Charleston, West Virginia Employment Law Attorneys

The law firm of DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC pursues justice for hard-working men and women in West Virginia who are mistreated by their employers. We file cases against employers who subject their employees to such abuses as:

• Sexually harassing an employee
• Retaliating against a worker for reporting a safety violation at work, for reporting sexual harassment or discrimination, or for filing an injury claim against an employer
• Firing an employee for missing work, where the absences were caused by an illness or injury suffered by the employee
• Firing an employee while the employee is off work as a result of a work related injury and is receiving workers' compensation benefits
• Firing an employee either for a reason not permitted under the law or because the employee took some action consistent with the law and public policy
• Discriminating against an employee based on disability, age, sex, race, national origin, religion, pregnancy, or marital status

If you think your rights are being violated at work, you should contact an experienced employment law attorney as soon as possible. Don’t wait to be fired. We can help you document your concerns and protect your rights to compensation.

DiTrapano, Barrett & DiPiero, PLLC has a long history of representing all kinds of employees, from office workers, clerical employees, and nurses to coal miners and other industrial workers. Our track record speaks for itself. Our lawyers have obtained some of the largest jury awards and settlements in West Virginia. We also have helped numerous employees in being reinstated to their former jobs, after persuading the employer involved that the firing was unlawful.

We handle all employment claims on a contingency fee basis. Under the contingency fee arrangement, you don’t have to pay us anything up front for our legal services. If we are successful, our fee will be a percentage of the jury award or settlement we obtain for you. Many of these claims also allow for the court to award attorneys' fees and costs, which is credited against any contingency fee. If we are not successful in obtaining compensation for you, you will owe us nothing.
