Examples of Compensation Issues

How An Attorney Can Help
Our lawyers employ multiple strategies to solve client problems related to compensation. First, we consult with the client to see whether the employee can resolve the matter alone. This is often the most cost-effective way to achieve the client's goal of receiving promised compensation.
Second, we intervene on behalf of the client with his or her employer. Sometimes employers don't realize that their efforts to reduce their costs may have negative consequences. Or they may just to be uneducated about the law. This strategy involves our attorneys writing letters, making phone calls or scheduling meetings with the employer.
Finally, we undertake legal action if this is the only way to solve the client's problem and get them their back pay and other deserved compensation. Since 1994, our law firm has been resolving employment issues in state and federal courts in western Pennsylvania. We are known as tough litigators with a thorough knowledge of employment law.
