Filippatos PLLC: Fairness and Justice at Work

Leveling The Playing Field For Employment Disputes

At Filippatos PLLC, we fight to achieve fairness and justice in the workplace for you. Our firm consists of a team of dedicated professionals who strive to treat you (and each other) like family, because dealing with unfair and unlawful treatment in the workplace often puts you and your loved ones in a state of crisis.

During this difficult time, we believe you need caring and reliable experts in your corner. Acting as our clients’ trauma team, we enter battle armed with acute legal acumen. We are determined to right the power imbalance inherent in their troubled employment relationship.

Our team combines the prestige of decades of experience in the field with patience and compassion to provide you with highly effective legal representation. We forcefully leverage our advocacy skills to win innovative solutions that are both lucrative and restorative for our clients.

While many of our competitors prescribe their brand as the only approach, we reject this “one-size-fits-all” philosophy and instead strive to achieve a successful result that is most aligned with your unique needs. For example, some employment discrimination cases are best litigated in the court of public opinion, while others benefit most from private adjudication.

Simply put, it depends on each client’s specific goals and circumstances. We believe the client’s individuality and agency are of the utmost importance in determining the optimal solution for each case.

Employment Law, Litigation & ADR

Client-Centric and Result-Driven

Parisis G. (“Gerry”) Filippatos has personally led litigations and negotiations that have resulted in the recovery of over $70 Million for his clients collectively.

Having represented thousands of individuals in the workplace, and conducted over a thousand legal proceedings, including depositions, hearings, arbitrations, and trials, Mr. Filippatos views his role as an attorney to be part advocate, part educator, and part guardian of his clients’ rights in the workplace.

Filippatos PLLC is mainly focused on employment law and litigation regarding discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, racial harassment, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, sexual harassment, pregnancy, age, physical or mental disability, or protected leave status in the workplace.

At Filippatos PLLC, we believe that all individuals—from executives in the boardroom to shift workers on the factory floor—are entitled to fair pay, a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, and the opportunity to advance their careers without prejudice, restrictions, or limitations.

Equal Opportunity & Fair Treatment

Mr. Filippatos has dedicated his career to representing individuals against employers who violate civil rights laws to deprive individuals of equal opportunity and fair treatment. Mr. Filippatos and his entire team zealously represent clients by leveling the playing field in their favor.

In his 30 years of service to the legal community, Mr. Filippatos has represented clients from myriad walks of life and backgrounds to resolve all manner of workplace disputes, whether it be alternative dispute resolution (ADR) through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration; or traditional adjudication through litigation, trial, or appeal.

We Lead with Dignity and Respect

We at Filippatos PLLC are keenly aware that the client’s wishes should be paramount in the disposition of their case. We take our professional responsibility to facilitate sound decision-making on our clients’ behalf very seriously, and are relentless in the pursuit of justice.

We are truly driven to make a beneficial difference in the lives of our clients. While every case is different, we at Filippatos PLLC firmly believe that every client should be treated fundamentally the same—with fairness, dignity, and respect.
