Employment Litigation - Shields Petitti & Zoldan, PLC

What is Employment Litigation?

Employment litigation is the process of resolving legal disputes that arise between employers and employees. These disputes can cover a wide range of issues, including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage and hour violations, and other employment-related matters. Employment litigation can take place in a variety of forums, including state and federal courts, administrative agencies, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings.

The process of employment litigation typically begins when an employee files a claim or lawsuit alleging that their employer has violated their rights under employment law. The employer then has the opportunity to respond to the claim and defend themselves against the allegations. If the case goes to trial, a judge or jury will hear evidence and arguments from both sides and make a decision on the merits of the case.

Employment litigation can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it can be stressful for both employers and employees. It is important for both parties to seek legal representation to protect their rights and interests. An experienced employment lawyer can help navigate the legal process and negotiate a resolution that is fair and just for all parties involved.

In some cases, employment disputes can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings, such as mediation or arbitration. ADR can be a quicker and less costly option for resolving disputes, and it allows the parties to have more control over the outcome of the dispute. However, it is important to note that the decisions made in ADR proceedings are typically final and binding, so it is important to carefully consider the pros and cons of this option before proceeding.

Overall, employment litigation can be a challenging and stressful process for all parties involved. However, with the help of an experienced lawyer, it is possible to effectively resolve employment disputes and protect the rights and interests of both employers and employees.

    
 
 
      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met with Michael Zoldan, and I was immediately relieved after our consultation. I felt anxious and overwhelmed coming in, and in the end I felt calm and more importantly, heard. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and honestly just made the whole process so much easier than I initially thought. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and especially his genuine take on my situation.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife (Donna) had an unpaid vacation and severance issue with the Church that employed her as Children's Pastor. I found Shields Petitti & Zoldan by "googling around" and it led me to Sarah O'Keefe. I have been in business world since 1969 and used many attorneys over the years for different "problems". I found Sarah and Shields to be very efficient and got Donna the result she wanted. I would highly recommend Shields Pettitti & Zoldan and in particular Sarah O'Keefe for any employment-related issues that you might have and want resolved.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The search for someone who would be willing to set up a consultation with me was difficult (to say the least) as my situation was slightly peculiar, Michael Zoldan was the only one who would set up a time for a consultation. We took a large chunk of time to explore my situation before discussing multiple options that I was so incredibly satisfied with! I cannot express enough how I appreciate the time he carved out of his day for me and I continue to keep in contact with him to this day!!

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I consulted with Sarah O'Keefe about a workplace fairness issue. Sarah was professional and thorough, carefully reviewing my concerns and documentation. She was honest in concluding that there wasn't a legal case, and I valued her guidance in deciding on the right course of action.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sarah was such a huge help. She took the time to ask for all the details of our situation and truly acknowledge what was going on. All her advice was well thought out and shared our best interests. It’s very clear she cares about her clients and actually takes the time to listen. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help and wants to be treated with genuine concern for your situation and not just another case. Thank you Sarah!!
