Core Practice Sectors
Employment Law
The Diederich Law Office represents people. If you are a worker and you believe you have been treated unfairly by your employer, we may be able to help.
Wage & Hour Law
If you have not be paid straight time or the overtime that you deserve as a “non-exempt” worker, we can help.
Severance Agreements
Many employers offer severance to employees as the “fair” thing to do. The Diederich Law Office can help negotiate an agreement that best reflects the devotion you gave to the company you are leaving.
Civil Rights & Liberties
The Diederich Law Office can help “fight city hall,” when governmental actors (for example, the police, or zoning officials) deprive citizens of, or violate, constitutionally-protected rights.
