REPRESENTING EMPLOYEES. Laws, such as the Maine Human Rights Act, the American's with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act and Title VII, give employees substantial protection from illegal behavior by their employers. If an employer harasses or discriminates against you, as an employee, or retaliates against you for asserting your rights, we can counsel you in understanding your rights under the law, prepare an actual complaint and represent you before the Maine Human Rights Commission, argue your case in alternative dispute resolution proceedings, or bring a lawsuit for equitable relief and compensation against your employer on your behalf in Maine’s Federal and state courts.
