Administrative Law Hearings * Civil Servants * Union Representation

Timothy R. Smith & Associates, L.L.C.

Agile Representation when Legal Issues Interconnect

Relationships between employers and employees are often complex and even strained. It is important to remember, however, that there are federal and state laws that protect the rights of employees.

Public employees and union workers in particular are entitled to job protections. The Constitution prohibits the government from taking certain actions against civil service employees' they cannot be disciplined, demoted, or dismissed without just cause. Union workers are similarly protected under many collective bargaining agreements.

The systems in place to protect the rights of public employees and union workers are complicated. This is why having an experienced administrative defense lawyer is important.

Protecting the Rights of Working People 

Contact Timothy R. Smith & Associates, L.L.C. in South Orange, New Jersey. Our attorneys work hard to protect the rights of working people through effective legal service that takes into account how one legal problem can affect your whole life.

Advocating for Public Service Employees

If you are a public service employee such as a teacher or police officer, you need an administrative defense lawyer who knows how the appeals process works in civil service jurisdictions. Our attorneys will represent you before administrative court hearings and before judges. We advocate for teachers who are charged with abuse or neglect through the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS).

Standing up for Union Workers

Contrary to popular myth, the interests of unions are not always identical to the interests of union employees. If you are a union worker, you need labor union representation to stand up for you when your collective bargaining rights are challenged in arbitration proceedings. We work with unions in many local, New Jersey companies.

Attorney Timothy R. Smith is a former police officer who was Union President of the Policemen's Benevolent Association.
