Chanfrau & Chanfrau has been named one of the top law firms in the Orlando/Daytona Beach area for Labor Law - Union practice in a ranking by U.S. News – Best Lawyers for 2018.

Chanfrau & Chanfrau was ranked as “Tier One.” Law firms are ranked in tiers, rather than sequentially, and there are three tiers in metro areas, according to the website, bestlawfirms.usnews.com.

Founded in 1976, Chanfrau & Chanfrau handles labor law from its offices in Daytona Beach and Palm Coast for plaintiffs and defense including contract disputes; discrimination; Family Medical Leave Act; overtime and wage disputes; sexual harassment; and whistle-blower defense. 

 Labor law has become a front-page topic with the advent of the #MeToo movement and the creation of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, a press release from the firm stated.

 “Much needed attention has been brought to the category overall as the paradigm is shifting toward what is right, just and fair for employees as well as for employers. We are here to help both navigate those sometimes blurry lines to ensure the best possible outcome for the betterment of both,” said Kelly Chanfrau, board certified employment lawyer and Chanfrau & Chanfrau partner. “The recent media attention has breathed new life into this important issue and it’s vital for businesses as well as workers to understand their rights.”

Chanfrau & Chanfrau is a personal injury and employment law firm serving Central Florida.
