The employment lawyers at Caffarelli & Siegel are very experienced in the realm of filing litigation in state and federal court. Since 2001, the Firm has filed numerous suits in state and federal court. For a summary of the cases filed by Caffarelli & Siegel, visit our resources page.

To file a civil lawsuit in state or federal court, an individual must assert a valid cause of action based on a violation of law. As employment lawyers, Caffarelli & Siegel most commonly litigates matters relating to the following state and federal statutes:

	Fair Labor Standards Act
	Illinois Minimum Wage Law
	Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act
	Family and Medical Leave Act
	Title VII
	Section 1981
	Americans with Disabilities Act
	Age Discrimination in Employment Act

There are no administrative prerequisites to filing a lawsuit for unpaid wages under the FLSA, IMWL, or IWPCA. The same holds true for individuals stating a claim for a violation of the FMLA or Section 1981. However, if an individual wishes to file a federal lawsuit on the basis of claims under Title VII, the ADA, or the ADEA, he or she must first exhaust his or her administrative remedies by filing a charge with the Illinois Department of Human Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

If you believe that your employment rights have been violated, and you would like to speak to an attorney regarding representation in state or federal court, contact Caffarelli and Siegel, Ltd. to speak with a Chicago employment lawyer.
