You've just been ""Fired"" by your employer. Do you have a case? read more
Maybe you loved your job. You enjoyed your work, and looked forward to it every morning. Your colleagues may have been a delight.
Or... Maybe you hated your job and dreaded every day you had to go there. Just the thought of it made you want to stay in bed permanently. Maybe your boss and your colleagues could have come straight out of Dilbert cartoons.
But you hung in there anyway. You’re not a quitter. Besides, you’ve got responsibilities. A family to support. A mortgage to pay. College loans to pay off.
And then, one day, there it was: the pink slip. They said you were no longer needed. But then, not everyone lost their job. Maybe you’re older than your former colleagues who are still there. Maybe you’re from a different background.
It’s such a shock to suddenly lose your livelihood, especially after putting in all those years of hard work. What in the world could have happened? What could you have done differently, you wonder, as you’re out on the street, pounding the pavement. Maybe what you need is a good lawyer!
And if you live in or near Martinsburg, in Berkeley, Jefferson, or Morgan County, or anywhere else in the Eastern Panhandle, help is close by. If you’d like an experienced, trustworthy employment attorney on your side, you don’t need to look any further.
Meet Harry Waddell, the employment attorney with a proven record of success. The lawyer with the personal touch. With 12 years of defense work under his belt, he knows the tricks that the other side likes to use against his clients. He will personally fight for getting you the compensation you deserve.
Harry will also be glad to represent you if you live in other parts of West Virginia, including Potomac Highlands (Grant, Hampshire and Hardy Counties), or in Western Maryland (Washington County and Hagerstown).
Or perhaps you weren’t laid off but are “just” treated badly at work. Maybe your workplace qualifies as a hostile environment because of sexual harassment or because of harassment based on your sex, race, age, national origin, religion or disability.
Maybe you’ve been stuck in a lower-level position while people hired long after you keep passing you on their way up the ladder. Maybe you’re underpaid, or maybe you’re not being paid the money that you have already earned. Maybe you’re forced to work overtime off the clock.
Whatever it may be, whether you’re dealing with discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, or any other workplace issue, Harry Waddell can help you. He has many years of experience with helping his clients win in employment-related cases. In fact, together with 4 other attorneys, he represented 11,000 former employees of a telemarketing firm in a wage class action suit and won a $15,000,000 (15 million dollars!) settlement. Harry has worked on state and federal levels, and he can help you too.
If you feel traumatized and worried about what will happen, you’ll find Harry’s record very reassuring. As you wonder what to do, you’ll want information you can trust. And Harry Waddell understands that and has just what you need: He has personally written a special report that will give you a head start by answering many of your questions:
Knowledge is power, and that power will be yours for the price of a simple phone call: 304-263-4988. Just ask and we’ll put your personal copy of Harry’s report in the mail right away.
In that report, you’ll discover a wealth of information that will reassure you and help you decide on a plan of action. And if, after reading your booklet, you believe you do have a case, or if you would like help in deciding if you do, you’ll know who you can call:

When you call him, you will not be passed off to a legal assistant or a paralegal. Harry will personally listen to you and explain what he can do for you. If you decide to have him represent you, he will personally handle your case.
