nevada Labor & employment attorney

We represent labor unions in collective bargaining, grievance resolution and general counsel.  We also help individual employees in disciplinary actions, retaliation claims, hostile work environments, and discrimination claims.

about our services

We can help almost any labor union, employer, or employee, but most of our expertise is in serving law enforcement unions and defending disciplinary processes.

Our success in labor has been premised on the strategy of preparation and thoroughness. We always come to the negotiating table better prepared than the other side with the research done and experts consulted so we can support our demands and respond to nearly any attack. Employers know that we will present a fair and defensible offer and they will negotiate with such knowledge.

The same strategy has compelled us to an overwhelming success record in disciplinary investigations. We come to the initial interview having already reviewed the evidence and policies and done helpful research. Many of our investigations resolve at this stage because of the defense we help you present and the education we provide to the investigators throughout the interview. Should your investigation proceed to proposed discipline, we will use every resource available to examine the case far better than the investigating officers. Our record in disciplinary cases is nearly flawless and employers do not want to go to arbitration against our record, preparation and experience. If you messed up, we’ll let you know that too and make sure you are still treated fairly and get a reasonable result to protect your career and future to the maximum extent possible.

Frequently asked questions

How do we determine what salary/pay to request in negotiations?
There are two main factors that must be proven to justify requested pay in CBA negotiations.  First, the pay must be comparable, based upon several factors, to other labor groups who are similarly situated.  Second, the employer must have the ability to pay.  This is a simple explanation of a very complex analysis that we are experienced in preparing and presenting during negotiations.
What rights do I have if my employer fired me?
There is no way to answer this without analyzing your specific circumstances. The answer is going to depend on whether you have statutory protections (such as NRS 289 for law enforcement officers), whether you are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, employment agreement, or other policies and procedures, and whether you are a protected class or engaged in protected behavior.
Do I need an attorney for an internal affairs interview?
Yes. Even if you did nothing wrong, you have no idea what has been told to the investigators and what will be asked. In the moment, you need someone there to ensure the questions are presented in a fair manner, that your answers will not be misinterpreted, and that your exonerating evidence is presented effectively. If you don’t have defense coverage through your union, FOP, or some other defense program, contact us and we will give you advice and try to work out a way to ensure you are protected as much as possible.
