Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation
While based in Virginia, J. Madison PLC focuses on federal employment law, which applies across the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico. Our firm evaluates a range of federal claims, from workplace discrimination under Title VII and the ADA to wage-and-hour violations under the FLSA. We help employees in Carolina understand how federal statutes protect their rights, regardless of their specific industry or employer.
Protecting Service Members' Civilian Jobs
Carolina is home to many dedicated service members, veterans, and reservists. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects their civilian employment rights. If you've faced discrimination, denial of reemployment, or retaliation due to your military service, our firm can help you build a detailed case file to pursue your federal USERRA claims.
Wage Rights and Family Leave Protections
Federal law provides critical protections for wages and family leave. We evaluate claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for issues like unpaid overtime, minimum wage violations, or misclassification. Additionally, we assess Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) interference or retaliation claims, helping employees in Carolina navigate complex leave situations and return-to-work issues. Our goal is to help you understand your options under these vital federal statutes.
