It’s not easy standing up to your employer. Not only is misconduct or discrimination difficult to prove, but it’s also scary to confront your boss or even your boss’s boss. Maybe you’re afraid of losing your job, worried about not looking like a “team player,” or simply not sure it’s worth the emotional energy to pursue a legal case. You don’t have to do it alone. Kira Fonteneau and Severin Roberts are committed to helping you fight workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and more.
You Deserve Respect and Fair Treatment at Work
Stand Up for Your Rights as an Employee
Overtime and Minimum Wage
A lot of employers think that simply calling an employee “salaried” is enough to avoid paying overtime, but that’s often not true. You have every right to demand the pay you deserve without being retaliated against through harassment or termination.
Wrongful Termination
Alabama law states that employers are generally free to terminate or demote an employee with or without just cause. There are, however, many exceptions to this practice—including illegal discrimination or in response to an employee’s complaint.
Family Medical Leave Act
The FMLA protects all workers’ rights to leave work for long enough to recover from giving birth, provide care to a loved one, or other similar circumstances. If you’ve been forced to work or fired while caring for your newborn or a loved one, we can help.
With 35 years of combined experience, Kira and Severin are committed to helping you fight the illegal actions of your employer.
Whether you’ve been wrongfully terminated, sexually harassed, or not given the pay you deserve, you have more than a lawyer—you have an advocate.
Our mission is to empower you to take a stand against injustice and to hold those who refuse to listen accountable for their actions.
When you work with us, you’re guaranteed regular communication—so you’re never in the dark. You’ll get honest feedback from our experienced team about your case’s strengths and weaknesses and sound legal judgment only years of experience can provide.

Our mission has been and continues to be to level the playing field for our clients. We work hard every day to make sure our clients’ voices are heard and those who violate their rights as employees are held accountable.
