Representing Louisiana Workers

‍ ‍

Litigation and Legal Services

We litigate claims to improve workers’ economic outcomes by promoting access to, and fairness in the courts.

We represent workers who have had their employment rights violated under federal, state and/or administrative laws. Our practice area includes discrimination, retaliation, and harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, wage claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Louisiana Wage Payment Act, breach of contract, civil service, unemployment benefits and other civil law claims that may arise as a result of a workplace violation.

Outside of litigation, we also provide limited legal services, including consultations, claim and document review, and “Q&A” access, where workers can email or call-in to ask questions about workplace rights.

What are the costs for our legal services?

WJP provides pro bono and low cost legal services to income eligible individuals.
