Defending your rights in employment and criminal law matters

Our firm provides a variety of superior services. As a Honolulu employment attorney, some of the areas that we thrive in handling include:

-Wrongful termination. Employees who have been wrongfully terminated are often hesitant to sue their employers, particularly when their employers are large corporations. Having us on your side levels the playing field to obtain the justice you deserve.

-Discrimination. Employment should be based upon your skills, knowledge and experience, not on arbitrary characteristics that do not affect your ability to perform your job. Whether it is race, gender, age or some other form of discrimination, we are prepared to assist you.

-Whistleblower. We empower and safeguard individuals who have discovered a fraudulent practice and who are committed to stopping it. Whistleblowers of large entities, including the government, need a tenacious advocate on their side. We have experience assisting individuals who have reported hazardous conditions, ethical violations and other unlawful conduct of their employer.

-Union free speech. If your union has hampered your right to free speech under the First Amendment, let us assist you in being heard. This includes your right to express your views through written material, picketing or public demonstrations.

-Union labor practices. You have a right to join a union or labor organization and your employer is prohibited from placing you on a "blacklist." However, labor unions can also use coercive, strong-arm tactics, and we are here to help you fight back against unfair union labor practices.

-General employment matters. Whether your legal dispute involves slander, defamation, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations, unpaid breaks or sexual harassment, we have a complete understanding of Hawaii state labor laws and what it takes to assist you in your employment law matters.
