Clark Will, Attorney

Rights of service members are protected by federal law. Our employee rights attorneys have experience with service members who suffered from employee discrimination, employment retaliation and wrongful discharge, all of which are actionable offenses. This is true whether someone is a past, present or perspective service member. An employer may not refuse to hire, promote, reemploy or provide employee benefits because of service member status.

Two federal laws, the Uniformed Services Employee Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), and the Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA), protect service members against illegal actions relating to their employment and otherwise.

Kilgore & Kilgore has represented many service members. Many of our lawyers were in the military or have close family members in the armed services. We are very sensitive to the wrongfulness of adverse employment actions and other actions against service members.

Military personnel have the right to be reemployed in their former or comparable jobs. Employers must also provide the benefits a service member would have received had she or he not served.
