We defend class and collective actions and counsel clients in government investigations.

Our lawyers defend clients against claims of wrongful discharge, discrimination, retaliation and related employment actions. We handle age, race, gender, sexual preference, disability, national origin and religion discrimination claims on behalf of employers. We also handle claims related to leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act as well as state laws. Our lawyers also counsel a variety of employers including both small businesses and large corporations in properly complying with applicable laws and managing personnel issues, including employee discipline, leave administration and employee discharge.
Montgomery Fetten attorneys are proactive and provide regular advice, create employment policies, draft employment handbooks, investigate workplace complaints, and train managers and employees on best workplace practices.
