Whistleblowing, Compliance and Investigation

Whistleblowing claims are becoming more diverse and extensive in the industry, ranging from health and safety in the workplace to reports of fraud by publicly traded companies. The federal and state laws offer protection to whistleblowers, and employers are at more risk, especially if they are contractors for the federal government. Slanderous accusations that involve top managers are always extremely harmful in terms of brand and, perhaps, monetary value.

Mijares Law Firm is equipped to handle the full spectrum of whistleblowing issues and retaliation claims. Regardless of whether you are involved in whistleblowing claims or internal investigations, Mijares Law Firm provides consistent, top-tier legal experience and client service across various jurisdictions.

Ensure your policies and procedures are up-to-date with a comprehensive review from Kristin Mijares!

Kristin did a great job in helping me understand a very complicated legal issue. She also advised me, beyond the scope of the issue, on business law matters in general. I would recommend her to anyone facing a confusing legal problem with their business.

Case Studies

Oil & Gas Executive

A company executive had to take several days of medical leave after his son suddenly fell ill. However, while on leave, his company suddenly fired him, claiming his work had recently been sub-par. The company’s excuse that they had not illegally infringed on his protected medical leave did not hold water, and it chose to instead offer a settlement not long after the case was filed.

Human Resources/Service Industry

A store clerk needed several weeks of medical leave after she suffered complications following a routine surgery. When she was due to return to work, her employer fired her, alleging she had failed to submit the required paperwork to ensure her medical leave was “protected.” Kristin Mijares filed suit for retaliation and wrongful termination and negotiated a substantial settlement for the clerk’s damages and emotional distress.

Business Counseling

Kristin Mijares counseled a prominent Dallas physician’s group on how to handle problem employees, complaints of discrimination or harassment, partnership disputes, terminations, or discipline. Ms. Mijares also drafted personnel handbooks, employment agreements, separation agreements and restrictive covenants. In addition, she handled the group’s employment defense negotiations and litigation and offered litigation support to in-house counsel.
