Employee Assistance

Understanding your rights as an employee is often difficult because so many state and federal laws may apply. At Lester, Loving & Davies, we have extensive experience in representing employees in every kind of dispute with an employer.  For plaintiffs in most types of litigation, we are able to arrange representation on a contingency fee basis.

 

Our representation of employees includes:

 

• Negotiating employment agreements and assisting in informally resolving employment disputes;

• Interpreting employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and policy and procedure manuals;

• Negotiating separation agreements;

• Prosecuting contract claims against employers in state and federal courts;

• Pursuing unpaid overtime awards under the Fair Labor Standards Act;

• Pursuing unpaid wage claims pursuant to state law;

• Representing state employees before the Oklahoma Merit Protection Commission;

• Representing clients in connection with sexual harassment and other forms of gender discrimination, race or age discrimination, discrimination based upon employee disabilities, Family and Medical Leave Act violations, and retaliation.

• Representing government employees in disputes involving Constitutional claims such as freedom of speech or freedom of association claims, due process concerns, Fourth Amendment search claims, as well as other state or local law claims such as the Oklahoma Whistleblower Act; the Open Meetings Act, and the Open Records Act.

We are happy to provide initial litigation consultation, free of charge.
