Practice Areas Description
- Employment LawOur lawyers have represented people from all walks of life, including hourly employees, physicians, attorneys, business executives, police officers, teachers and university professors, firefighters and government employees. We represent clients in critical matters such as workplace discrimination, wrongful termination, contractual disputes, civil rights violations, sexual harassment, wrongful death, and injuries to personal and professional reputations.
- Wrongful Termination
Involuntary termination-getting fired or laid off-is a difficult experience for any individual. Your job is important to you and your family and valuable benefits such as insurance and pension are often at risk. You owe it to yourself and your family to make sure you understand your legal rights. The Law Office of Marc Mezibov welcomes inquiries from individuals who believe they may have been terminated in violation of state or federal laws. Our experienced employment attorneys will be able to assess your situation and determine whether or not you have recourse against your former employer for your termination.
- Discrimination
Employment is essential to our ability to care for ourselves and our families. For many people, work gives life a sense of purpose and order. When people are stripped of their ability to make a living, they are deprived both financially and personally on a fundamental level. In recognition of these fundamental truths, both the federal government and Ohio state government have passed laws which prohibit employers from different types of workplace discrimination. As an employee or job applicant in Ohio, you are protected from the following types of discrimination: race discrimination, gender / sex discrimination, religious discrimination, national-orientation discrimination, disability discrimination and age discrimination.
- Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination that is prohibited by both state and federal law. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature which unreasonably affects an individual's employment or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment may constitute harassment. At the Law Office of Marc Mezibov, our employment attorneys understand that most people have to work and that simply "walking out" of an uncomfortable, stressful or even humiliating work environment is often not an option. We also understand that working in such an environment can take an emotional and physical toll on people that can be just as or more serious than loss of income.
- Employer Retaliation
At the Law Office of Marc Mezibov, we are committed to helping workers protect their rights. Our experienced trial lawyers handle a wide range of employment law claims, including retaliation claims. To ensure that workers feel safe invoking their rights under state and federal workplace laws, the federal government and Ohio state government have enacted laws prohibiting employers from certain types of retaliation, including: workers' compensation retaliation, FMLA retaliation, ADA retaliation, Title VII retaliation and whistleblower retaliation.
- Wage and Hour Law
Federal and state laws mandate the minimum wage that an employer must pay an employee and also require overtime pay (one and one half the hourly rate of pay) for certain employees who work more than 40 hours in one week. However, many employers attempt to avoid fully compensating their employees by misclassifying them as exempt or otherwise violating the applicable laws. If you are paid an hourly wage, your employer must pay you for every hour you work. This includes overtime and working through breaks or lunch breaks.
- Family Medical and Leave Act
The Family Medical and Leave Act is a federal law which requires mid and large sized employers to grant eligible employees up to a total of twelve weeks of unpaid leave during any twelve month period. Such leave may be granted for the birth or adoption of child, to care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition or to treat a personal illness or injury. Employers can violate the FMLA in several ways, including resisting or outright refusing an employee's legitimate request for a leave of absence. Employers are also prohibited from retaliating against employees who have either asked for FMLA leave or recently returned from leave. Such retaliation may come in the form of a denial of a promotion, reduction in wages or even a termination.
- Employment Contracts
Today's employees are often required to sign employment contracts with employers as a condition of hire, including: contracts for fixed-duration of employment; contracts for compensation, including bonuses and equity participation; collective bargaining agreements for union employees; non-compete agreements barring employees from working for competitors for a fixed period of time; confidentiality agreements; and severance agreements. These agreements may affect - and in some instances limit - your rights under a number of federal and state laws. Often employers will negotiate terms of an agreement - but only if asked. You can bet your employer has had an attorney look at the contract to make sure its best interests are protected. So should you.
- Executive Contract Disputes
When business executives and other professionals separate from employment, many potential contract issues arise. Corporate executives and professionals leaving companies are subject to considerable risks. With skilled assistance from The Law Office of Mark Mezibov, executives can be protected from the various problems involved in executive contract disputes. Business executives and professionals leaving companies are exposed to considerable risks to their incomes, reputations and future career options. It is essential for these executives and professionals to obtain help from experienced employment law attorneys.
- Civil Rights
The constitution guarantees individuals certain rights and freedoms, including the right to free speech, privacy and due process. If you believe that the government ― be it through the police, an elected official or a law ― has violated your constitutional rights, you need an attorney who understands this complicated and ever-changing area of the law. At The Law Office of Marc Mezibov, we are committed to protecting your constitutional rights. Our attorneys handle a wide range of civil rights cases, including: free speech/First Amendment violations and excessive force.
- Business Disputes

We handle all catastrophic injury claims, including: traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injuries and paralysis (paraplegia and quadriplegia), loss of limb, loss of vision or hearing, burn injuries and disfigurement.
