At Lebau & Neuworth, we know that workplace challenges can be overwhelming—especially when your career, livelihood, and reputation are at stake. That’s why our Baltimore-based employment lawyers offer dedicated Employment Counseling and Legal Assessment services to help employees across Maryland and Washington, DC understand their rights and make informed choices about their next steps.
Our team has decades of experience guiding employees at every level, from entry-level workers to senior executives, through the complexities of workplace disputes, job transitions, and employment law issues. Whether you are navigating unfair treatment at work or weighing your options after a termination, our attorneys provide clear, practical advice tailored to your situation.
What Employment Counseling Can Help With
Our counseling and assessment services are designed to give employees the knowledge and confidence they need when facing workplace difficulties. We help employees explore their rights, identify potential risks, and take practical steps toward resolving issues.
We frequently advise clients on:
-
Responding to unfair discipline, poor evaluations, or written warnings
-
Understanding workplace rights under Maryland, DC, and federal law
-
Addressing harassment, discrimination, or retaliation concerns
-
Evaluating separation, resignation, or termination situations
-
Reviewing severance packages and benefits offers
-
Exploring whether to negotiate directly, with support, or through legal representation
By talking through these matters with an experienced employment lawyer, you gain the perspective needed to move forward strategically—whether that means direct resolution, negotiation, or, in some cases, preparing for legal action.
Guidance During Workplace Conflicts
Sometimes employees simply need advice on how to manage a tense or unfair situation without immediately escalating to litigation. Our attorneys regularly coach clients on strategies to protect themselves while preserving professionalism at work.
We can help you:
-
Draft thoughtful responses to disciplinary actions
-
Prepare for performance reviews or meetings with management
-
Document ongoing workplace problems
-
Explore informal ways to resolve disputes before they worsen
This kind of proactive support can prevent small problems from growing into major disputes, and it often gives employees the tools they need to stand their ground while maintaining control of the situation.
Assessing Termination and Job Transition Matters
Being terminated—or pressured to resign—can raise serious questions about your rights and future options. At Lebau & Neuworth, we carefully review the circumstances of your job separation to evaluate whether your employer acted lawfully and whether you may have valid claims.
Our lawyers provide straightforward assessments so you can make informed choices about next steps. We assist employees with:
-
Reviewing severance agreements to ensure fairness
-
Analyzing eligibility for unemployment benefits and continuation of health coverage
-
Identifying potential claims for wrongful termination, discrimination, or retaliation
-
Negotiating for improved separation terms or additional benefits
-
Considering litigation when appropriate
Our goal is to give you the information you need to move forward with clarity—whether that’s accepting terms, negotiating better ones, or pursuing legal action.
