Types of Employment Cases We Handle in North Carolina
North Carolina employees are protected by comprehensive federal and state laws that prohibit various forms of workplace discrimination and unfair treatment. Here are a few of the types of employment cases we take.
Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination occurs when employers treat employees differently because of protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability status. This discrimination can manifest in hiring decisions, promotion opportunities, job assignments, compensation levels, or termination decisions.
Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment Claims
Sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims represent serious violations of workplace rights that can create unbearable working conditions. These situations may involve unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects your work performance or creates an intimidating environment.
Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination cases arise when employers fire employees in violation of employment contracts, public policy, or anti-discrimination laws. While North Carolina is an at-will employment state, employers cannot terminate workers for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or refusal to engage in illicit activities.
Our team works on many other employment cases as well. Please contact us whether you’re looking for a North Carolina overtime claims lawyer, legal support for an FMLA claim, or any other work-related dispute.
Building Strong Employment Law Cases
Successful employment law cases require comprehensive evidence demonstrating that illegal discrimination or retaliation occurred and caused measurable harm to your employment and financial situation. Building this evidence requires systematic documentation and strategic legal preparation.
Witness testimony from coworkers who observed discriminatory treatment or heard discriminatory comments provides crucial support for your claims. However, many potential witnesses fear retaliation from employers, making early legal intervention important to protect witness cooperation.
Economic damages calculations must account for lost wages, benefits, promotional opportunities, and career advancement that resulted from the employer’s illegal conduct. Non-economic damages for emotional distress, humiliation, and other intangible harms also represent important components of comprehensive recovery.

Protecting Yourself During Employment Disputes
Continue documenting all workplace interactions, especially those involving supervisors or HR personnel who may be engaged in discriminatory treatment. Save copies of performance evaluations, email communications, and any disciplinary actions to your personal devices or accounts, as employers may restrict access to company systems.
Report discrimination or harassment through proper company channels when policies exist, but understand that internal complaints may not always result in fair resolution. Keeping detailed records of your complaints and the company’s responses provides important evidence for potential legal claims.
Avoid discussing your situation extensively with coworkers, as these conversations may be reported to management and used against you. Instead, focus on performing your job duties professionally while working with our experienced North Carolina employment attorneys to protect your legal rights.
