Chey Powelson

Chey Powelson is an attorney with Powelson Law Office LLC. The attorney is also a member of the Washington Employment Lawyers Association (WELA), an association of employment lawyers whose stated mission is to enforce and advance employee rights. In addition, the WELA member directory lists the attorney under Wages and Hours, Workplace Harassment, Employment Discrimination and Wrongful Discharge / Public Policy.

Before you hire any lawyer, however, it is a good idea to confirm the license yourself. For example, you can look the attorney up in the lawyer-licensing authority for Oregon, which shows whether a lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Because we built this profile from public directory information, some details may also be out of date, so confirm anything important directly with the office.

Practice areas listed for Chey Powelson

The notes below explain each area of law in general terms. In other words, they describe the law itself, not this attorney's cases or results.

Wages and Hours. In general, this area covers minimum wage, overtime, unpaid wages and break rules under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and Washington's Minimum Wage Act (RCW 49.46).

Workplace Harassment. In general, this area covers unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic that is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment, and demands that tie job benefits to sexual favors.

Federal law (for example Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) prohibit it.

Wrongful Discharge / Public Policy. In general, this area covers firing an employee for a reason that violates a clear public policy, for example for refusing to break the law or for reporting wrongdoing.
