Client Success Stories:

 

Employment Law: Retaliation

Two government employees were retaliated against, and baseless charges were made against them with the Michigan State Police. However, the Firm assisted the employees in defending themselves by providing the MSP with the facts and evidence, to contradict the false allegations filed by the government employer. The Michigan State Police closed their file, finding the “charges” made against the employees to be without foundation and baseless, giving the Firm’s clients a big win. Also, the Firm filed civil suits against the government on behalf of the two employees, to seek further justice in the civil court system for both employees.

 

Employment Law: Sexual Harassment and Wrongful Termination

A woman was sexually harassed by her boss at work. She was very upset by the harassment and so she made a report to the company’s human resources department about it. Unfortunately, after her report to HR, the company began “papering her file” with supposed “problems with her work,” even though she had always had good evaluations about her work before her report to HR. Then, within a few months, the company terminated her employment with no explanation or claim that she had done anything wrong that warranted termination. The firm assisted the employee with filing a lawsuit for wrongful termination and retaliatory discharge in violation of Michigan’s Elliott Larson Civil Rights Act, often called ELCRA, which protects employees from discrimination and harassment based on protected statuses such as sex, race, ethnicity, religion etc. ELCRA also offers protection from retaliation for opposing violations of the ELCRA statute (such as retaliatory firing of an employee in response to her/his objection to an employer’s unlawful harassment based on sex, race, religion etc). After filing suit, the firm was able to obtain a substantial settlement for the wrongfully discharged employee, so that she could move forward with her life and career in an efficient and supportive manner.
