Wrongful Discharge / Retaliation

Ohio Wrongful Discharge Lawyers

Under federal and state law, employees have certain rights regarding time off, medical and family leave, and disability. Additionally, employees may be guaranteed certain privileges or rights under the terms of a company’s handbook. When an employer fires a worker for exercising these rights, the employer can be held legally liable for losses suffered by the employee as a result. At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, our wrongful discharge lawyers initiate legal action against employers who retaliate against employees for taking a leave of absence, applying for disability benefits, or exposing company malfeasance. Our wrongful discharge lawyers are prepared to conduct our own investigation, review company emails, collect memos, and gather eyewitness testimony.

We put the law on your side so that you can fight back – contact the Cincinnati, Ohio wrongful discharge attorneys at Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC today.

Fired for the Wrong Reasons

The law office of Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC represents clients in wrongful termination cases involving the following:

• Discrimination
• Family, pregnancy, or disability leave
• Exposure of company misconduct
• Qui Tam (Whistleblower) matters

Check Your Employee Handbook

If you have been disciplined or fired, it is important to check your employee handbook to determine if a company policy was violated. In many cases, companies specify protocols and procedures that must be followed before an employee can be disciplined or terminated.

If you were fired without recourse to remedies specified by your company, our wrongful termination attorneys can help you seek damages based on the company’s violation of its own written policy. Examining company policies to their fullest extent, we identify terms and conditions that should have prevented our clients from being wrongfully discharged.

Taking the First Step

In order to determine if you have a case, it is important to speak with one of our attorneys as soon as possible. Any documentation or records you have will be important to provide as well. We will evaluate your case and explain the legal options available to you.
