The Firm
At Marshall & Forman, we represent people, not employers or governments. We believe that every client is entitled to an experienced assessment of their legal claims, and how those claims might affect their goals and careers. We offer candid advice for your individual situation. You can rely on our reputation and combined 45 years of experience.
In our employment law practice, we believe that employers should keep their promises, and that workplaces should be free of discrimination and harassment. If you are someone who was wrongfully terminated or harassed, an executive whose contract was not honored, a salesperson whose commissions were not paid, or a worker cheated out of overtime, we can help you.
In our civil rights practice, we believe that the rights of citizens are vital and must be protected. If you have been a victim of police abuse, if you have been maliciously prosecuted without evidence, if your right to free speech has been ignored, or if your property has been illegally seized, we can help you.
We are proud to be a Tier One Best Law firm in America as ranked by U.S. News and World Reports.
