Employment Law

Workers Compensation
Our successful track record in managing the grievance/arbitration process on behalf of our clients is buttressed by our ability to often resolve issues prior to arbitration. We offer guidance on procedures and contract agreements that enable our clients to achieve the structural, staff, and/or educational changes they wish to implement without challenge. However, when arbitration or litigation is necessary, we have an outstanding record of success in representing our school district clients. Our attorneys appear before courts of all levels, hearing officers, arbitrators, and administrative tribunals, successfully litigating for and defending board members, administrators and school districts on all education and administrative related issues, including disciplinary hearings, contract issues, workers compensation, management rights, First Amendment rights, harassment, discrimination matters, and other constitutional claims.
Wrongful Termination
Providing counsel to clients on appropriate employment policies and assisting them in drafting employment contracts, non-compete agreements, and employee handbooks, taking an active role in the review and modification of employee manuals and policies to ensure compliance with the myriad of state and federal laws affecting the workplace, and collective bargaining with a variety of unions. We provide guidance on employee benefit and wage issues. Our employment lawyers defend lawsuits in state and federal courts involving all labor issues, such as wrongful discharge and employment discrimination claims, and regularly appear in administrative proceedings before such agencies as...
Employment Discrimination
Employment Contract
Non-compete Agreement
Sexual Harassment
Finally, we believe that by taking some preventative steps, employers can often avoid costly litigation. As part of our comprehensive employment lawyer services, we provide our clients with the tools and information to internally address and resolve situations that arise in the workplace through on-site training workshops. Our sessions are designed to reduce the risk of litigation and improve workplace morale. Critical areas of employer training that we provide address issues of equal employment opportunity, sexual harassment, policy development, workplace discrimination, complaint investigation and evaluation, employee discipline, and the implementation of preventative measures.

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
From contract to closing, Girvin & Ferlazzo handles all real estate matters. We routinely represent builders, developers, buyers, and sellers in transactions ranging from residential closings to large commercial acquisitions. Our representation includes addressing project funding and construction issues, land use and zoning matters, foreclosures and evictions, as well as any litigation issues that may arise.
Construction Litigation
Real Estate Transactions
We regularly assist both buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions from contract review and preparation to closing. On the nonresidential side, our real estate lawyers oversee large commercial transactions involving multiple private parties as well as cities, towns, counties, and school districts. Our thorough review and preparation of all necessary contracts and documents, including all property disclosure statements, helps facilitate the efficient and successful completion of real property transactions for all parties involved.
Land Use and Zoning
Representing private developers, municipalities, and school districts, our attorneys frequently handle land use and zoning matters, including area variances, use variances, and special permit applications, in connection with the development and redevelopment of land. As town counsel for several local municipalities, our attorneys are actively involved in identifying applicable land use restrictions and coordinating necessary project approvals. We regularly review land use issues arising from the purchase or sale of property, coordinate compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act and other state and local laws, and secure approvals from involved agencies. In addition, this law firm is often retained to represent developers and other involved parties in litigation that may arise in the course of project development, approval, and construction.

Health Law

Personal Injury
The cost and time required to litigate a matter to full conclusion is becoming more and more burdensome for many consumers and unacceptable to many corporate departments even if they can afford the escalating costs. Since more than 90 percent of commercial, corporate, and personal injury disputes resolve or settle without a trial, the question is not whether to employ a mediator but how soon in the process to do so.
Medical Malpractice
Contact us now or pick up the phone and call the personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers at Girvin & Ferlazzo. We have been trusted advocates for the injured for nearly thirty years. Our clients take great comfort knowing that while they struggle to recover from their physical, mental, and emotional injuries, the attorneys at Girvin & Ferlazzo are working just as tirelessly to ensure that those at fault are held accountable.
