Employment Law and Wrongful Termination

Bucks County Employment Law Attorney

For most people, having a good job that provides a reliable source of income is crucial to their well being and the security of their family. When that job disappears due to discrimination or wrongful termination, the consequences - both immediate and long-term - can be devastating.

At the law offices of Bruce Preissman, located in the Philadelphia suburb of Southampton, we are dedicated to serving people in southeastern Pennsylvania who may be victims of employment discrimination or wrongful termination. We are experienced in handling a wide variety of employment law cases including:

Employment Law matters such as the following:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Outlaws employment discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, and pregnancy.
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Protects people over the age of 40 from discrimination in hiring, promotion, and firing.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled people protected under the Act, and prohibits unlawful discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The ADA may even protect you if you are not disabled but your employer perceives you as having a disability.
• Retaliatory Termination / Whistle Blower Claims - Representation to employees subjected to adverse employment treatment for engaging in legally protected conduct.
• Wrongful Termination - Representation to employees fired in contravention of state or federal law, or in violation of an employment contract.
• Sexual Harassment - Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act.
• Constitutional Violations - Representation to employees fired for exercising their constitutionally protected rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of association.
• Unemployment Compensation - We represent clients during the Unemployment Compensation appeals process.
• Severance Packages - Severance packages can be complicated and confusing, talk to us for reliable advice and straight answers.
• Unpaid Wages and Commissions - Contact us for assistance in recovering unpaid wages and commissions promptly and efficiently.
• Non-Compete / Non-Solicitation Agreements - Contact us if you have been accused of violating a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement, or need help interpreting such a contract.
• Defamation (Libel / Slander) - If you have suffered harm as the result of untrue written or verbal statements, contact us today - we can help you seek justice and regain your reputation.
• Equal Pay Act. Requires equal pay for equal work for male and female employees.
• Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Entitles employees to 12 weeks unpaid leave annually for the birth or adoption of a child or for a serious health issue involving an immediate family member or themselves.
