The Law Offices of Frederick Coles, III, with offices located in downtown Newark, New Jersey, and Plainfield, New Jersey, was established in May, 1996, and since that time, it has maintained a strong commitment to provide its clients with professional and cost efficient result oriented legal services.   In order to satisfy your needs, the firm will devote all of its litigation experience and counseling skills so that it may assist you in protecting the most basic and fundamental aspects of your life – your family, employment and home.  This firm  specializes in family and divorce matters as well as employment and real estate matters.  We have a history of providing exceptional legal and counseling services to both public and private sector clients in a variety of legal actions.
   
This firm’s experience in the employment sector includes the successful representation of clients who were wrongfully terminated and discharged from their employment in violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (“LAD”), N.J.S.A. 10:5-1. et seq., New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”), N.J.S.A. 34:19-1 et seq., New Jersey Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), N.J.S.A. 34:11B-1, et seq., and terms and provisions of Collective Bargaining Agreements. We have also assisted our clients in negotiating the terms of employment severance packages. As a visitor to this website, we can only assume that you have been terminated from your place of employment and now you have asked the first and most important question: what should I do now? Please bear in mind that not every termination of employment warrants a lawsuit. Now that you are here, we strongly urge you to consider allowing us to explore with you what rights or options are available to you and whether you have sustained any damages which are compensable as a result of the termination of your employment. Our primary goal is to provide you with legal advice geared towards identifying whether any of your employment rights have been violated or compromised. Our next efforts are to assist you with determining whether you have sustained any compensable damages as a result of having your employment terminated by your former employer.
