At Boston Avenue Law PLLC, we represent employees in employment-law matters in Tulsa and surrounding Oklahoma communities. We review the circumstances behind workplace disputes, advise clients about employment agreements, and help employees determine how to protect their interests when employment relationships become difficult.

We Help Employees Address Workplace Disputes

When something goes wrong at work, it may not be immediately clear whether you have a legal claim or how you should respond. We can review what happened, examine relevant documents and communications, and help you understand the options available to you.

Our employment lawyers assist employees with matters involving discrimination, retaliation, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, employment agreements, and other workplace disputes. We look at the circumstances surrounding the problem rather than making assumptions based on a single event.

When deadlines or administrative requirements apply to a potential claim, we can also help you understand the steps you may need to take to preserve your rights.

We Represent Employees Facing Discrimination and Retaliation

If you believe an employer treated you unlawfully because of a protected characteristic or retaliated against you for protected activity, we can evaluate the circumstances surrounding that conduct.

We may review emails, messages, employment records, workplace policies, complaints, disciplinary history, performance documentation, and the employer's explanation for its actions. We can then assess the available evidence and help you determine whether further action may be appropriate.

Employment discrimination claims can also involve filing requirements and deadlines. We can identify the laws and procedures that may apply to your circumstances and help you understand the process for pursuing a claim.

We Help With Sexual Harassment and Wrongful Termination Claims

Workplace harassment and termination disputes can involve questions about what happened, why an employer acted, and whether the conduct violated applicable law.

Our employment law attorneys can review allegations of sexual harassment, the employer's response to complaints, and any employment actions that followed. If you believe you experienced retaliation after reporting workplace conduct, we can evaluate that issue as part of the matter.

We also review wrongful termination concerns. We can examine the events leading to your dismissal, relevant employment records and policies, and the reason provided by your employer to determine whether the circumstances may support a legal claim.

We Review Employment Contracts Before Problems Arise

You do not have to wait for a dispute before seeking legal advice. We can review an employment agreement before you sign it and explain how its provisions may affect your rights and obligations.

Our firm assists clients with employment contracts, including agreements containing restrictions or obligations that may continue after employment ends. We can identify provisions that warrant closer attention, explain their practical effects, and discuss any concerns before you agree to the terms.

Having an agreement reviewed before signing can also give you an opportunity to raise questions or negotiate provisions before you agree to the terms.

We Advise Clients About Restrictive Employment Agreements

Non-compete, non-solicit, and non-disclosure agreements can affect what you are permitted to do during or after employment. We can review these agreements and help you understand the restrictions they impose.

If you are considering a new job, preparing to leave your current employer, or have received a demand alleging that you violated an agreement, we can evaluate the relevant provisions and advise you about your options.

We also assist employees with disputes involving these restrictions when a current or former employer challenges what an agreement permits or prohibits.

We Review Severance, Release, and Settlement Agreements

When an employer offers severance or asks you to sign a release, the document may affect more than the amount of money you receive.

We can review severance, release, and settlement agreements before you sign them. We can explain the obligations you would accept, the claims or rights you may be releasing, and other provisions that could affect you after your employment ends.

If there are terms you want changed, we can also help you evaluate whether negotiation is appropriate before you make a decision.
