The Consequences of Facing Employment Issues Alone
Employment-related legal challenges such as non-compete clauses, unfair severance packages, and unpaid commissions can lead to serious repercussions. Without addressing these issues promptly, employees risk career stagnation, financial insecurity, and emotional strain. Non-compete agreements can trap you in unfulfilling roles, while inadequate severance packages can leave you without the support you need during transitions.
Why Having an Employment Attorney Is Essential
Employment law is intricate and constantly evolving, making it difficult for individuals to navigate without expert help. Without an experienced attorney, employees may miss key opportunities to protect their rights, secure fair compensation, or challenge unfair agreements. Many of these matters are time-sensitive, and delaying action could result in lost compensation or missed legal deadlines.

Have a question? Check these answers.
F.A.Q.
Is my non-compete agreement enforceable in Maryland?
Enforceability depends on the agreement's scope, duration, and geographic limits. Maryland courts generally enforce non-competes that protect legitimate business interests without being overly restrictive.
Can I negotiate my severance package?
Yes, severance packages are often negotiable. With legal assistance, you can secure better terms, such as increased compensation, extended benefits, or favorable clauses that protect your future opportunities.
What should I do if my employer asks me to sign a severance agreement immediately?
You should never feel pressured to sign a severance agreement on the spot. Take the time to review the terms carefully and consult an attorney to ensure the agreement is in your best interest.
How much severance pay am I entitled to?
There is no legal requirement for severance pay in Maryland, but it can vary based on factors like your employment contract, company policy, and negotiation.
What’s the best approach for negotiating a raise?
Prepare a solid case based on your achievements, market salary rates, and your value to the company. We can help strategize and ensure your employer adheres to legal obligations during negotiations.
My employer isn’t paying my bonus/commission. What can I do?
If your bonus or commission was promised in your contract or company policies, you have a legal right to that compensation. We can review your contract and help you recover what you are owed.
Are there time limits for filing a wage dispute claim in Maryland?
Yes, generally you have three years from the date the wages were due to file a claim for unpaid wages in Maryland.
Can my employer reduce my commission rate?
Employers can modify commission rates for future earnings but cannot retroactively reduce commissions for work already completed. We can help ensure your rights are protected.
What should I do if I’m asked to sign a non-compete agreement during my employment?
Non-compete agreements presented mid-employment should be carefully reviewed. In Maryland, continued employment may not always be sufficient consideration for a new non-compete. We can help you negotiate or challenge the terms.
Can I be fired for discussing my salary with coworkers?
No, the National Labor Relations Act protects most employees’ rights to discuss wages and working conditions with colleagues.
