In the U.S., many of us identify ourselves through our jobs, and employment is often a crucial part of life. The Law Office of Peter L. Fels, P.C. is focused on helping individual employees understand their rights, and on advocating for those who have had problems with their employment.

Examples of employment issues Peter handles are:

• unpaid wages and overtime,
• discrimination
• harassment and hostile environment
• government employment matters.

Peter does not handle worker's compensation claims.

Each case is unique, and small details can change the outcome of any situation. Because of this, Peter feels that a face to face discussion is the best way to understand your individual concerns, and to help you find a solution for your problem. Because Peter wants to be able to give you accurate advice, he does not answer questions over the telephone or by email. The answer to what you think is a simple question often depends on the full history of the situation.

If you would like to speak to Peter about an employment issue, contact us to set up an Initial Consultation appointment.

If, however, you are unable to come in to the office, you can make an appointment for a telephone consultation.

For more information about your rights as an employee, or if you are unable to afford a consultation and wish to find an alternative, see our other resources section.

Union Workers:
If you are covered by a union contract, it is important to contact your union representative or otherwise find out if there is a deadline for filing a grievance. This is important because most union contracts require a written grievance to be filed within a very short time, and if you wait, it may be too late.
