End of Employment, Severance Package Negotiation, and Unemployment Appeals

Washington State’s Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) and related remedial laws have teeth, and they are liberally construed in favor of employees. These laws share a strong, explicitly stated desire to protect workers from abuse, including retaliation for exercising protected rights.

End of Employment: If you feel you have experienced discrimination, retaliation, or other improper treatment, there may be a remedy. Maybe it’s time to get on down the road, time to move on. Maybe your employer wants you gone as much as you would like to oblige them. If so, how do you exit with the least damage and best path forward? Maybe it’s time to consider negotiating an exit strategy.

Severance Package Negotiation: Have you received a severance package offer that asks you to give up lots of rights in exchange for some cash? We’d be glad to review those documents, advise of your options, and possibly negotiate for you.

Unemployment Appeals: During the pandemic I handled over 100 of these cases. There’s always a lot at stake for the worker, and not much time to get ready. Our goal is to demystify the process for you and give you a fighting chance before an Administrative Law Judge.
