If Management is Taking Advantage of You, Get an Experienced Attorney For Your Side
Decatur is one of Atlanta’s most popular suburbs for good reason. It’s practically next door to Atlanta but has an identity of its own. The county seat of DeKalb County is a thriving locale that puts you close to the action, but far enough away to catch your breath. Truly, Everything is Greater in Decatur.
Decatur has something for everyone. You want incredible food? You don’t need to go any farther than Downtown Decatur, with Brick Store Pub, Twain’s Brewpub and Billiards, or Raging Burrito. In the mood for a show? Check out Eddie’s Attic. Downtown Decatur has everything you need for a night out.
Decatur is a great place to live and work, but being able to make a living here relies on you trusting that the managers and business owners employing you are operating above board, legally and morally. Employee misclassifications, wrongful termination, and overtime violations happen every day. Most people assume they have no other choice but to take what management says for gospel. That’s just not true.
The Law Office of Nicholas P. Martin has the experience you need in Decatur. You want someone who is ready to fight the good fight and have your back against people in power. Whatever the circumstances, whether you want to bring a wage and hour lawsuit against a company off Scott Boulevard or you feel you’re a victim of retaliatory practices in Oakhurst, Nicholas P. Martin is ready to take on your case and get you the settlement you deserve.

Are Labor Laws State or Federal?
The majority of labor laws we deal with in Georgia are federal and, when there is some deviation, the laws on the books in Georgia almost always benefit the employer over the employee. In Georgia, employers aren’t required to offer breaks or sick leave. Employers aren’t required to offer holidays off and they can fire you for nearly any reason. If it weren’t for the Fair Labor Standards Act, minimum wage workers in Georgia would still be getting paid $5.15 an hour.
The lion’s share of employee protection is provided by federal laws, so those will be our focus. Some examples include the Fair Labor Standards Act (which establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor standards), Family and Medical Leave Act (which grants eligible employees unpaid leave for specific family situations), The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which protects a worker from discrimination concerning race, color, religion, and national origin), and Americans with Disabilities Act (which provides protection from employment discrimination for qualified workers).

How Much is My Fair Labor Wage Case in Decatur Worth?
Every situation is different. Your retaliation claim might be worth more or less than someone else’s wage and hour claim. We can make some assumptions as to what you may be owed, however. If your lawsuit is successful, you may be entitled to wage recovery, financial damages, and job reinstatement. If you win, the FLSA also mandates your employer reimburse you for out-of-pocket legal expenses.
You may also be eligible for “liquidated damages,” which is double the amount of recovered overtime wages. (You didn’t just lose that money… you could have used that money to make your life easier… or invested it. Liquidated damages anticipates that.) For instance, if you secure $1,000 in back pay, you’d have an additional $1,000 coming your way. Check out our results and see for yourself.
