Florida Employment Law Attorney

Employers and employees are often times confronted with legal issues related to the workplace. Employees may face different types of discrimination and discriminatory practices, including wrongful termination, dealing with a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, on the job defamation, illegal manipulation of time by employers, and denial of leave and benefits.

Employment Law - Some of Our Practice Areas

  • Discrimination (age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, disability)
  • Harassment which includes creating a hostile work environment, as well as sexual harassment.
  • Defamation of character at the workplace, including internet defamation and "Revenge Porn"
  • Unfair labor practices (e.g. denial of wages, failure to pay wages and benefits, overtime, tampering with employee timesheets and records)
  • Violations of Family Medical Leave Act, Re-Employment Rights Act and Uniformed Services Employment

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment goes far beyond improper and unwanted sexual contact. It can include unwanted exposure to sexual advances, jokes, and conduct that creates an otherwise hostile work environment. Sexual harassment cases can be addressed by filing a case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and/or by bringing a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Harassment in General

Other types of harassment may include anger issues, improper teasing, or verbal threats.

Defamation of Character at the Workplace

This may include fellow colleague or employee improperly posting defamatory comments or nude pictures of an employee without the consent of the individual.

Unfair Labor Practices

An Employer and/or Management may fail to pay overtime, improperly deny wages that the employee has earned, fail to pay wages and benefits that the employee is entitled to, and tamper with employee timesheets and manipulate time records. There are various state and federal laws that will allow us to prosecute this conduct vigorously on the employee's behalf.

Violations of Family Medical Leave Act, Re-Employment Rights Act and Uniformed Services Employment

Employers have a duty to allow employees to take appropriate leave to deal with a spouse's pregnancy or death in the family, or to allow for military leave. We prosecute cases in these areas under federal and state laws.

"What can I say about this group? I was fortunate enough to have the owner, Mr. NeJame, representing me for my case and he made mountains move for me. This group is so well respected, in Florida, that I knew this was my only choice to sort out my situation. They never made promises they could not keep while assuring me that ultimately everything would work out. As promised everything did absolutely work out in my favor, which was a Godsend for me. This firm should never be overlooked as they are the best at what they do. God bless Mark NeJame, Lisa for always keeping in contact with me with updates, and the entire team at NeJame Law. They function as a well oiled machine and left no stone unturned in my defense. Thanks again guys!!!"

"I couldn't be happier with the representation I received from Molika and Delayne. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions clearly, and always made me feel like a priority. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we achieved a successful outcome in my car accident lawsuit. I highly recommend Molika and Delayne to anyone in need of an attorney — they genuinely care about their clients and will fight for the best possible result."

"THE MOST brilliant, and dedicated professionals I ever met… the BEST decision of my life (and should be yours too)! I have engaged in a very complex Civil matter with my employer a Celebration-based Cruise Line (a subsidiary of probably the largest entertainment and theme park conglomerate in the world) regarding age discrimination, an extremely hostile workplace, and many other legal matters related to the same. I was referred to NeJame Law by a long-time close friend, a brilliant Attorney "Of Counsel" to NeJame Law, Matthew R. Gross who I admire, trust, and respect. The Honorable Mark NeJame is widely known "to hate bullies" and I was up against some very nasty ones. I was very skeptical because of the size and influence of "the Rat"; however, Attorney Andrew C. Hill was not intimidated by them at all. Attorney Hill worked diligently day and night on my case, I have emails he would send for my review date and time stamped at 02:47 am, he literally worked "around the clock" on my case. He was thorough, prompt, and dedicated to my case and made me feel as though I was his most important client and was always available and accessible to me; even outside normal business hours via. his cell phone and email, Attorney Hill is a tremendous advocate and I cannot over-emphasize enough his total command of the Law – he outsmarted them at every turn. Also, part of the team was John Zielinski another super accomplished attorney whose command of the law left me speechless. I am not a celebrity – I am an everyday working man however I felt as if I had my own "dream team" of Attorneys. If I was a celebrity or multimillionaire the NeJame Law Firm would still be my FIRST and ONLY choice."

"I recently had to take care of a situation and Mark came highly recommended. I was not disappointed. Attorney Mark, Paralegal Lisa and Assistant Joanne were awesome. Good Listeners and Show Empathy - Mark listened to my issue with patience. His questions were on target. Mark and Lisa put themselves in my position. They fully understood my situation and my expectations. Only then Mark offered solutions and discussed best and worst outcomes upfront with a remedy even for the worst scenario. Humble - When Mark did not have a document he needed from me, he thought I did not send it to him but when I told him that I did indeed email him, he spent a few minutes searching for it and he found it. He immediately acknowledged that he made a mistake. He could have easily told me to resend the document. Respect - Lisa and Joanne always called me and checked my availability before they finalized meeting times with Mark. All conversations were professional and friendly. Efficiency - All paperwork and steps were done when they said they will be done. All accurate filings showing full knowledge of the court processes. Problem Solvers - My situation was resolved with the best possible outcome. Life is not perfect. Mark and his team are here to help us live our lives without burden. Thank you Mark, Lisa and Joanne."

"I received a call from Mr NeJame himself! Even after Ms DeLayne's explanation of the law yesterday, Mr NeJame, making no promises, told me he would look into the available information of the event, and evaluate it, to see if in fact, there's nothing they can't do. That to me spoke volume! It shows what they're made of, and why they have been in business 40+ years. I want take this opportunity, to THANK Mr NeJame, Ms DeLayne and the whole staff, for not giving up on my friend and for the caring attention."

"Nejame Law was a great office for my needs. My first visit to the office was amazing! I meet Mark Nejame and he introduced himself, he seemed like a really nice guy. The lady at the front desk had great customer service, and my wait time was not long. I worked closely with Jessica who was a part of Attorney Trey Flynn's team. Jessica was able to give me feedback and comments that helped me in my journey. She was easy to talk to and great with her follow-up. I would definitely give this office a 5-star rating and recommend it to anyone looking for a criminal attorney. They also have attorneys to meet any of your other legal needs such as personal injury, family, and real estate, so this place is a one-stop shop!"

I first contacted her and explained my case over the phone, subsequently upon meeting personally the following day I contracted her services for my representation. Throughout the entire process she worked expeditiously and demonstrated her knowledge, experience and professional demeanor, she made dealing with the court system hearings a straightforward process. Chelsea is an experienced attorney that provides great advice and representation."
