Legal Services – Members Only Service

The American workplace has become the subject of significant regulation by local, state and federal governments. As a result, busy professionals frequently need to seek out legal experts for advice and compliance assistance. Whether your needs occur frequently or only occasionally, as an MEA member you can pick up the phone and call a lawyer who will provide legal advice without any additional charge beyond the cost of your membership. No appointment is necessary. 

MEA’s Legal Services can assist our members in the following ways:

“We used Nancy for a case. She did a phenomenal job. It involved an outside contractor so it involved another company’s legal department. Nancy handled the case in an expeditious manner, to the benefit of all parties involved. I highly recommend Nancy for any employment law issue.”
