Annette Newman

At The Law Office of Annette Newman, PLLC - EEO LAWYER, I am committed to delivering professional, full-service legal solutions at an affordable rate across Florida. My practice is primarily focused on employment and labor law claims, which include discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, pregnancy, religion, and disability. I also handle sexual harassment claims, issues of unpaid wages or overtime, whistle blower claims, unemployment hearings and appeals, as well as housing and public accommodation discrimination, among other civil rights issues. In addition to these areas, I manage all types of employment agreements, such as those for independent contractors, non-compete, severance, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation agreements. I provide legal representation for both employers and employees in claims, offering employment law consultation, training, and legal advice for employers and small businesses at competitive rates. This includes management and sexual-harassment training, drafting company policies, employee handbooks, and handling unemployment hearings and EEOC position statements. My firm also extends its services to other types of civil law claims, including family law matters like divorces, legal separations, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and child support enforcement. Additionally, I cover small claims, business law, debtor/creditor disputes, collections, contract disputes, and more. As an experienced litigator, I have successfully litigated thousands of claims and represent other law firms across Florida as local counsel. This includes arguing motions, settling claims through mediation, and managing all aspects of pretrial litigation. I am also a Certified Florida Supreme Court Circuit Civil Mediator, offering mediation services throughout South and Central Florida, with a focus on resolving employment law disputes.
