At Lebau & Neuworth, we believe every worker deserves to be treated with fairness, respect, and dignity in the workplace. Whether you're an hourly worker, public employee, executive, or federal worker, you have rights — and we're here to enforce them.
Our firm represents employees across Maryland who have been wronged by their employers, harassed or discriminated against, denied fair pay, or punished for speaking up. From Baltimore to Columbia, Silver Spring to Annapolis, our attorneys fight for those who have been treated unjustly at work. We cover a wide range of employment law issues. If something feels unfair or unlawful at your job, we’re ready to help.
Types of Employee Rights Cases We Handle
Discrimination & Harassment
No one should face mistreatment because of their race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. We represent employees subjected to illegal discrimination and workplace harassment — including hostile work environments and retaliation for reporting abuse.

Wrongful Termination & Retaliation
Maryland is an at-will employment state, but firing someone for an illegal reason — such as retaliation, discrimination, or whistleblowing — is against the law. If you’ve been fired unfairly, we can help you fight back.
Wage & Hour Violations
You deserve to be paid fairly for your work. We help workers recover unpaid wages, overtime, commissions, and tips. We also take on employers who misclassify employees or violate minimum wage laws.
Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)
If you’re eligible, the law entitles you to take time off to care for a new child, a sick loved one, or your own health without fear of losing your job. If your FMLA rights are denied or violated, we’ll protect you.
Disability Rights & Reasonable Accommodations
Employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. If your request was denied or you were treated unfairly because of a disability, we’ll help you assert your rights under the ADA and Maryland law.
Severance, Contracts & Non-Competes
Before you sign (or if you’ve already signed) an employment agreement, severance package, or non-compete, get trusted legal guidance. We review, negotiate, and litigate employment contracts on behalf of employees.
Whistleblower Protections
If you’ve reported illegal activity at work and faced retaliation, you're protected under state and federal whistleblower laws. We stand with workers who speak up — and we work to hold employers accountable.
Public Employees & Government Workers
We have deep experience representing federal, state, and local government employees — including MSPB appeals, security clearance issues, and claims under the Civil Service Reform Act. Public workers face unique challenges — and we know how to help.
Union & Collective Action
If your union rights are being undermined, or you and your coworkers are facing the same injustice, we can advise you on concerted activity and potential class or collective legal actions.
