Areas of Practice
-
If you have been injured on the job, you have rights. Insurance companies will not advise you of these rights, so it helps to contact a lawyer as early as you can.
Contact our office today for a free consultation. All workers’ compensation cases are handled entirely on contingency. You never pay us directly, and if we do not secure any benefits for you, we do not get paid.
-
No employment matter is too big or small for S&D. We represent employees who have been discriminated or retaliation against in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the D.C. Human Rights Act, and other comparable statutes in surrounding jurisdictions.
We represent private and public sector clients before federal agencies, Inspectors General, the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of Special Counsel (OSC), and in state and federal court.
-
Nobody should be fired, expelled, or punished for expressing legitimate political opinions. But if happens often, and often in ways that are illegal or questionable. The First Amendment only protects against government actions, but many private actors including employers, owners of public spaces, and universities, wield immense power to stifle dissent. At S&D, we fight for free speech, not only as a formal right, but as a lived ideal.
-
Federal and state laws limit worker hours, establish minium wages, guarentee overtime pay, and offer other protections. Despite these legal protections, many employers will violate employee wage and hour rights if given the chance. S&D will get you the wages you’re owed.
