About Brad Karlin, Chicago Employment Lawyer
Chicago Employment Attorney
BRAD E. KARLIN J.D.
Born and raised in the Chicago area, Brad Karlin represents employees in workplace disputes throughout Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois. He founded Karlin Legal LLC to provide focused, employee-side representation in matters involving wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages, protected leave, workplace accommodations, and severance agreements.
Direct, Practical Representation
Clients work directly with Brad. The first step is a candid review of what happened, when it happened, who was involved, what the employer said or did, and which documents may support the account. Brad then explains the legal and practical issues that may affect the matter, including evidence, employer coverage, administrative filing requirements, deadlines, and the risks of different paths forward.
What Helps With an Initial Review
Useful materials may include a termination or discipline notice, offer letter, employment agreement, handbook provisions, performance reviews, pay records, schedules, emails, text messages, leave or accommodation requests, complaints to management or human resources, witness names, and any severance proposal. A short timeline of the most important events can also make the review more efficient.
Focused on the Right Employment Matters
Not every unfair workplace event is unlawful. Karlin Legal focuses on matters where the facts may connect an adverse action to a protected characteristic, protected complaint, legally protected leave or accommodation, unpaid compensation, or another enforceable workplace right.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.
