Whistle-blower Lawsuits

Whistle-blower laws prohibit retaliation for complaints by employees to employers of unlawful activity.  Fraudulent acts as well as unfair and deceptive trade practices reported by an employee who then is subjected to retaliatory acts in the workplace, including harassment, unwarranted transfers and termination on trumped up performance issues, can form the basis of a valid legal claim against the employer.  Retaliation for complaining about an employer’s unlawful conduct is one of the most overlooked and under-reported forms of discrimination against employees.  Attorney Neil Henrichsen has over 25 years’ experience aggressively representing the rights of employees in the workplace, and knows the harsh treatment whistle-blowers can be subjected to.   He has provided legal representations to executive suite employees, professionals to line level employees.

Examples of acts that may form the basis for a whistle-blower claim may include, but are not limited to:

• Retaliation for reporting to company management unlawful acts by the employer;
• Retaliation for speaking with governmental authorities about unlawful acts of an employer;
• Retaliation for filing a written complaint or charge that a company is in violation of safety or health regulations;
• Retaliation for pointing out and raising objections about unlawful billing practices.
