Practice Areas
The attorneys at Pelton Graham LLC are experienced in employment law, whistleblower, and class actions. We also maintain an international network of trusted law firms to assist with other matters — arranged and paid for under our normal contingent-fee structure.
Harassment & Discrimination
It is illegal to base employment decisions on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (over 40), disability or genetic information.
Learn MoreWhistleblowing
Concerned about something at work that "just doesn't seem right"? The government offers significant financial awards to people who blow the whistle on illegal conduct.
Learn MorePersonal Injury
Over 40 million personal injuries requiring medical treatment occur in the US each year. If you or a loved one were injured, find out if you have a claim.
Learn MoreEmployment Agreements
Have you been "offered" an employment agreement with non-competition clauses or onerous terms? Pelton Graham helps you identify the issues and resolve them professionally.
Learn MoreClass Actions
When big companies hurt many people "just a little bit," class actions allow large-scale claims to be addressed. If an unfair employer practice or unsafe consumer product affects a group, a class action may be the remedy.
Learn MoreMass Layoffs
Volatile economic times lead to layoffs. Legality involves state and federal laws, unemployment rules, and the requirement that layoffs not be discriminatory or retaliatory.
Learn MorePrevailing Wage
Public-works employees in NY, NJ & CA are entitled to prevailing wage rates. Many construction flaggers and trades workers are systematically underpaid — we recover what you're owed.
