Greenville’s Lawyer for Employment Law
Jeremy Summerlin understands that employees often feel underrepresented in modern labor laws. Employment laws are written by employers and for employers, rooted in the medieval concept of “master and servant.” But South Carolina does offer some legal protections for workers. Federal law provides even more protections. If you have a legal dispute with an employer, you need an experienced employment lawyer on your side to do the research, know the legal remedies, and fight for your case – without wasting time or money.
South Carolina employment lawyer Jeremy Summerlin at the Summerlin Law Firm represents employees in a variety of employment matters, including discrimination and harassment based on age, race, sex, national origin, religion, and disability; violations of your Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) rights; wrongful termination; whistleblower retaliation; negotiation of severance agreements and employment contracts; and unpaid wages.
