Empowering Wronged Employees
Protecting Your Rights In The Workplace
For many people, experiencing workplace discrimination and inequality starts out as an annoyance, and in many cases, simply becomes an accepted part of the job. Unfortunately, many working Iowans don’t realize that they have legal protections against these types of workplace injustices.
At the forefront of our practice is an emphasis on arming clients with the knowledge, resources and legal advocacy needed to hold employers and other employees accountable for their actions, or in some instances, inaction when putting a stop to harassment and discrimination.





"Stuart is a true professional. He stays in close communication, gives succinct and accurate advice, and is someone you would be proud to have representing you. Highly recommended."
