Missouri & Illinois Employment Law Attorneys

Employers also have to give their employees certain rights regarding their hours and benefits. For example, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guarantees a minimum wage as well as time-and-a-half compensation for overtime work. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantees employees of medium-to-large- size business the right to return to their jobs after taking maternity leave or sick leave. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) protects employees who have or who may earn benefits from those benefits being taken away in certain circumstances.

At-Will Employment and Discrimination Law

Most employment (particularly in Missouri) is at-will. That means you can be fired at any time for no reason. But this does not mean that workers have no rights. An employer can fire you for no reason—but not for a bad reason. In other words, if the firing is motivated by a discriminatory intent, such as racial or gender prejudice, it is illegal.

Here are a few testimonials from some of our clients.

“Ryan was great! He helped walk me through the process of appealing my insurance company. I didn't even know where to begin because insurance companies can seem too big to fight. He continued to help with every step of the process and was very responsive. I'm not sure I would have achieved the same results without his help. I would highly recommend this law firm.”

“Ryan Keane is an amazing lawyer. My experience with him was nothing less than great. He was extremely personable and really cared about me and my case and it showed. Ryan made an effort to keep in regular contact with me regarding my case and gave me a plethora of options in proceeding forward. I cannot speak highly enough of Ryan and the respect I have for him for helping me so kindly with my incident. I would absolutely use him again and I will recommend him to anyone I hear is in need of legal representation in the future.”

Shannise F.

“I spoke with multiple firms who said I didn’t have a case. Ryan Keane and Steve Duke took a different angle than any other firm. That led me to a result we didn’t believe possible. I couldn’t recommend this firm enough. Hiring is a personal decision and personally I couldn’t be happier.”

Craig S.

“Keane Law works hard for their clients and their advice is always in your best interest. Some lawyers recommend actions that will only increase their bill. Not at Keane Law. I have a lot of respect for this group, so much so, I always look to them first for representation, or even a referral outside their specific area of practice.”

Derrick F

“Ryan Keane represented me on a class action lawsuit in the City of St. Louis. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and diligent. He took the time to make certain that I had a complete understanding of the status and process of the suit, and kept in constant communication regarding the progress. Despite my limited understanding of law, Ryan treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism while walking me through the process. I was very pleased with the results that we obtained through Ryan Keane and highly recommend his services.”
