Frequently asked questions
I think I'm being treated unfairly at work, what should I do?
Document instances of unfair treatment, including dates, times, locations, individuals involved, and details of what occurred. Report your concerns to your workplace’s human resources department, if available, and consider consulting an employment law attorney to understand your rights and options.
How can I tell if an employment law issue is serious?
An employment law issue is serious if it involves potential violations of federal or state laws, such as discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Other serious issues include wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination, retaliation, and breach of contract.
How can an employment law attorney in Delaware help me?
An employment law attorney can guide you through your rights, help determine if you have a legal claim, and represent you in court if necessary. They assist with negotiating settlements, filing formal complaints, and navigating the complexities of employment litigation.
How much will I get by suing my employer if I’m being treated unfairly?
The potential compensation from a lawsuit depends on the specifics of your case, including the nature of the unfair treatment and the damages suffered (e.g., lost wages, emotional distress, or punitive damages). An attorney can provide an estimate based on your unique situation.

What is wrongful termination and how can I prove it?
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of federal or state laws, an employment contract, or an implied promise of employment. To prove it, you generally need to demonstrate that the termination violated a specific law or contractual right and caused you harm.
