WHA is a DC-based firm specializing in employment law in both the private and federal sectors.
We believe that everyone is entitled to a workplace that is just, fair and equitable. Most of our clients have been terminated, are about to be terminated, or are otherwise being subjected to discrimination or enduring emotionally crushing harassment at work. Many of our clients have been denied the reasonable accommodations to which they are legally entitled. Others come to us because they have blown the whistle on their employer and are facing retaliation, or because they have observed something unethical or illegal in the workplace and don’t know what to do.
It is our pleasure and privilege to work on cases like these. We only take cases we intend to win, where we believe we can effectuate a change in our clients' working environment - either through a favorable settlement or in court. Once we dedicate ourselves to a case, we explore every option, consider every angle, and we do not stop until we have achieved the best possible result for our clients.
Anyone facing a problem in the workplace that requires a lawyer to advocate for them deserves nothing less.
