in retaliation for reporting illegal activity, filing a complaint, or exercising your legal rights is unlawful. We fight to protect workers who’ve been terminated unjustly.

Retaliation

Employers cannot punish you for reporting safety violations, discrimination, harassment, or other illegal conduct. If you’ve faced retaliation, we’ll stand with you.

Wage & Hour Violations

Unpaid overtime, misclassification as an independent contractor, or denial of legally mandated breaks are violations of your rights. We help workers recover the wages they’ve earned.

Workplace Safety Violations

When employers fail to provide safe working conditions, workers suffer. We advocate for your right to a workplace free from hazardous conditions and hold negligent employers responsible.

Hostile Work Environment

No one should dread going to work because of ongoing harassment, intimidation, or abuse. We help workers document and address hostile work environments.
