Committed to Protecting Employee Rights in the Workplace

We understand the issues that confront employees and workers in Minnesota. Our firm prides itself on defending employees' rights and fighting against employment discrimination based on race, age, gender, or sexual orientation. When employers discriminate or allow harassment and retaliation to take place or continue, we are dedicated to holding them accountable for their unlawful actions.

Our firm is also committed to protecting and defending whistleblower employees who report their employer's illegal actions. Employees cannot be punished for opposing or reporting their employer's suspected violations of state and federal laws. If an employer fired, demoted, or otherwise punished you for whistleblowing, we can help get compensation for that retaliation.

Defending the Civil Rights of Vulnerable People

If your child was abused at school or if your loved one was mistreated or abused in a state or private institution, we can help. We also represent children who are discriminated against at school or denied adequate programs due to educational or disability discrimination. For example, Minnesota's school age girls are entitled to the same athletic opportunities as boys, and all Minnesota children should be safe from abuse by those employed by educational institutions. We can help you hold a school district or private facility accountable for illegal actions and violations of your loved one's civil rights.
