Pietrucha Law Firm, LLC

#FirmUpdate - Stepping Away From EEOC/Title VII Employment Discrimination Cases We are excited to announce that Pietrucha Law Firm, LLC is shifting our practice in 2025! ?? ?? ?? After spending 10 years mostly known for our work on employment discrimination cases, we are moving forward with our employment law practice shifting to a focus on executive separation/severance negotiations + executive medical leave/FMLA disputes + unemployment benefits appeals. COVID-19 drastically changed the Illinois employment discrimination landscape, and we are taking a step back on those cases (that sometimes take 2 to 5 years to complete) to focus on cases that best benefit our clients at a more rapid speed. At our firm, we thrive on the energy of live telephone hearings with Illinois unemployment judges. These hearings are where the unexpected happens—surprise witnesses, sudden revelations, and twists that rival daytime drama. Think of it as a legal version of the Jerry Springer Show, but with higher stakes and a focus on fairness. For the last 6 months, our team has been working with Luxvoni Marketing Solutions to spread the news on social media, and in the midst of rampant job terminations, we are excited to roll out affordable options for those who need legal representation. While the surprises of employment disputes keep things lively, our mission is unwavering: to ensure that justice prevails for our clients as quickly as possible. We bring clarity, preparation, and a commitment to fairness to every hearing, so that even when the drama unfolds, your voice is heard, and your case is treated with the respect it deserves. #UnemploymentBenefits #LiveTelephoneHearings #UnemploymentAppeals #Executives #SeveranceNegotiations #SeparationAgreements #Contracts #FMLA #MedicalLeave
