Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation

While J. Madison PLC is Virginia-licensed, we evaluate a broad range of federal employment, whistleblower, and wage-hour claims for employees across the country, including those in Covington. Our focus is on federal statutes that protect workers, regardless of their state of residence. We help you understand your rights under federal law and explore potential pathways for justice.

Protecting Service Members in Covington

Covington is home to many veterans, Guard members, and reservists who serve our nation while also holding civilian jobs. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects these individuals from discrimination and ensures their reemployment rights. If you've faced issues related to your military service in the workplace, our firm can evaluate your USERRA claim.

Wage & Hour Justice for Kentucky Workers

Many employees in Covington's manufacturing, logistics, and service industries rely on fair pay. Federal wage and hour laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), govern minimum wage, overtime pay, and proper classification. We evaluate claims involving unpaid overtime, misclassification, and other wage violations, including potential administrative complaints with the DOL Wage and Hour Division.
