Why Hire an Attorney?

Your employer has a team of people — from their corporate counsel to human resources staff — ensuring the company follows necessary procedures. In order to avoid claims of discrimination or unfair dismissal termination, some employers will minimize risk by consulting with legal and human resources departments before firing an employee. This gives the employer an advantage to terminate an employee without subjecting the company to wrongful termination lawsuits. An experienced lawyer can identify this unfair conduct and advocate for the employee's rights.

Our pre-termination counseling services benefit employees by providing opportunity to negotiate a mutually acceptable severance agreement. Ayesha Hamilton, Esq. will take detailed information from you regarding the facts and circumstances of your employment, the employer's discriminatory actions, and your damages to help you evaluate the claims that you may or may not have against your former employer.

If you anticipate being terminated or have been presented with a separation agreement or severance agreement as a part of a reduction in force, contact the Hamilton Law Firm, P.C., in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, for experienced legal advice throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING BEFORE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE.
