Employment Law
Discrimination against an employee on the basis of ethnicity, gender, national origin, age, creed, or sexual orientation violates employment laws in Rhode Island. If, for example, an older employee is let go from her job solely on the basis of her age, this may be grounds for wrongful employment termination. The law firm of Wistow & Barylick has successfully litigated numerous employment law cases involving gender discrimination, age discrimination and police brutality. One such case resulted in a $600,000 settlement for a victim of a police beating in a local community. If you feel you have been a victim of wrongful employment termination or discrimination, please contact the employment lawyers Wistow & Barylick in Providence, Rhode Island.

Adoption Malpractice
Adopting a child is a life-changing decision and the process can often be time-consuming and fraught with emotion. Expectant parents need to rest assured that adoption authorities have given them all the information necessary to their decision. If crucial pieces, such as details about a child's physical or mental health, are withheld, serious injury and suffering can result for both parents and child. Wistow & Barylick is a national leader in the area of adoption malpractice law, having obtained the largest ever jury verdict in the United States ($3.8 million) for an adoption malpractice case and has settled others for more than $1 million each. If you or a loved one has been the victim of adoption malpractice, Wistow & Barylick may be able to help. Please contact our firm in Providence, Rhode Island.
