Knoxville, Tennessee: Employment Law Attorney
Do you have questions about your legal rights as an employee — whether for a private employer or for a state or local government agency? Have you been fired or has your company announced layoffs? Do you worry about illegal discrimination or sexual harassment?
Knoxville attorney James R. LaFevor has more than 30 years' experience handling employment law cases on behalf of employees throughout middle and eastern Tennessee. A well-respected local lawyer, Mr. LaFevor has built a strong reputation for providing ethical and professional legal representation. Many of our clients come to our law firm via referrals from other local attorneys or court employees. If you have questions about employment law, contact us for a free consultation.
Getting practical legal advice regarding an employment law question can make the difference between losing your job and keeping it, or between receiving adequate or inadequate financial compensation if your employer has violated an employment law.
We are available to consult with employees of all types of companies regarding any of the common types of employment law–related questions:
- Wage and hour violations: Should your employer be paying you overtime? Is your boss not giving the meal and rest periods required by law?
- Discrimination: Have you been fired or demoted because of your race, national origin, religion, gender, disability or age? Are you facing sexual or racial harassment at work?
- Has a previous employer accused you of violating a confidentiality agreement or a noncompete agreement?
- Do you think you have been a victim of wrongful termination?
- Has your employer laid off workers without complying with the provisions of Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act?
