Trusted Employee & Employment Law Attorneys

The best way to know if you need an employment attorney is to speak to one yourself. Contact Dowd & Dowd today for a free case evaluation to discuss the potential of filing a lawsuit against a current or previous employer. 

An employment lawyer can help you understand your rights as an employee and work with you to build a strong case against your employer or former employer, increasing the odds that you will get justice in court. 

Depending on the exact circumstances of your case, state and federal laws that may apply include: 

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
• Civil Rights Act
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

You can learn more about which potential state and federal employment laws apply during an in-depth, free initial consultation with the legal team at Dowd & Dowd.

Our first meeting is where we establish the foundations of a strong attorney-client relationship, based on trust and transparency. During this time, we get to learn more about you and your legal issues, so we can decide on the best course of action together. Expect unmatched legal acumen, passion for your case, and plenty of experience to lay the groundwork for a strong case. 

Dowd & Dowd operates on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees upfront. You only pay if we win. That means you can work with our experienced attorneys to focus on what’s important: building your case so that you have the strongest chance of securing the winning verdict and compensation you deserve.

Missouri law states that most employee & employment law claims must be filed within 2 years of the incident. There are also other special requirements, such as obtaining a Notice of Right to Sue from the Missouri Department of Labor. The time limitations can be demanding so it is vital that you seek legal representation immediately and provide all of the facts to your lawyer as soon as possible. Certain exceptions may apply depending on the specifics of your case. We must be informed of the facts of your case before providing legal advice related to any potential statute of limitations issues in your case.

Your employee or employment law claim will be based on factors like:

• The nature and scope of the workplace tort
• How much you suffered financially and emotionally from the incident
• How much the employer knew of the misconduct
• Whether the employer took any corrective actions when notified of the complaints
• Who and what, exactly, caused your damages
• Your exact jurisdiction
• How much insurance coverage the defendant has
