At Bolek Besser Glesius LLC, we are employment lawyers. Our attorneys have more than 80 years of combined experience fighting for working men and women when their rights are violated at work in Cleveland and throughout Ohio. We have probably represented someone in your situation before, and we are devoted to justice for you.

The attorneys at Bolek Besser Glesius LLC represent employees in a wide variety of employment law matters, including employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, retaliation and whistleblower claims, overtime and minimum wage claims, and lots of others. We have been repeatedly honored for our skill, dedication, and ethics in the employment law field by the most respected and recognized attorney rating services:

Every year since the firm's inception, U.S. News – Best Lawyers Magazine has named Bolek Besser Glesius LLC a Cleveland “Tier 1 Best Law Firm” in the field of employment law. Tier 1 is the publication's top ranking, given to only a select few firms for “professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers.” Every attorney at Bolek Besser Glesius LLC has received the exclusive “AV Preeminent”® rating from respected attorney rating service Martindale-Hubbell. This rating signifies that an attorney's peers rank him or her as having the highest level of professional excellence and ethics. Ohio SuperLawyers Magazine has repeatedly named each of our attorneys to its list of Cleveland “SuperLawyers” in employment law representing individuals. The magazine has previously named founding partners Cathleen M. Bolek and Matthew D. Besser to its list of the "Top 100" Attorneys in Ohio. The selection process uses independent research and reviews from other attorneys, and is given to no more than 5% of the attorneys in Ohio.

While some attorneys purchase their so-called “awards,” we do not. All of our honors are earned. As proud as we are of them, our greatest honor is that many of our former clients—and even the attorneys we have opposed—frequently refer their friends and family members to us. If you need to vindicate your employment rights, we hope you will put that same trust in us too.

You only get one chance to vindicate your rights. Don't risk it with an attorney who does not have the experience and skill necessary to go up against large corporations and win. Hire an attorney who knows how to find evidence of discrimination, even when employers try very hard to hide it. At Bolek Besser Glesius LLC, that is what we do.

We are experienced in proving employment claims of all types, including age discrimination, race discrimination, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, disability discrimination, national origin discrimination, religious discrimination, as well as claims of sexual harassment, whistleblower retaliation, and breach of contract, among others.

Ridiculous… have a blatant disability discrim case with the attorney’s job already half done by me. Req for accom. denied etc. everything documented. No interest in taking my case unless I pay hourly. Seems if your case won’t bring in millions you’re out of luck. Only an advocate for disabled employees if they pay $$$ up front.
