Every employee deserves to work in an environment that is fair, respectful, and free from discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Federal and State employment laws are designed to protect you, ensuring that you are treated lawfully, paid fairly, and provided with a safe workplace. However, not all employers follow these laws.
Discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and wage violations remain widespread across industries, leaving employees vulnerable to exploitation. At The Noble Law, we stand with workers who have been mistreated.

What Does an Employment Attorney Do?
When workplace disputes arise, employees are often left navigating a complex legal landscape with limited guidance, unsure of their rights and the best course of action. This is where an employment attorney becomes invaluable. An employment lawyer acts as your advocate, ensuring that your rights are protected or vindicated when your employer fails to comply with the law.
Our role is to even the odds by providing the support needed to take a stand. An experienced employment attorney can help you navigate legal challenges, negotiate fair resolutions, and take decisive legal action against your employer when necessary.
Comprehensive Employment Law Representation in Greenville
At The Noble Law, we understand the difficulties employees face when confronting workplace misconduct. Our employment law attorneys in Greenville, NC, handle a wide range of employment law disputes, including:
Workplace Discrimination
No one should be mistreated because of their race, gender, age, disability, or other protected status. If you have been terminated, denied opportunities, or subjected to a hostile work environment because of your protected class or category, or punished for speaking up against discrimination, we will take swift action to hold your employer accountable.
Sexual Harassment
A hostile work environment, inappropriate comments, unwanted advances, or coercion in exchange for workplace benefits are all forms of sexual harassment. Employers have a legal duty to prevent and address harassment in the workplace. If they fail, we take action.
Wrongful Termination
Losing your job unfairly impacts more than your income—it affects your career, reputation, and future. While North Carolina is an at-will employment state, employers cannot fire you because you belong to a protected class or category, or for other unlawful reasons such as reporting discrimination or harassment, complaining about an unsafe workplace, or requesting leave or disability accommodations. If you were unlawfully terminated, we will fight to set the record straight.
Retaliation & Whistleblower Protection
If you were fired, demoted, or otherwise punished for reporting illegal activity, filing a complaint, or standing up for your rights, that is retaliation—and it’s illegal. We protect whistleblowers and employees who have faced employer retaliation.
Unpaid Wages & Overtime Violations
If your employer has shorted your paycheck, denied you overtime pay, failed to pay you, or engaged in other forms of wage theft, we can help you recover what you are owed.
Employment Contracts & Severance Agreements
Your employer might have you sign various legal documents when you’re hired or fired such as an Employment Contract, a Confidentiality Agreement, Severance Agreement, or Separation Agreement. These agreements often contain non-compete clauses, non-solicitation clauses, waivers of your rights, and other clauses that might come back to bite you. We believe these agreements should protect your best interests, not just your employer’s.
You should always have an attorney review these contracts before you sign them, as they can severely impact—or even cause you to lose—your rights. We review and negotiate employment contracts to ensure fairness, and advise you on your rights before and after you sign. If your employer has violated the contract, we can help hold them accountable.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Violations
The FMLA protects your right to take unpaid leave for medical reasons, to care for a family member, or after childbirth—without fear of losing your job or experiencing retaliation. If your employer denied you leave or penalized you for taking it, we can help.
Disability Rights & Workplace Accommodations
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers must provide reasonable accommodations for qualified employees with disabilities. If your employer has refused to accommodate your needs or discriminated against you, we can advocate for your rights.
Unsafe Working Conditions & OSHA Violations
Every worker has the right to a safe work environment. If your employer ignores hazardous conditions, violates OSHA standards, or punishes you for reporting safety violations, they are breaking the law.
The Legal Process: What to Expect
When you reach out to The Noble Law, here is what to expect as we help you navigate the legal process:
Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation
During your initial consultation, we will listen closely to your story and discuss your options. If we have the capacity and believe your case has merit, and if you feel comfortable working with us, we will move forward by signing a fee agreement that outlines the scope of our representation.
Investigation and Discovery
Once we take your case, we go straight to work. We collect and review the evidence you’ve retained, interview key witnesses, and your case. While the employer always has a different version of the facts, we want to present the most solid case that we can.
Negotiation and Settlement
We believe in resolving disputes as efficiently as possible. We work diligently to negotiate a fair settlement, aiming to avoid lengthy litigation where possible. We are strong advocates for you and will push for the best possible outcome—however, it’s important to recognize that some cases require more time and effort to reach a resolution.
Litigation and Trial (If Necessary)
If settlement does not occur, we will discuss with you what the litigation process looks like from practical, strategic, and financial standpoints. If we agree that litigation is the best next step, we will file a complaint in the appropriate court and engage in formal discovery, motion practice, and arguments before the judge and jury when necessary. Though most employment cases do not go to trial, we are prepared to fiercely advocate for your rights throughout the litigation process.
