Subject: Legal Consultation Needed - Age Discrimination and Wage Violations
Dear Attorney,
My name is **** ****. I was recently terminated from my job due to my age, which I believe is a violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and Oklahoma Anti-Discrimination Act.
Additionally, I have experienced wage violations, including not being paid for overtime, not being paid for off-the-clock work, and being charged for lodging, all of which are potential breaches of employment laws.
Your professional advice would be highly appreciated.
Best,
