Employment Law in Chandler: Understanding Your Rights and Obligations
At-Will Employees in AZ
Arizona is an at-will employment state, which means that employers can terminate employees for any reason, as long as it's not discriminatory or retaliatory. Similarly, employees can quit their jobs at any time, without having to provide notice or a reason for leaving. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as if there is a contract in place that specifies the terms of employment.

I was incredibly fortunate to find Barton Mendez-Soto to help with a work-place gender discrimination claim. From the very first conversation I had with Jacqueline, I knew I was working with the right person. She took time to explain the process to me and answer the questions I had. In the many conversations we had over several months, she was always patient, caring and reassuring. Above all though, I was assured from the way she spoke that she is intelligent, informed and would work hard with my best interests in mind. Having just had a traumatizing experience, I was very worried that filing a claim would just add more layers to this trauma. Jacqueline ensured that didn’t happen; I always knew that she was on my side which was an incredible comfort. I am so grateful for their help and highly recommend this law firm.Previous Client

The Barton Mendez Soto team did an excellent job in supporting the establishment of the Classified Staff Association, whose mission is to represent interests of employees, at the Maricopa County Community College District. The entire team was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient as we worked to create this non-profit organization. I would highly recommend Barton Mendez Soto to anyone setting up and operating a labor organization - we could not have done it without them.
