t is always best to hire an attorney in serious legal matters. In employment law cases, fighting the case alone almost guarantees that you will lose. Your employer likely has an attorney on retainer and will use that attorney’s services to avoid being held responsible. Wage theft, discrimination, and wrongful termination situations are extremely serious and could cost them a significant amount of money. What’s more, their reputation could be tarnished, and they could face severe consequences if found guilty. This means that they will likely do everything in their power to avoid losing.
