Q. I am looking for advice regarding a covenant of non competition in the state of Florida that I signed

11 February 2021

A: If your employer asks you to sign an employment agreement of any kind before starting a job, it’s always best to have an experienced employment attorney review it before signing. After the fact, if you want to dispute the agreement, you will likely also need the advice of an employment lawyer to explore this possibility.

Q. What is the exact definition of "Attempt to exercise FMLA rights" under the FMLA prohibitions?

11 February 2021

A: Some serious medical conditions arise with very little warning and employees are not able to give 30 days advance notice of their FMLA leave as one might do in the case of pregnancy/maternity leave. When a medical emergency occurs suddenly and an employee wants to use FMLA, they must notify their employer of their intention to take leave due to a serious medical condition. Whether the employee asks for it by name or not, the employer must inform you whether or not FMLA is an option available to you based on your eligibility. If you are ineligible for FMLA at that time, they must give you the reason why within five business days. If you believe you were retaliated or discriminated against after presenting a need to use FMLA, contact an experienced FMLA attorney at an employment law firm to discuss the details of your case.

Q. daughter went in to police custody had no bruises hospital report done while in custody,came out multiple bruises

A: If you are alleging mistreatment by the police, it is important to pull together any photographic evidence or reports from the hospital that will support your case. Law enforcement offices do not have the right to use force recklessly and must be held accountable. Contact an experienced police brutality lawyer to discuss your legal options.
