We even the odds when you're facing a major corporate employer
Our thorough integration of high technology into every aspect of our practice allows us to develop and present cases with the maximum efficiency. That gives us the chance to use our time keeping in touch with our clients rather than groping for files and phone numbers. It also helps us confront even the biggest employers on something like an even footing. Our opponents often outspend us, but they never overwhelm us.
Employer defendants in workplace litigation are notorious for papering their smaller and financially weaker opponents into submission. The thought is that eventually, either you or your lawyer won't be able to afford to continue with the case or will lose the will do carry on. We know how to neutralize that advantage by seizing the initiative in defining the issues, streamlining the discovery stages of the case, and making sure your claim is ready for settlement or even trial before our opponents even know what hit them.

John A. Gallagher was selected as a Top Employment Lawyer by his peers in both 2009 and 2010 by Main Line Today. Our experience helps us position your case for prompt success.

While it's often to your advantage to settle the case on favorable terms as quickly as possible, we can usually get your claims before a judge or administrative hearing officer within six months of filing. That's lightning fast in the world of litigation. Our focus on representing individuals with workplace issues, the selective nature of our practice, and our ability to respond quickly to your needs and tactical opportunities can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
We represent all kinds of clients: professionals, hourly workers, salaried employees, foreign nationals, laborers, professionals, technicians, older workers caught in a reduction in force, and female middle managers whose careers have mysteriously stalled under the weight of the glass ceiling.

In addition to employment law matters, we handle Disability Claims and routinely assist our clients on Personal Injury claims that affect their ability to work. We know how to maximize personal injury recoveries, while at the same time protecting your loss of income through Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability claims. We are also experienced at protecting your job rights through statutes such as FMLA and ADA, and laws protecting you from wrongful termination.
