Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation

J. Madison PLC is a Virginia-licensed employment law firm evaluating federal workplace claims across the United States, including for employees in Columbia, Missouri. We focus on federal statutes that protect workers from unlawful discrimination, retaliation, and wage violations, offering a clear path for employees to understand their rights and options.

Protecting Workplace Rights in Columbia

Columbia's diverse economy, from its prominent healthcare and education sectors to its growing service and logistics industries, means a wide range of federal employment issues can arise. Whether you face discrimination under Title VII or the ADA, or have concerns about your FMLA leave or overtime pay, our firm can evaluate your situation under federal law. We also assist military service members and veterans with USERRA claims.

USERRA & Military Service Protections

Missouri is home to a significant military presence, and many Columbia residents serve in the Guard or Reserves. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects service members from discrimination and ensures their reemployment rights. If your civilian job has been affected by your military service, J. Madison PLC can evaluate your USERRA claim.
