A Firm Voice in Your Employment Law Representation

No! At the Ulanowicz Firm, LLC it will never cost you anything to pick up the phone and discuss your potential employment law matter with us. If we believe you have provided enough facts to support a case, we will schedule a follow-up consultation in further detail either in-person or virtually (at your own choice) where we will explain the litigation process to you and put together a plan of action. Most of our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning we will only collect a fee if we are able to recover a settlement or monetary judgment on your behalf.

If you have a contract, potential contract or other legal document that you want to have reviewed in detail and be appraised of your rights under it, we offer contract review services for the low, flat rate fee of $300 (which includes all preparation work as well as the review session itself). We can discuss setting up a thorough contract review session after your free, no-cost initial consultation.

The Ulanowicz Firm, LLC only represents employees in litigation and pre-litigation matters. While there are other employment law firms that do represent both employees and employers, we believe this can create unnecessary conflicts of interest and have instead decided to focus on the one area where we know we have the requisite experience: representing the exclusive interests of employees in disputes they have against their employers or former employers.

Please note that while we only represent employees in actual litigation cases, we do offer our contract review services for both employees and employers alike. As an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, making sure an employer’s contracts and legal documents conform to all legal standards can potentially save both employers and employees countless time and money that would otherwise be spent in the courtroom.

The Ulanowicz Firm, LLC represents employees in cases filed against their employers/ former employers under the Florida Civil Rights Act alleging harassment and/or discrimination on the basis of their sex, race, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin and other protected categories. We also handle cases alleging wrongful termination and retaliation based on these categories, as well as civil tort actions such as assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress where there has been repeated and unwanted physical contact in the workplace. Additionally, we represent employees in other employment related disputes such as whistleblower retaliation, worker’s compensation retaliation, breach of contract, and unpaid wages and benefits. Most of these cases can be handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only are paid a percentage-based fee if we are able to recover on your behalf.

            We also handle defenses for employees against complaints filed by former employers alleging breaches of a non-compete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or other type of restrictive covenant. Because of the complex nature of these defense cases, our representation may involve a retainer and/or hourly fee. We will be more than happy to discuss the details of what to expect in these types of cases in our free, no-obligation initial consultation.

            In addition to litigation cases, we also offer contract reviews for both employees and employers alike. If you have an existing employment contract, potential employment contract, proposed severance agreement, employee handbook or any other legal document that you would like to have reviewed, we will be more than to go over it in detail and explain what rights and obligations exist under the agreement and what strategy you might have as it relates to any further possible negotiations. These contract review sessions come at the low, flat rate of $300 and include all preparation work as well as the session itself.
