Employment Attorney Cincinnati, Ohio
Federal and state laws give employees and job applicants in Ohio many rights to demand fair pay and equal treatment. Those same laws, like the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, also require employers to respect workers’ rights.
How Do I Know If I Need a Cincinnati Employment Attorney?
Too often, employers violate these laws. The result is that employees do not get paid for all the hours they work or don’t get paid overtime for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. They suffer from abuse, discrimination, and harassment. They get demoted or lose their jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with their own performance or the financial circumstances of the company. Some are even placed in physical danger from bullying and assaults.
When such things happen in southeast Ohio, it is time to consult with an employment lawyer in Cincinnati, Ohio. Speaking with a Cincinnati employment attorney who knows the law and has experience holding employers accountable for mistreating workers will clarify legal options and explain the steps that can be taken to receive back pay and other forms of compensation.
Enlisting the help of a lawyer who only represents employees also levels the playing field. Employers will have their own legal team whose job it is to defend the company and attempt to prevent the worker from receiving a settlement or winning a lawsuit.
Cincinnati employment attorneys with The Friedmann Firm advise and represent workers in cases involving the following illegal practices by employers:
- Discriminating against workers with disabilities;
- Discriminating against employees and job applicants based on race, age, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, military service and veteran status, or pregnancy;
- Committing or ignoring sexual harassment;
- Violating the Family and Medical Leave Act;
- Paying individual workers or groups of employees less than the minimum wage;
- Refusing to pay overtime to eligible employees;
- Violating the Equal Pay Act;
- Retaliating against employees who report or participate in investigation of violations of employment law;
- Creating a hostile work environment due to allowing or perpetuating discrimination, harassment, or retaliation; and

a weeks agoRachel and Dominick were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They got back to me quickly, whenever I had questions, which helped me stay calm during a very stressful time. Rachel was confident in her abilities and knowledge of the labor laws, and she was able to secure a settlement for me. If you ever find yourself in a situation that requires you take action against an employer, I would highly recommend the Friedman Firm. There's no one I would recommend more to be in your corner.

a month agoIf you are in need of an employment attorney, this is your sign to talk to Rachel and Jamie. Amazing!! They handled my case like the true professionals they are! They stuck to a strategy, even when it seemed like it wasn’t going our way and BAM! We get the outcome we wanted. I couldn’t be happier and I will always return to them if I EVER have an employment issue again. Thank you so much for helping me and my family!

5 months agoI needed an employment lawyer to work through a non compete. Pete at The Friedmann Firm was listed as one of the three best rated employment lawyers on a local website. I called him in the morning and later that night he was on the case and provided sound council through a very tense negotiation. Don’t take a chance with your career, reach out and get good council. Pete was very responsive every step of the way and delivered positive results. I highly recommend Pete and his Firm!

8 months agoRachel was top-notch from start to finish. She was responsible, professional, quick to respond to emails, texts or phone calls. She gives it to you straight, which I prefer! She thinks outside the box and is definitely the dog you want in the fight for you. She does not waste time and immediately dives right in to get the best results she can for you. I would highly recommend Rachel and her firm to anyone who wants to get the job done right, the first time, in a professional, compassionate and decisive manner.

3 months agoMy wife used this firm for a matter she had with her former employer. She could not have been more satisfied with their services. They were timely in responses, courteous, and very thoughtful. This was a difficult process for her and Pete made it so much easier by handling all of the details of her case.

Brandon Hoskins5 reviews
6 months agoI called them with some questions about my employment and Jamie was very helpful. I didn’t need an attorney to handle a case for me - only to help me navigate an issue I was having at work. She answered my questions and I felt she truly listened to me. I’d recommend this firm to anyone looking for an employment lawyer. Thank you!
