 Wrongful Termination 03 A small office meeting table by a window over the city

Let go after reporting a problem, fired because of discrimination, or pressured to resign.

 Sexual and Other Harassment 04 An empty elevated train platform at dusk

Conduct at work so severe or constant that it changes the job itself. You do not have to put up with it.

 Wage & Hour Claims 05 A city river under lit bridges at blue hour

Unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, missed breaks, unlawful deductions and misclassification.

 Severance Review & Negotiation 06 An employment agreement and a fountain pen on a desk in window light

Understand what you would be waiving before you sign, and negotiate for better terms when possible.

 Flat Fee & Hourly Advice 07 A law library reading room with a green shaded lamp on an oak table

Employee counseling, severance reviews and unemployment appeals, without a lawsuit.

 Title IX & Misconduct in Schools 08 A quiet law office at dusk with a window over the lake

For students and survivors in Title IX complaints and proceedings, from K-12 schools to universities.

Every matter begins with one direct conversation.

You tell Frances what happened

No forms to fill in before you talk. When you contact Marrable Law, you speak directly with Frances and tell her what happened in your own words.

She tells you where you stand

Frances explains which laws apply, which deadlines matter and what your options are, in plain language. If your matter is outside her practice, she says so.

You agree the fee structure

Contingency, flat fee or hourly, whichever suits the matter. The terms are agreed in writing before any work begins.

Where your situation fits

Six situations we hear about.

Passed over or pushed out

Employment discrimination

A protected trait played a part

Treated worse because of race, sex, age, religion, disability, pregnancy or another protected trait, under federal and state fair employment law.

Punished for speaking up

Retaliation

Protected activity

Written up, demoted or fired after reporting harassment, filing with the EEOC or a state agency, asking for an accommodation or taking protected leave.

Fired for the wrong reason

Wrongful termination

At-will has limits

Let go for an illegal reason, or pressured to resign. Most jobs are at-will, but discrimination, retaliation and broken agreements are exceptions.

Harassed at work

Sexual and other harassment

Confidential from the first call

Harassment tied to a protected trait, from a manager, coworker, customer or someone outside the company. You do not have to put up with it.

Not paid for the hours

Wage and hour

Federal and state wage law

Unpaid overtime, off-the-clock work, unlawful deductions or misclassification, for one employee or a group of coworkers.

Handed an agreement to sign

Severance review

Often a 21-day window

Understand what you would waive before you sign, and negotiate for better terms when possible, without a lawsuit.

Questions people ask

Plain answers, before you call.

General information only, not advice about your own situation. Your questions get answered in a confidential consultation with Frances.
