Expert guidance through a complex workplace investigation

Our company recently faced a challenging situation where a former employee filed a retaliation claim with the EEOC. The allegations were serious and navigating the internal investigation while preparing our formal response was daunting. We engaged Nick Morisani at Phelps Dunbar based on his recognized expertise in labor and employment law. From our first meeting, his deep knowledge of Mississippi employment law was evident. He guided our HR team through every step of the process, from preserving evidence to preparing witness statements, with a clear strategy focused on our defense. His 16 years of experience, particularly in defending discrimination and retaliation cases, gave us immense confidence. While his legal counsel was impeccable and his calm demeanor invaluable during a stressful time, there were occasional delays in email responses, likely due to his caseload. Ultimately, his thorough preparation led to a favorable resolution for our company well before litigation. We appreciate his practical, business-minded approach to employment law.
