Employment Law for Employers & Management

Employers today need practical solutions to everyday employment problems. Numerous federal and state laws — in a constant flux of change — affect every business, large and small; therefore employers must tread very carefully and understand the legal implications of their actions.

At Faulkner Law Offices, we offer our management and employer clients the knowledge and experience of a large firm while offering the cost-efficient and personal services of a boutique law office. Employment law is our focus, and we possess two unique benefits:

1. Decades of experience advising hundreds of clients in all employment-related legal situations.
2. Representation of both parties — individual employees as well as employers,
   which 360 degree perspective has allowed us to have insight into both sides, helping us to build a strategic defense for you.
