We evaluate your case, gather medical records, review workplace documentation, and determine the best strategy.
We handle all communications and negotiations to protect you from lowball offers or retaliation.
If negotiations fail, we are ready to pursue your case through the proper legal channels.
Our goal is to secure the full compensation and benefits you deserve under Missouri and Illinois law.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference. A labor lawyer typically focuses on issues involving unions, collective bargaining agreements, and disputes between employers and labor unions.

Beyond financial recovery, legal action can also hold employers accountable and help prevent similar mistreatment in the future. Our attorneys review each case carefully to provide honest legal advice about whether litigation is the best path forward.
