Retaliation

Under federal law, employment protection and labor laws give rights to employees. If any employer retaliates against an action committed by an employee that is protected by law, employees can fight against retaliation. Unfortunately, there are times when employers will “get back” at you. If that's the case, you can consult Mijares Law.

Contact Mijares Law Office to take legal consultation and move forward to protect yourself against retaliation.

Ms. Mijares is an excellent attorney. She helped me with my work contract, addressed my issues and concerns, and did it in a timely manner. She was very thorough. I would highly recommend her.

Signs Of Retaliation

If you are facing any of these situations, you have the right to fight against your employer.

I will fight for you when:

  • Wrongful termination due to reporting wrongful activities or violations.
  • Employer retaliating rightful employee claims.
  • Denying opportunities for conferences, seminars, and educational benefits.
  • Excessive micromanagement for hostile behavior of supervisor.
  • Decrease in FMLA leaves, denying commission payments.
  • Regular pay cuts and losing scheduled hours.
  • Exclusion from meetings, training, and workplace social activities.

Federal and State Laws Protecting From Retaliation

Under federal and state laws, a retaliation lawyer can protect you through various laws.

Some of them include:

  • The Civil Rights Act of 1964
  • Americans with Disabilities Act.
  • The Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
  • The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).
  • The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA).
  • The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA).
  • The First Amendment.

Retaliation Claims and Compensation

When you fight against retaliation, on a successful verdict you become eligible for economic loss. The losses can include payments you might have received in case your employer has not demoted or wrongfully terminated you. Every case is different, so compensation and claims can vary case by case.

Sometimes employees qualify for compensation including lawyer fees through the verdict. I will discuss the issue in detail with you to guide you on whether you are eligible for compensation or not. From emotional damage to financial loss, retaliation claims can vary as per complexity. So, get legal consultation with a retaliation lawyer to find your way.

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.
