He adeptly represents clients from diverse backgrounds in litigation, mediation, hearings, negotiations and trials.

His areas of focus encompass various forms of discrimination, including sex, disability and race discrimination, as well as sexual harassment. He is experienced in handling cases involving retaliation, FMLA interference and retaliation, wage theft and unemployment.

Since Mr. Wetzel understands that litigation is best used only as a last resort, he frequently represents clients in situations where it is conceivable, but not optimal, to go to court.

Every worker, in his opinion, should have an ardent supporter.
