Individual Claims Practice Area

Cary Kane’s attorneys will advise and represent individuals with discrimination claims against their employer. We will represent employees, whether they are corporate officers, mid-level executives or rank-and-file workers in a non-union workplace, when the employer has unlawfully discriminated because of age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability. We also will advise and represent employees who have been sexually harassed.

We will represent groups of employees when the employer has violated the minimum wage or overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act or other federal or state employment laws.

Our attorneys will represent benefit plan participants, whether as individuals or in groups, when their employer’s benefit plan has improperly denied retirement or medical benefits.

Our attorneys will review or negotiate employment contracts and severance agreements on behalf of executives and arbitrate or litigate breach of contract claims.

Before any representation commences the fee structure will be discussed, agreed upon and set forth in an engagement letter. There is a charge for an office consultation with an attorney. We see potential clients by appointment only.

Cary Kane does not handle worker’s compensation insurance matters, social security disability matters, malpractice actions or suits against unions or union affiliated benefit plans. We do not handle criminal matters. We do not represent corporations or other types of employers against employees.
