The Amlong Firm in Fort Lauderdale is one of the most credentialed employment law firms in South Florida. Our firm handles all types of employment law cases, including gender-based harassment, hostile work environment, wage-and-hour claims, age discrimination and other discrimination and retaliation claims. Firm founder and shareholder Karen Coolman Amlong is well known in South Florida courtrooms and among liberal Democratic and feminist circles in the state. Karen Coolman Amlong was the first woman to be elected as a state legislator from Broward County - at age 27 - and has stayed very active in promoting women's rights in Florida. Above all, we are trial lawyers. Our opponents know we are willing to try employment law cases, and we obtain settlements that are generally better than those obtained by lawyers with a reputation for being afraid to go to court.
