Personal. Compassionate. Fearless.

Employment Law Attorney in Berks County

If you’re being mistreated at work, denied pay, or punished for speaking up, an employment law attorney in Berks County can help you understand your options. However, it’s crucial to reach out as soon as you believe something is legally wrong, not after HR has already closed the door on your complaint.

At Mansour Law, our employment law attorney works with you to protect your legal rights, provide guidance early, prevent costly mistakes, and strengthen your position whether you file internally or take legal action.

Common Employment Law Cases We Work On

Our Berks County employment law lawyer at Mansour Law routinely represents workers who have suffered the following problems at work:

Retaliation

Retaliation happens when workers are punished for reporting misconduct or requesting accommodations. A worker may request modified duties for a medical condition and then suddenly face unfair write-ups. Retaliation cases often hinge on timing and inconsistent employer explanations.

Fortunately, Pennsylvania law provides protections for workers who face retaliation. In one of our cases, attorney William P. Mansour made an employer pay $48,000 for demoting (instead of providing a reasonable accommodation) a disabled worker who requested a workplace accommodation.

Harassment

Harassment includes unwelcome sexual conduct, hostile behavior, or comments that create an unhealthy workplace. Manufacturing settings and shift-based jobs often have power imbalances that discourage workers from reporting issues. Our Berks County employment law attorney can help by documenting what happened, when it happened, and who was involved.

Wrongful Termination

Even in an at-will state like Pennsylvania, illegal motives can form the basis of a wrongful termination claim. A worker dismissed days after reporting harassment or discrimination may have a viable case based on the specific circumstances of the incident.

Wage Violations

These cases involve unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, or misclassification as an independent contractor. Workers in warehouses and factories around Reading typically face timekeeping practices that reduce their pay.

Discrimination

Discrimination occurs when employers rely on factors such as age, race, gender, disability, or religion when making decisions. For instance, an older employee might watch younger workers receive all the promotions despite equal or better performance. This is age discrimination, which violates state and federal laws.

How Our Firm Helps You Build a Strong Case

At Mansour Law, our legal team can serve you by:

  • Reviewing time records, policy manuals, and internal communications.
  • Interviewing coworkers quietly and strategically.
  • Guiding you through EEOC or PHRC filings.
  • Calculating the full value of your lost earnings and benefits. For instance, if you were fired after reporting discrimination, you can recover compensation for months of lost income and emotional distress tied to the ordeal.
  • Identifying inconsistencies in your employer’s explanations.
  • Preparing your case with potential litigation in mind.

Your employer likely has legal counsel advising them from the moment a complaint is filed. You deserve the same strategic support from our attorney, William P. Mansour.
