The National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) is a professional organization of attorneys who advocate for workers in employment, wage and hour, labor, and civil rights cases. We offer this directory to help
individuals connect with attorneys; however, NELA does not operate a lawyer referral service. Inclusion in this directory should not be considered a recommendation.
We encourage you to take time in selecting the attorney who best fits your needs. Please note:
- Attorneys listed here are dues-paying members of NELA.
- NELA attorneys are not obligated to accept referrals and may decline to take a case.
- It is important to discuss all fees in advance, including any charges for initial consultations, and to request a written fee agreement. Each attorney sets their own fees and terms of service.
- Fees may vary depending on location and the nature of the legal services.
This directory is offered as a public service to support your search for legal assistance. We hope it helps you take the next step toward resolving your employment issue, and we wish you the best in finding the right
advocate.
If you are a federal worker who have been affected by the recent federal government actions, you can also review a list of members who
specialize in representing federal sector employees.
