Most of my practice involves the law of the workplace.

    You have probably heard of Louisiana's "employment at will" doctrine.  This simply means that absent an employment contract, your employer can fire you for any or no reason at any time as long as it is not for an illegal reason.

    In Louisiana, it may be illegal to fire someone, among other things:

• for "blowing the whistle"
• for being over forty years old
• for being pregnant
• for complaining about discrimination
• for taking Family Medical Leave
• for being disabled
• on account of their age, race, gender, religion or national origin.

    As a legal practitioner in employment law, I can tell you that protecting your rights often depends on getting legal advice before the ax falls.

    That's why we're here.  We have normal business hours- Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
