Labor & Employment Law

Protecting Workers' Rights

At Cascade Legal, we believe every worker deserves fair treatment, safe conditions, and proper compensation. When employers violate your rights, we fight back with aggressive, compassionate representation.

Our labor and employment attorneys have helped hundreds of workers recover unpaid wages, fight wrongful termination, and hold employers accountable for discrimination and harassment.

Wage & Hour Claims

Washington State has some of the strongest worker protections in the nation, including one of the highest minimum wages. We help workers recover:

Unpaid overtime wages
Minimum wage violations
Meal and rest break violations
Misclassification as independent contractors
Tip theft and pooling violations
Final paycheck violations

Workplace Discrimination

Federal and state laws protect workers from discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, and other protected characteristics. We handle cases involving:

Racial and ethnic discrimination
Sex and gender discrimination
Pregnancy discrimination
Disability discrimination and failure to accommodate
Age discrimination
Sexual harassment
Hostile work environment
Retaliation for reporting discrimination

Wrongful Termination

While Washington is an "at-will" employment state, there are many exceptions. You may have a wrongful termination claim if you were fired:

For reporting safety violations (whistleblower protection)
For filing a workers' compensation claim
For taking protected leave (FMLA, sick leave)
Due to discrimination based on protected characteristics
In violation of an employment contract
For refusing to engage in illegal activity

Workplace Safety

Every worker has the right to a safe workplace. We represent workers in cases involving:

OSHA violations and safety complaints
Unsafe working conditions
Retaliation for reporting safety concerns
Construction site accidents
Agricultural worker safety
