Employment Lawyer in Harrison County, West Virginia
Confidential Employment Counsel from a Firm Representing Workers Since 2006
Workplace problems rarely announce themselves cleanly. A pattern of unfair treatment, a sudden termination, a supervisor’s repeated comments, a missing paycheck adjustment: these situations can leave you unsure whether you have a legal claim or simply a bad situation. We’ve represented employees across West Virginia since 2006, and we understand how hard it is to know where to start. Our role is to listen, assess what happened, and help you understand your options.
At Bailess Law Firm PLLC, we represent Harrison County employees in sensitive workplace disputes. We approach every case with discretion and without judgment.
If something at work has crossed a line, don’t wait to get answers. Call us at (304) 841-0037 to set up a confidential consultation.
Employment-Law Matters We Handle
Employment disputes can arise at any stage of the working relationship, from hiring and promotion decisions to discipline, termination, and compensation. The legal issues involved are often interconnected but legally distinct. We handle a wide range of employee-side matters:
- Workplace Sexual Harassment and Retaliation: We represent employees who have experienced unwanted conduct of a sexual nature at work, as well as those who faced retaliation after reporting it or participating in an investigation.
- Employment Discrimination: We handle claims involving pregnancy, race, age, disability, and LGBTQ discrimination. Relevant conduct can include decisions about hiring, pay, promotion, scheduling, discipline, or termination when protected characteristics play a role.
- Wrongful Termination: West Virginia is an at-will employment state, but that doesn’t mean every termination is lawful. When a firing violates an applicable statute or established exception, or follows conduct connected to a protected activity, a legal claim may exist.
- Wage and Hour Disputes: We represent employees in disputes involving unpaid overtime, misclassification, and other compensation-related concerns.
- Family and Medical Leave Act Violations: Employees who were denied leave they were entitled to, or who faced adverse action after taking leave, may have claims under federal law.
- Whistleblower and Patient Safety Act Matters: We represent employees who reported workplace violations or patient safety concerns and faced negative consequences as a result.
- Employment Contract Review and Negotiation: We work with employees on contract terms, including non-compete provisions and severance agreements.
