Federal Claims, Nationwide Evaluation

J. Madison PLC focuses on federal employment law, which applies to workers across the United States, including those in Wheeling. We evaluate claims under statutes like Title VII, the ADA, ADEA, FMLA, and FLSA. Our firm also handles federal whistleblower protections and USERRA rights for service members and veterans. This nationwide focus allows us to assist employees regardless of their specific state of residence.

Protecting Service Members' Civilian Jobs

The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) protects the job rights of military service members, including reservists and National Guard members in West Virginia. If you've faced discrimination, denial of reemployment, or retaliation due to your military service, our firm can help you understand your federal rights and build a comprehensive case file.

Wage-Hour and Overtime Protections

Federal wage and hour laws, primarily the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), govern minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor standards. Many employees in Wheeling's manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics sectors may encounter issues like unpaid overtime, misclassification, or off-the-clock work. We evaluate these federal wage claims, including potential DOL Wage and Hour Division complaints and FLSA collective actions.
