Firm Information
Overview
Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight, LLP, represents employees in Washington, D.C., who are confronting workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other employment-related violations. We help clients understand their rights and pursue legal remedies when workplace conduct has affected their careers, income or professional lives.
Our employment law practice includes discrimination claims involving age, gender, race, pregnancy, religion and national origin. We also represent individuals who have experienced discrimination based on sexual orientation. For those facing sexual harassment, we assess the circumstances carefully and help clients understand the legal protections that may apply.
Wrongful termination and retaliation can create significant challenges for employees who believe they were treated unlawfully. We examine the circumstances surrounding an employment decision and identify potential legal issues. Our attorneys also handle wage and hour disputes involving compensation and other workplace pay concerns.
Whistleblower and qui tam matters are another important part of our practice. Employees who report suspected misconduct may face difficult professional circumstances. We help clients understand the legal framework surrounding whistleblower claims and work to protect their interests throughout the process.
Our Washington, D.C., office works alongside locations in New York, Tennessee and California. Having offices in multiple regions allows us to serve clients across the country while maintaining a concentrated employment law practice.
When workplace conduct raises concerns about discrimination, retaliation, harassment, compensation or termination, we can help you understand the issues involved. Contact our team to discuss your circumstances and potential legal options.
