Moore Employment Law Attorneys
Your job is your livelihood. If you've been wrongfully terminated, harassed, or denied wages at a Moore retailer, Moore Public Schools, or as a Tinker AFB civilian employee — we fight for your rights in Cleveland County courts and beyond.
Standing With Cleveland County Workers
Moore's economy runs on retail, education, and federal employment. When employers break the law — discrimination, retaliation, wage theft — we level the playing field in Cleveland County District Court and federal court.
Wrongful Termination
Firing employees based on race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, or in retaliation for whistleblowing is illegal under federal and Oklahoma law. We investigate the real reason behind your termination at Moore employers.
Harassment & Hostile Workplace
No one should endure sexual harassment or discriminatory abuse to earn a paycheck — whether at a 19th Street retailer, Moore Public Schools, or a Cleveland County construction site. We hold employers accountable.
Wage Theft & Overtime
Recovering unpaid overtime, withheld commissions, and minimum wage violations for retail workers, restaurant staff, and service employees along Moore's commercial corridors under FLSA and state law.
Moore's Major Employer Sectors
Employment disputes arise across every sector of Moore's economy. We represent workers regardless of the size of their employer.
19th Street Retail Corridor
Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and dozens of national chains employ thousands of Moore residents. High turnover environments breed wage theft, retaliation, and discrimination — particularly against hourly workers seeking overtime protections.
Moore Public Schools
One of Cleveland County's largest employers. Teachers, administrators, bus drivers, and support staff face unique employment issues — retaliation for reporting safety violations, disability accommodation failures, and Title IX harassment claims.
Tinker AFB Civilians
Thousands of Moore residents commute to Tinker Air Force Base. Federal civilian employees follow different discrimination and retaliation procedures — EEO complaints with agency-specific timelines and administrative exhaustion requirements.

Oklahoma is an at-will state, so employers can fire you for no reason — but not for an illegal reason. If you were terminated because of race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, or in retaliation for reporting safety violations or filing a workers' comp claim, you may have a wrongful termination case. We handle claims against major retailers and local businesses along Moore's commercial corridors.
Yes. Public school districts — including Moore Public Schools — are subject to Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA. Teachers, administrators, and support staff who face discrimination or retaliation can file EEOC charges and pursue federal lawsuits. The special procedural rules for government-entity defendants make experienced counsel essential.
Federal civilian employees follow a different process — the EEO complaint procedure through the agency, with eventual appeal to the EEOC or federal court. Deadlines are shorter (45 days to contact an EEO counselor). Our firm handles federal employee discrimination cases through the administrative process and, when necessary, in the Western District of Oklahoma.
Under the FLSA, most non-exempt employees who work over 40 hours per week must receive 1.5x overtime. Many Moore retail and service workers are misclassified as 'exempt' or as 'independent contractors' to avoid overtime obligations. We can recover back wages, liquidated damages, and attorney fees for the entire look-back period.
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. Report it in writing to HR or your supervisor per your company's policy. If they fail to act or retaliate against you, contact us immediately. You have 300 days to file an EEOC charge (180 days for state-only claims).
Yes. A hostile work environment exists when harassment based on a protected characteristic (race, gender, religion, disability, etc.) is severe or pervasive enough to alter your working conditions. One-off comments may not qualify, but a pattern of discriminatory behavior — common in retail environments with high turnover — often does.
