Employment Litigation

Having represented both public and private employees, as well as private employers, in matters involving virtually every aspect of labor law, the attorneys and staff of Goyette & Associates are able to provide skilled and aggressive representation either to bring claims for employees and/or to defend actions against employers. Employment litigation brought or defended by the firm includes claims for wrongful or constructive termination, discrimination based on race, gender, religion, age, or disability, retaliation, harassment, and violations of medical leave and/or pregnancy laws.

Individual employees in California who are subject to illegal withholding of wages and overtime (see the Wage & Hour Litigation practice page on this web site) or are subject to investigations that could affect their professional licenses can depend on the firm for competent and aggressive representation. Goyette & Associates attorneys are experienced and skilled at the administrative defense of licensed professionals, including the representation of Registered Nurses subject to investigations and/or enforcement actions by the Board of Registered Nursing.

In addition, Goyette & Associates provides consultation services to help avoid costly litigation, including providing employee manuals, policies, and training for businesses, as well as providing negotiation services for employees. The ongoing labor law issues that are constantly faced by employers and employees can be professionally addressed, analyzed and resolved with the help of Goyette & Associates attorneys and staff.
