Employment Law Attorney in Hollywood, Florida
Work disputes cut deep. Your paycheck, your reputation, and your career are all on the line at once. The Tarich Law Firm P.A. represents employees and employers in employment disputes across Hollywood, Broward County, and South Florida. Because we have sat on both sides of these cases, we know how the other side thinks.
Employment matters we handle
- Wrongful termination. Florida is an at-will state, but at-will does not mean anything goes. Firings based on discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblowing are illegal. - Discrimination and harassment. Claims under federal law and the Florida Civil Rights Act based on race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, religion, and national origin. - Unpaid wages and overtime. The Fair Labor Standards Act and Florida law require proper pay for every hour worked, including overtime. Misclassification of employees as exempt or as independent contractors is common, and it is illegal. - Retaliation. If you complained about illegal conduct, filed a claim, or participated in an investigation and were punished for it, that is a separate claim on top of the original one. - Non-compete and restrictive covenants. Florida enforces non-competes more aggressively than most states. Whether you are an employee being blocked from working or a business protecting legitimate interests, these cases require fast, precise handling. - Severance and separation agreements. What you sign at the end of a job can follow you for years. Have a lawyer read it first.
For employees
Deadlines in employment cases are short and unforgiving. Discrimination claims generally must be filed with the EEOC or the Florida Commission on Human Relations before you can sue, and the filing windows are measured in months, not years. If you believe you were treated illegally, talk to a lawyer before you quit, sign anything, or wait.
For employers
The cheapest employment lawsuit is the one that never gets filed. We advise businesses on handbooks, policies, hiring and firing procedures, and wage compliance, and we defend claims when they come. As a firm that serves as outside general counsel to businesses across South Florida, we understand that the legal answer has to work as a business answer too.
How we work
Every employment matter starts with a free 30-minute consultation. We will tell you plainly whether you have a claim or a defense worth pursuing, what the process looks like, and what it costs. Some matters are handled on contingency, others hourly, depending on the case. You will know which before we begin.
Call (305) 503-5095 or use our contact form. The Tarich Law Firm P.A., 1946 Tyler Street, Hollywood, FL 33020.
Evidence wins these cases
Employment disputes usually turn on documents: emails, texts, performance reviews, payroll records, and the timeline of who said what and when. Start keeping records now. Write down dates and names, save what you are legally allowed to keep, and bring everything to your consultation. The earlier we see the paper trail, the better we can protect you.
