Miami Employment Law Attorney

Representing Employees Across Miami and Throughout Florida

Your job affects your income, your reputation, and your future. When an employer violates your rights, the consequences can be serious.

The Miami Shark P.A. represents employees in a wide range of employment law matters. From wrongful termination to unpaid wages, discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower claims, we provide focused legal advocacy grounded in Florida and federal law.

Our office is located at 6709 North Kendall Dr #213 in Miami. We serve clients across South Florida and statewide.

Comprehensive Employment Law Representation

Employment law covers many types of workplace disputes. We represent employees in cases involving:
  • Wrongful termination
  • Wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime
  • Florida Whistleblower Act claims
  • Sexual harassment
  • Workplace discrimination
  • Retaliation for protected activity
  • FMLA interference and retaliation
  • Workers’ compensation retaliation
  • Employee misclassification
  • Breach of employment contract
  • Severance and separation agreement review
Each case is different. Some involve a single unlawful decision. Others reflect ongoing patterns of misconduct. Our role is to assess the facts, identify the governing law, and develop a strategy that protects your interests.

Wrongful Termination

Florida is an at-will employment state, but that does not give employers unlimited power. Terminations based on discrimination, retaliation, or other unlawful motives can give rise to legal claims.

We represent employees who were fired after reporting misconduct, requesting protected leave, filing complaints, or refusing to participate in unlawful practices.

If you believe your termination violated state or federal law, we can evaluate your case and explain your options clearly.

Wage & Hour Violations

Federal and Florida laws require employers to pay minimum wage and overtime when applicable. Employers who misclassify workers, deny overtime pay, or require off-the-clock work may be violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Wage claims often involve:
  • Unpaid overtime
  • Improper deductions
  • Independent contractor misclassification
  • Failure to pay for all hours worked
We analyze payroll records, job duties, and employer policies to determine whether you are owed compensation.

Florida Whistleblower Act Claims

Employees who report unlawful conduct are protected under the Florida Whistleblower Act. Employers cannot retaliate against workers who disclose, object to, or refuse to participate in illegal activity.

Whistleblower claims often involve complex notice requirements and strict deadlines. Early legal advice is essential to protect your rights.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a form of unlawful discrimination under both federal and Florida law. It can take the form of quid pro quo demands or a hostile work environment.

We represent employees who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, inappropriate comments, or retaliatory action after reporting harassment.

Workplace Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly because of a protected characteristic such as race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, religion, or national origin.

Claims may arise from termination, demotion, unequal pay, denial of promotion, or other adverse actions. These cases often require careful documentation and a strategic approach to administrative filings with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the Florida Commission on Human Relations.

Retaliation and Protected Activity

Retaliation claims frequently overlap with other employment disputes. An employer may not punish an employee for:
  • Reporting discrimination or harassment
  • Filing a wage complaint
  • Requesting medical or family leave
  • Filing a workers’ compensation claim
  • Participating in an internal investigation
Timing, documentation, and employer communications often play a key role in proving retaliation.

Employment Contracts and Severance Agreements

Not all employment disputes involve termination or discrimination. Some involve contract terms and negotiated exits.

We review and litigate issues involving:

  • Employment agreements
  • Non-compete clauses
  • Confidentiality provisions
  • Commission disputes
  • Severance packages

Before signing any agreement that affects your legal rights, it is important to understand the long-term consequences.

What to Expect in an Employment Law Case

Many employment claims require filing an administrative charge before a lawsuit can proceed. This may involve the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a state agency.

Strict deadlines apply. Evidence must be preserved. Employers often respond quickly with legal counsel of their own.

We provide clear guidance at every stage. That includes case evaluation, administrative filings, negotiation, and litigation when necessary.

Our approach is direct and strategic. We assess the strength of your claim honestly and pursue the most effective path forward under the law.
