About this practice

Equal Pay sits inside our Employment Law practice.

Federal and Florida employment law protects workers — on paper. Enforcement is the part that requires counsel. We file EEOC charges, pursue FLSA wage claims, and litigate employer retaliation.

They treated me like family. Recovered more than I thought possible and they did it in Spanish when I couldn't do it in English.

We were facing deportation and lost. Maria walked us through every filing. Today we are legal permanent residents.

The construction company denied everything. Gallardo's team had the medical records, site photos, and depositions lined up. We settled for more than double the original offer.

Common Questions

Answers that cite the statute.

Do I have to file with EEOC first?

For Title VII, ADA, ADEA, and related federal statutes — yes. EEOC (or the state-equivalent FCHR) exhaustion is jurisdictional. We handle the filing.

Can my employer fire me for talking to an attorney?

Consulting counsel is not itself protected activity, but retaliation for filing a discrimination complaint — or for participating in an investigation — is prohibited.
