With more than 10 years experience, New Orleans employee rights lawyer, James Arruebarrena, has been helping employees obtain the fair and just compensation they deserve from employee harassment claims to retaliatory discharge (firing) claims. He is a dedicated advocate who fights for employee rights.
Based in New Orleans, our firm's practice is focused on assisting employees who have been injured mentally, emotionally, and financially due to an employer's wrongdoing. We handle all types of state and federal employment claims, including the following employee rights matters:
Retaliation and wrongful termination - including being fired for exercising your rights (such as filing for FMLA or workers' compensation benefits), filing a complaint for harassment or discrimination, or cooperating with a government or regulatory investigation.
Whistleblower and qui tam - including reporting illegal, harmful, or wrongful conduct to authorities (especially prevalent in environmental situations with oil and gas drilling and dumping toxic waste in rivers, the gulf, or other places where ground waters and the environment could be adversely affected), or reporting company rip-offs servicing government contracts.
Employee discrimination and wrongful discharge - including being passed up for promotion, denied employment, or fired because of a disability, your race, your gender, or a pregnancy. We have experience with state discrimination statutes and federal Title VII claims. In addition, we also handle wage and hour claims involving overtime violations under the Fair Standards Labor Act. We also handle discrimination cases related to disability accommodations.
Employee harassment - including, but not limited to, sexual harassment, such as uninvited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or inappropriate sexual remarks.
At will employee issues - addressing matters that at will employees in Louisiana often question and face.
