EMPLOYMENT LAW
Working hard to make a living can take a bad turn in many unfortunate ways such as on the job injury, layoff, termination or discrimination. The current COVID pandemic has made employment issues all the more daunting.
Facing any employment related case can be confusing and difficult. Do you go to court or an agency? Do you file with the state or federal or both? What documentation is needed? What proof is required for a successful case? Can you fight and win an unemployment denial?
Attorney Crist has almost three decades of experience advocating on behalf of employees. Early in her career, she worked in a large law firm employment and labor law group as an associate. Most of that early work was on the employer or defendant side of cases giving her a deep understanding of employer tactics such as paper trail building and use of disciplinary policy, in an attempt to build a defense against employment related charges.
