Practice Areas The Right Lawyer for Your Employment Case

Summerlin Law is a South Carolina employment law firm with one focus: fighting for employees. I don’t represent businesses. I represent workers — the people going to a job every day trying to earn a living, who’ve had that upended by an employer who broke the law.

As a Greenville native, I’ve built my practice around the people I grew up with — the coworkers, neighbors, and friends who make up the South Carolina workforce. When an employer discriminates, harasses, retaliates, or shorts you on pay, I know exactly how to hold them accountable, whether that means a hard-nosed negotiation or a jury trial.

I represent employees across South Carolina in matters including:

Sexual Harassment & Discrimination
Race, Age, Religious & Pregnancy Discrimination
ADA Disability Violations
FMLA Violations
Unpaid Wages & Overtime Claims
Non-Compete Agreements
Severance Agreement Review & Negotiation

Racial Harassment

Federal and state laws prohibit employers from treating employees differently because of their race or subjecting them to a racial hostile work environment. If you have experienced unequal treatment, harassment, discipline, or termination based on race, Jeremy Summerlin can evaluate your case and explain your legal options.

Disability Discrimination (ADA Violations)

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities in many situations. If your employer refused accommodations, discriminated against you because of a disability, or failed to engage in the interactive process, you may have legal claims.

Employees who are age 40 or older are protected from discrimination based on age. Summerlin Law represents workers who have experienced age-based harassment, unfair discipline, demotions, layoffs, or termination.

Employers generally must accommodate an employee’s sincerely held religious beliefs unless doing so would create an undue hardship. If you have been denied a reasonable accommodation or treated unfairly because of your religion, Summerlin Law can help you understand your rights.

Pregnant employees are protected from discrimination in hiring, promotion, leave, and other employment decisions. If your employer treated you differently because of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, you may be entitled to legal protection.
