At the Garner Firm, in addition to handling the ERISA employee benefits matters, we also handle other employment-related claims. That can be discrimination cases where someone has been discriminated against on the basis of their age or their sex, race, or national origin. Those can be cases that are filed in either state or federal court. We also handle other employment matters such as wage and hour class actions, ERISA cases, protecting the employment rights of pilots and military personnel, and also reviewing employment contracts or negotiating the terms of severance or separation agreements if someone’s been let go from their job. In addition to the employment-related matters, we also take on select mass tort and asbestos-related matters, as those are the types of cases that I spent the majority of my career working on prior to joining the Garner Firm in 2020. When an individual is having a problem with their employee benefits, whether it’s life insurance or disability and retirement benefits, or if they’re having a problem with an insurance contract that they purchased on their own, or a problem with their employer, whether they’ve been discriminated against, they have a problem getting paid the wages they’re owed, or they just need help with an employment contract, it’s really important that they reach out to an experienced attorney to give them guidance.
The Garner Firm, we’re here, we’re available. We’re ready to answer the questions when people call. Even if we can’t help somebody with their case, we’ll either direct them to somebody who can or we’ll try to point them in the right direction so that if it’s something they can handle on their own without the need for an attorney, they’re well-informed and have the tools to do so.
