Fair Employment Project

Respect Every Worker

Fair Employment Project is a tax-exempt non-profit organization of attorneys, law students and worker advocates whose mission is to reduce violations of employment civil rights. We do our work with no taxpayer money. We have helped thousands of workers with nowhere else to turn.  Help us help them.   DONATE NOW

FEP welcomes cy pres awards.

Special thanks to these firms, which have recently designated cy pres awards to us:

Rudolph Friedmann LLP
Gordon Law Group LLP
Law office of Nicholas F. Ortiz P.C.  
Fair Work P.C.


FEP counsels Massachusetts workers of limited means about their rights on the job and the legal process. We collaborate with other organizations to provide affordable representation or other services, when possible. We offer appropriate self-help assistance. 

FEP takes a problem-solving approach to meeting clients’ needs. Workplace law is complicated, and there is a difference between how the law is supposed to work and the real-life choices people face when their paychecks and livelihoods are at stake. We help people understand the legal landscape so they can make better-informed decisions. 

If you need help: Call 617-902-0192 and leave a message. We will return your call and talk to you about your situation and your options.  Or e-mail a request for assistance. There is no charge for a telephone consultation or e-mail, but we do ask that you make a donation.
