Maine Employee Rights Group represents employees facing illegal workplace discrimination under federal and state law. This includes discrimination based on disability, race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The firm also handles claims involving unlawful retaliation for complaints about discrimination, unsafe conditions, unpaid wages, or whistleblower activity. The firm enforces protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the False Claims Act, Maine's Human Rights Act, and Maine's Whistleblowers' Protection Act. Sexual harassment and workplace harassment claims form a significant part of the firm's practice, addressing conduct that creates hostile or offensive work environments.

The firm operates on a contingent fee basis, recognizing that most employment law clients cannot afford hourly legal fees. This means Maine Employee Rights Group receives a percentage of compensation recovered for clients, with the percentage varying by case type. Prospective clients are encouraged to contact the firm for fee details specific to their situation.
