Miami FMLA Defense Lawyer

Violating federal employment laws can land your business in a lot of legal trouble, from government fines to a potential lawsuit filed by the affected employee. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal benefit for employees that protects their job and provides unpaid leave for the employee to tend to their own personal medical needs, to supplement any parental leave they need after having a baby, or to care for an ill loved one. If your business has been accused of violating FMLA regulations, it’s important to act fast. Our Miami, FL FMLA defense lawyer can help you respond to employee claims and defense your business against a lawsuit. Call Exhibit G Law Firm today for a professional consultation.

FMLA Defense Lawyer Miami, FL

The best way to avoid an FMLA lawsuit is to ensure that you and your key human resources employees understand federal requirements for businesses of your size. We review your employment policies and practices to ensure they’re compliant with state and federal laws and advise you of changes that may need to be made, minimizing the risk of violations and fines.

When an employee files an FMLA claim, we can help you respond appropriately to protect your position and maintain a strong business reputation. We gather information to determine the veracity of the complaint and begin building a case to protect your business interests. How you respond, and when, can have lasting impacts on the claim, especially if it ends up in court. Ideally, we are able to help you resolve the matter in mediation, guided negotiations between you and the filing employee; in some cases, the matter must be handled in arbitration. Our attorneys are comfortable in both alternative dispute resolution sessions and in the courtroom.

Our Miami FMLA defense lawyers represent you in court if we cannot resolve the FMLA complaint in any other manner. Your organization may be asked to pay damages to the complaining employee.
