Practice Areas
Big Enough To Fight Anybody, But Small Enough To Care About Our Clients

Fight back. Discover how our employment law attorneys can help you.
Wrongful Termination
Unlawful or wrongful termination of employees has serious legal consequences. Employees have strong protections against employers who violate the law. Although Florida is an “at-will” state, your age, race, gender, or injury should not result in the loss of your job. If you believe you are a victim of unlawful termination, the Florida wrongful termination lawyers at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. are here to help.
Retaliation
What makes a strong workplace retaliation lawsuit is preserving and identifying evidence of retaliation in detailed documentation. This is where many people we have helped have fallen short in establishing a workplace retaliation case. Florida workplace retaliation lawyers understand the complexity involved with proving hostile workplace retaliation, and we will work closely through each step of the way. Keeping track of any change in how you are treated at work in great detail will help build a strong case.
Discrimination
Workplace discrimination is a serious matter that can cause emotional stress, loss of focus, and a drop in job performance. An employee may become so distressed that he or she may no longer wish to return to work, negatively affecting careers and creating a wide range of difficulties for individuals and families across the state. Our Florida employment discrimination lawyers encourage you to take action, stop workplace discrimination, and hold employers accountable.
Family Medical Leave Act
The employment & labor law attorneys at Wenzel Fenton Cabassa, P.A. are experienced in representing cases involving FMLA violations throughout the state of Florida. If you have been demoted, fired, or otherwise punished for taking FMLA leave, take action. Your employer has a lawyer, why don’t you?
Wage Disputes
Do you need wage dispute lawyers? Even though there are state and federal laws that mandate employers to pay all wages that are owed to an employee, it is relatively common for companies to not pay individuals in full. A wage lawyer understands the complexities of employment law and can fight for your rights and collect unpaid wages and benefits.
Unpaid Overtime
Florida employers find ways to cut costs, often at the expense of their hard-working employees. This focus on the bottom line may end up violating rights and short-changing money owed to an employee. Do you have unpaid overtime? Florida overtime attorneys fight for the rights of people just like you, holding employers accountable by working hard for justice.
Contracts & Agreements
We read the fine print. Employee-employer agreements and severance issues require legal expertise to ensure the rights of employees are being upheld. Our Florida employment contract attorneys will act as your legal advocates and guide you through the complexities of contract negotiation, contract interpretation, and litigation or enforcement. Common employment-based contracts include non- (“non-compete”) agreements, trade secret agreements, and non-solicitation agreements.
EEOC Representation
If you have been subject to discrimination in the workplace, EEOC mediation serves to protect your rights to fair, equal treatment. With an experienced EEOC attorney, you have a powerful legal professional throughout the process to achieve the best resolution possible.
Fair Credit Reporting Act
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulates much more than the “credit report” or credit score you hear so much about. The FCRA offers valuable protections for employees (or applicants) when their personal information is used to make employment decisions. Were you wrongfully denied employment due to a background check? You may be a victim of a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation.
COBRA
Did you lose your job? If your health insurance plan administrator neglected to give you the proper COBRA documents by the deadline specified by the Department of Labor (DOL), under federal law, ERISA, you may be able eligible to receive up to $110 for each day they failed to provide the documents.
