Employment Discrimination Lawyers
EMPLOYMENT & LABOR LAW - North Carolina
Employment and labor laws define the rights and obligations of employees and employers, and govern a wide scope of issues in the workplace. Both state and federal statutes govern aspects of employment such as discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, and national origin—sexual harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, and hostile work environment.
Despite laws prohibiting discrimination, it remains the most common employment-related conflict.
Discrimination may occur in an employer’s:
- Advertising
- Recruiting
- Hiring
- Compensation
- Promotions
- Benefits
- Retirement policies
- Termination procedures
- Wage and hour irregularities
- Employment contracts
- Severance agreements
- Civil rights
When you suspect your rights in the workplace are being violated, you may be able to discuss your concerns with your employer and work out an equitable solution. Generally, however, the most prudent course of action is to obtain legal advice and guidance at the outset. An attorney can answer your questions, evaluate the circumstances, and explain the law as it relates to your situation. The sooner you seek legal help, the greater advantage your attorney will have in preparing a case, and the better the chances of resolving the problem at hand.

What Clients Say About Winston-Salem Trial Lawyer Ervin Brown.
“When my previous employer sued me and my new employer over an alleged violation of a non-compete agreement, I hired Ervin Brown to defend me. It was immediately evident that Ervin had extensive experience dealing with this type of issue. He took immediate action to respond to their claim. Ervin's assertiveness and attention to detail proved very beneficial. The suit was resolved in my favor, and my new employer and I are most thankful. I would definitely utilize Ervin's services again, and would highly recommend him to others seeking sound, experienced legal representation.”

"My legal cause of action started with a complex personal question about employment contract law entwined in a large business bankruptcy case. If my claim had merit, I recognized that the opposing forces would be formidable and would not come to the table willingly.
I believed that I needed a talented tenacious litigator. B. Ervin Brown came up repeatedly as a lawyer possessing those qualities. Since my claim involved issues of specialized areas of business bankruptcy and employment contract law, he was able to reach out to his extensive and deep legal network of associates to find the expertise pertinent to my case. That specialized knowledge validated my claim.
After two plus years of state and federal suits and counter-suits, arbitration and summary judgment issues, we achieved victory.
B. Ervin Brown demonstrated the "true grit" and legal acumen needed to prevail in today's increasingly complex legal environment.”
