About the Author
My name is Michael Brown, and I am an employee rights attorney at the law firm of Peterson, Berk & Cross. You can click this photo link to see my law firm’s video:
I practice in the areas of Employee Rights and H- Visa Worker Rights.
I assists employees and immigrant workers with matters concerning:
| Unpaid Wages | Fraud | H- Visa Wages & Fraud |
| Discrimination and Harassment | Unemployment Benefits | Wrongful Discharge and Whistleblowing |
| Employment Contracts, Severances, Non-Competes | Pre-Litigation Counseling | Employment Litigation (Federal and State Courts, Appellate Forums, ERD, EEOC, other) |
I have represented hundreds of employees with diverse jobs, backgrounds, and nationalities, and have helped them achieve positive results. This includes work in many legal forums, spanning from administrative hearings to federal trial and appellate work.
I have served as board chair of the State Bar’s Civil Rights and Liberties section. For several years I practiced law in Milwaukee before returning to Appleton (my hometown), and joining Peterson, Berk & Cross.
