Macon sits right in the Heart of Georgia. The metro Macon area has a population of almost 400,000, making it Georgia's fifth largest metropolitan area. Although Macon boasts a projected job growth rate of 20% in the next ten years, there may be times when you need the advice of an employment law attorney, but don't know where to turn.

The attorneys of the Atlanta law firm of Buckley & Klein, experts in employment law, serve the people of the Augusta metropolitan area as one of the state's most experienced employment law firms.

Known as the capital of Southern Rock, and home to the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, Macon has ties to some of the greatest in American music––from Little Richard and Otis Redding to the Allman Brothers, members of R.E.M., and rising star Jason Aldean.

Macon also has a long history of close ties to the American military, sitting on the old site of Ft. Benjamin Hawkins, and serving as the closest major city to Robbins Air Force Base.

More than half of the employment in Macon is in offices––from the professions, to sales, management, and other inside occupations. Other local jobs include construction, farming, transportation, and industrial production.

Macon is home to three highly respected universities––Mercer University, Macon State College, and Wesleyan College––as well as a highly developed health care industry.

The Georgia employment lawyers at Buckley & Klein understand that many people may not know their rights under employment laws.

We know that there are times when your employer doesn't treat you the right way, and times that employers may violate Georgia or even federal employment laws––in many instances, without the knowledge of the employee.

Our firm practices in a diverse set of employment law areas, including wage and hour cases, overtime, sexual harassment, and discrimination based on race, gender, religion, national origin, and age, among others.

We also work in the areas of executive compensation, employment contracts, state law torts, and retaliation and whistleblower claims.

We regularly represent clients in federal and state court trials, arbitration hearings, and mediations.

For the many members of the military stationed at Robbins Air Force Base, we are experienced with the Uniformed Services Employment and Re–Employment Rights Act (USERRA), which protects many workplace rights of U.S. military personnel.
