Dallas Employment Retaliation Claim Lawyers

Legal Advice for Employment Retaliation Claims

Employment retaliation occurs when an employee engages in some type of protected activity and subsequently suffers adverse employment action. If you engaged in a protected activity, such as opposing discrimination or reporting an employer's wrongdoing to the EEOC and were punished for your actions, please contact Kleiman Lawrence Baskind Fitzgerald LLP as soon as possible.

Our Dallas employment retaliation claim attorneys can help you take appropriate action to document and pursue a retaliation claim. If you are an employer who is concerned about an employee issue, we can also advise you as to what actions are appropriate for your particular circumstance and how to avoid retaliation claims.

Representing Wrongfully Terminated Employees

Retaliation is currently a very hot-topic. Many times an employee will believe an employer's actions are wrong, such as discrimination or some other type of illegal employer misconduct. The employee will engage in protected conduct by reporting and then faces a wage decrease, harassment or even termination. These types of employer actions can be considered retaliatory. You have legal rights and should obtain a skilled employment law attorney as soon as possible.

Our employment retaliation claim lawyers are experienced in these matters and can effectively represent you throughout the administrative process, negotiations and if necessary at trial. Attorney Karen Fitzgerald is Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Generally, proving retaliation requires three things:

1. Employee engaged in protected activity

2. Employee faced adverse employment action

3. Employer took adverse employment action because of the employee's engagement in a protected activity
