Case + Sedey, LLC assists individuals at all stages of this process – including consultation with an attorney before, during, and after the investigation to protect employees’ rights. Similarly, when an employer-employee relationship ends, in the event of litigation, we protect our clients and develop strategies to avoid counterclaims.
