How Our Employment and Professional License Defense Law Firm Can Help You

At the Law Firm of J.W. Stafford, LLC, we understand the difficult challenges you face when pursuing a claim against your employer. Before we do anything, your Maryland employment lawyer will evaluate your case and work with you to make sure you understand your options and the possible outcomes. We then walk you through every step of the legal process from start to finish to ensure you are comfortable and know exactly what is happening with your case. Employment cases are often complicated and require extensive knowledge of the various federal and Maryland state laws in order to prevail on your claim. Our firm handles cases involving the following statutes:

  • Maryland Anti-Discrimination Law
  • Maryland Wage and Hour Law
  • Family and Medical Leave Act
  • Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
  • Equal Pay Act of 1963
  • American with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964
  • Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967

The requirements of these laws are not always easy to understand and it can be extremely difficult for non-lawyers to successfully pursue a claim. Our Maryland employment lawyers understand the complexities of these statutes and how they apply to your case. Have a case? We can help you navigate the legal process to help you achieve a fair and equitable result.
