How We Help Employees

At Dugan Schlozman, we work directly with each client to understand their unique circumstances. Our attorneys offer honest guidance, vigorous advocacy, and a commitment to achieving meaningful results.

We handle cases involving:

Discrimination, including age, disability, gender, racial, and religious discrimination
Employer retaliation
Equal pay
Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)
Federal employees
Sexual harassment
Employment contracts
Wage and hour law
Whistleblowing
Wrongful termination of employment

In a successful case, you may be entitled to a range of legal remedies, depending on the nature of the violation. These remedies are intended to make you “whole” again by addressing the harm suffered and deterring future employer misconduct.

Potential remedies may include:

Reinstatement to a former position (if wrongfully terminated)
Back pay for lost wages and benefits due to illegal termination or retaliation
Front pay when reinstatement is not feasible (compensation intended to bridge the gap between the time of a court judgement and when you are expected to find comparable employment)
Compensatory damages for emotional distress, reputational harm, or inconvenience
Punitive damages in cases of especially egregious or malicious conduct
Attorney’s fees and legal costs, which may be awarded to a prevailing employee under many employment statutes
Policy changes or training to correct discriminatory practices within a workplace
