WHAT WE ARE EXPERTS AT

Legal Practice Areas

The law firm of Mark J. Berkowitz, P.A. in Fort Lauderdale provides professional guidance an counseling in a wide variety
of labor and employment law practice areas. We offer legal and practical advice in the following subject areas:

Age
Discrimination

According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his/her race in hiring, firing, discipline, distribution of benefits, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other condition of employment.

Sexual
Harassment

It’s your right as an employee to stop sexual harassment. Any behavior that makes you feel uneasy can create an intimidating, hostile work environment, thus sexual harassment. Our firm handles all types of Title VII employment discrimination claims.

Gender
Discrimination

Gender discrimination is the action of treating someone unfavorably based on the sex of the individual. Discrimination is often shown by conduct and statements such as the denial of a job, wrongful termination of employment, or a change in the terms or conditions of employment.

Wrongful
Discharge

Wrongful or unlawful termination of employees has serious legal consequences. Employees have strong protections against employers who violate the law.

Religious Discrimination

Religious freedom is a basic right in America. Your employer does not have the right to discriminate against you because of your religion. Though this sounds simple, the law protecting your religious freedom is much broader than you might think.

Employment
Contracts

Employee-employer agreements and severance issues require legal expertise that THE labor lawyer Fort Lauderdale ensures the rights of employees are being upheld. An employment contract lawyer can help you understand employment laws and will fight to obtain compensation when employers violate workplace contracts or agreements.

Representation of federal employees

Federal workers also are protected from retaliation for reporting discrimination, and for reporting waste, fraud, and abuse. Thanks to these protections, federal employees who have been treated unfairly can get their careers back on track and ensure that the workplace remains focused on the real mission of public service.

Long term disability cases & retaliation claims

If you develop a long-term disability, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Did you know two-thirds of SSDI claims applications are initially rejected? If this sounds familiar, a Florida long-term disability benefits lawyer may be able to help get assistance for you and your family.
