It wasn't that long ago that Marietta, and all of Cobb County, was a sleepy little place out in the woods, far away from the big city of Atlanta. Not anymore. Cobb County is in a state of growth that rivals any similar– sized city in the South. The employment law attorneys of Buckley & Klein, LLP are very familiar with the employment landscape of Cobb County, working with employees from the area every day to protect their rights under Georgia and federal employment law.

Well over 350,000 people work in Cobb County, in industries as diverse as transportation, agriculture, mining, telecommunications and electronic technology, manufacturing, finance, government, wholesale and retail, transportation, entertainment, and virtually every other form of employment.

The county's diversity of employment is apparent from just looking at the area's four largest employers––in order, the Cobb County school system, WellStar Health System, Lockheed Martin Aeronautical, and The Home Depot.

Obviously, thousands of people gain and lose employment in Cobb County every week. With all of the new jobs, new construction, and new housing in Cobb, it can be difficult for anyone––employer or employee––to keep track of the individual rights of a single employee.

And yet, it is your life, and when something happens at work that isn't right, you may need someone to turn to.

We know that there are times when your employer doesn't treat you the right way, and times that employers may violate your rights under Georgia or even federal employment laws.

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

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.

Many reserves who are stationed at Dobbins have rights under government policy, and we are experienced with the Uniformed Services Employment and Re–Employment Rights Act (USERRA), which protects many workplace rights of U.S. military personnel.

If you have any questions about you legal rights at your job in the Cobb County area, in the entire Atlanta metro area, or anywhere else in the state of Georgia, please contact us. We are here for you.
