Fighting for You in the Workplace
The workplace is often one of the most fertile habitats for unfair treatment and violations of your basic human rights.
If you have experienced employment violations, you should contact a lawyer immediately. At Akeel & Valentine PLC, we have a reputation for defending people like you against workplace violations. Serving Detroit, Michigan, our attorneys have tried employment law cases at the state and federal level. We know that unless you have good representation, the employer has the upper hand. We are here to help you level the playing field.
How We Can Help
Most of the employment problems we handle are nothing more than civil rights violations, discrimination, or just run-of-the-mill mistreatment.
We can handle all kinds of employment cases, but we focus on:
- Workplace Discrimination: When an employer or co-workers mistreat you or purposely create a hostile work environment because of your membership in a protected class — you may have a claim.
- Wrongful termination: When an employer has discharged you directly because of your race, gender, religion, age, or disability — you may have claim.
- Whistle-blower Protection: When you "blow the whistle" — contact the authorities regarding illegal workplace conduct — and the employer fires you, creates a hostile or dangerous work environment, or in any other way makes your work-life more difficult because of this whistle blowing — you may have a claim.
Even though the employer may haves the upper hand right now, we are here to level the playing field so you can get a fair shake. Know your rights.
One of the primary reasons we started this law firm was the gratifying experience of bringing big, oppressive organizations to justice for offenses against the smaller, less equipped parties. Especially in the context of employment law, it often seems like the employer has all the power, and the worker just has to take it. We are here to level the playing field.
