Protect Your Rights
If you feel you have been terminated, harassed or otherwise discriminated against in the workplace, the best thing to do is contact a lawyer. An experienced attorney can advise you how to proceed in a prudent manner.
Unfortunately, people often make critical mistakes that can harm their ability to recover for their employer’s wrongful treatment. Knowing how to carefully document and report misconduct is important. Knowing the consequences of a job resignation is also important. An attorney can inform you about the steps to take to protect your rights.
If you feel you are dealing with workplace discrimination, the best thing to do is contact an attorney immediately. If you have suffered workplace discrimination, we encourage you to contact Dixon Law Firm and speak with an experienced employment law attorney at our firm.
At Dixon Law Firm, our lawyers are dedicated to helping victims recover full compensation. All of our legal services are handled on a contingency fee basis.

Sexually Harassed Employee Receives $250,000
Our client came to us after being subjected to repeated and unwanted sexual comments and behavior in her workplace. One of only a few women working in a garbage collection facility, our client endured sexual comments and actions from her co-workers until she sought guidance from an employee assistance program about the harassing behaviors. She was thereafter terminated. Her employer maintained that she had violated the company’s attendance policy and that this justified her termination. We investigated her claim and determined that she was not, in fact, in violation of the company attendance policy and that her employer should be held accountable for the sexual harassment she suffered. We then negotiated a settlement with her former employer for $250,000.
Get Paid The Overtime Pay You Deserve
In the state of Washington, any employee who has been denied the overtime pay to which they are entitled can receive up to twice the amount they should have been paid. In a tough economy, more employers are likely to play games with their employees’ overtime pay.
If any of the following are currently happening to you, or have happened to you in the last two years, we may be able to help you get the money you deserve:
- You are working more than 40 hours a week or eight hours a day and don’t get overtime
- You aren’t a supervisor or manager and are required to work through lunches and scheduled breaks without pay
- You aren’t being paid for the time you spend doing “off-the-clock” work
Discrimination claims and wage and hour disputes are designed to restore balance to the workplace, because Seattle-area employees—of all kinds—deserve to be treated equally and fairly.
If you have been a victim of any sort of discrimination or harassment in the workplace, contact us immediately for a FREE CASE REVIEW.
We won’t get paid unless you get paid.
