Employment

Almost everyone is an employee and almost all businesses have employees. So we’re all affected by employment matters, and we need to deal with them appropriately. I represent both sides of the fence in this field, so I am able to take an unbiased approach to each issue and address it properly.

I provide advisory services on employee relations issues concerning employment agreements, discrimination, Federal employment regulations, employee handbooks, and strategies to prevent and prosecute post-termination disputes.

If the time arises when you do need to take proactive or reactive measures, I stand ready to help. I have significant experience before state and Federal courts and administrative bodies in relations to the following areas:

  • Title VII,
  • the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA),
  • the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
  • the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA),
  • the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
  • Employment discrimination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Retaliation
  • Wrongful discharge and termination claims
  • Wage and hour violations
  • Misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information
  • Contract disputes
  • Breach of restrictive covenants (non-competition and non-solicitation provisions)
  • Fiduciary claims
  • Defamation

What Clients Say About My Service:

“Samir was a great attorney to work with, he helped me settle a contract dispute. It was a long process, but Samir did a very good job walking me through the complexities. He personally answered all my questions and helped me understand the issues. He was responsive, which helped lessen my anxiety. He was prepared to respond to the opposing party and his hard work ended in a great outcome. I would not hesitate to use Samir Dahman again for my contract needs or employment needs in the future.”
– Jonathan Y.

“Samir and his staff guided us through a routine HR issue.  What started as a routine hearing extended into 3 hearings.  Samir kept us focused and cut to the meat of the case.  We were impressed with the level of service and preparation.  He did not waste our time and the fees were very reasonable.  Samir has a logical and organized mind.  He is articulate, experienced and dedicated.  Whether your issue is big or small, Samir will give you the attention and service you need and expect.  I wholeheartedly recommend Samir and his staff.”
– Hamish Baird of Remington Davis, Inc.

“Samir was able to assist me with a severance and a non-compete agreement with an employer.  Samir was very responsive and always followed up with me even when no new information was available.  I met with two attorneys when choosing Samir, and I found that in the time of need, there wasn’t an easy way to choose an attorney unless you have already dealt with one.  Samir made it so easy to choose him by his attention to me and the details of my situation.  He took ownership of my case and understood the important details that I needed for myself and my family.  All of this happened in the middle of the Christmas holidays and there was never a delay from Samir during this time.”
