Whistleblower Retaliation?

Our experience as employment law attorneys has equipped us to advise and assist Californians facing workplace retaliation after protesting an inappropriate comment or filing a whistleblower report.

Overt or Subtle Workplace Retaliation

Workplace retaliation can take many forms. Retaliatory discharge after filing a complaint regarding discrimination or harassment harassment on the job is an obvious violation of state and federal employment laws. In other cases, retaliation is more subtle. For example, a salesperson may suddenly be required to satisfy new, unreasonably high quotas shortly after he/she reported or complained of suspicious, unlawful, or improper business activities.

Often, employees are unaware of the existence of an undercurrent of retaliation until some culminating event, such as a layoff, makes it clear that complaints about FEHA (Fair Employment and Housing Act) violations are deliberately being suppressed.

We Protect Clients' Legal Rights and Interests in Retaliation Cases

As proactive employment lawyers, Lederer & Nojima is able to resolve many employee retaliation cases through targeted advocacy.

However, if a retaliation matter can only be resolved in through the court process, our experienced litigation attorneys are ready to represent our clients zealously in that context.
