Employment Law: Employee Representation

“People come to me when they feel their job is a risk. They need their job to pay their bills and to take care of their family. You can see the fear and worry in their eyes. It’s heartbreaking. All they want is to do an honest day’s work for fair wages and to be treated fairly. That’s not a big ask!”
