Employment Counseling

 
 

Over time, Goetz & Eckland has assisted employees, independent contractors and salespeople with a myriad of issues that arise in the employment context.  We have developed a niche in negotiating severance agreements.  And we routinely address problems with various types of discrimination, including race, gender, sex, disability and age discrimination.  Dealing with wrongful termination, breach of contract, non-competes and whistleblower claims is all part of the service our firm can provide.

If you need help with your employment situation, we are a phone call away.
