Frequently Asked Questions
Henson Employment Law Firm represents employees in Knoxville and across Tennessee, handling wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and wage claims. We fight to protect your rights and secure fair compensation.
What types of cases do you handle?
We handle wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and unpaid wage claims.
How do I know if I have a claim?
If your employer violated workplace laws or treated you unfairly, you may have a case. Contact us for a free evaluation.
Do I need an employment lawyer?
While you can file claims yourself, having an attorney increases your chances of fair compensation and proper legal guidance.
What if my employer isn’t paying me correctly?
If you’re missing overtime pay, being denied breaks, or misclassified as an independent contractor, your employer may be violating Tennessee wage-and-hour laws. Our firm can review your pay records and help you file a claim with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development to recover what you’re owed.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on the type of claim. But it is important that you act fast and consult an attorney immediately if you think your rights have been violated. For example, in certain circumstances, you must file a claim with the EEOC within 180 days
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We typically work on a contingency or flat-fee basis, meaning you pay only if we recover compensation for you.
