Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation

J. Madison PLC focuses on federal employment law, which applies to workers in Jacksonville and across the United States. We evaluate claims under statutes like Title VII, the ADA, ADEA, FMLA, and USERRA, as well as federal whistleblower and wage-hour laws. Our approach allows us to assess your situation regardless of your specific location within Florida or beyond, leveraging federal jurisdiction.

Protecting Jacksonville's Military & Veterans

Jacksonville is home to a significant military presence, including Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport. Service members and veterans often face unique challenges in civilian employment. We evaluate claims under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), protecting against discrimination and ensuring reemployment rights for those who serve our nation.

Wage-Hour & Whistleblower Protections

From the Port of Jacksonville's logistics sector to the city's growing healthcare and finance industries, employees may encounter issues like unpaid overtime, misclassification, or retaliation for reporting concerns. We evaluate federal wage-hour claims under the FLSA and whistleblower protections, including those administered by OSHA, such as ACA § 1558 for healthcare workers. Understanding these federal pathways is crucial for protecting your rights.
