Employment Retaliation Lawyers Columbus, Ohio
What is Workplace Retaliation?
Retaliation is when your employer takes a retaliatory action against you, usually suspension or termination, because you engaged in a “protected activity,” such as reporting sexual harassment, opposing discrimination, opposing the failure to pay minimum wage or overtime wages or opposition to unlawful conduct performed by the employer (whistleblowing). If you believe that you may be a victim of workplace retaliation, contact a Columbus employment retaliation lawyer online or at 614.610.9755 for a free and confidential consultation.
Do you think you need an Columbus Ohio employment retaliation lawyer?
It is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for engaging in a protected activity. To prevail on a claim for unlawful retaliation, the employee’s retaliation lawyer must prove:
- He or she engaged in a “protected activity”
- The employee suffered an adverse job action, like termination, demotion, or suspension
- The employer took the adverse job action because the employee engaged in a “protected activity”
What should I do if my employer retaliates against me?
Contact an Ohio employment attorney immediately. Many legal remedies are bound by strict time limitations, so if you wait too long, you could forfeit your claims.
What if I oppose discrimination of someone else and my employer retaliates against me?
You are protected from retaliation. If you stand up for someone else who is being subjected to unlawful conduct, you are still protected. Reporting the unlawful conduct to your employer is still considered a “protected activity” even though you were not the one who was subjected to the unlawful conduct. It is important to make sure the employer has knowledge that you reported the unlawful conduct. Anonymous reports are not enough.

a weeks agoRachel and Dominick were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They got back to me quickly, whenever I had questions, which helped me stay calm during a very stressful time. Rachel was confident in her abilities and knowledge of the labor laws, and she was able to secure a settlement for me. If you ever find yourself in a situation that requires you take action against an employer, I would highly recommend the Friedman Firm. There's no one I would recommend more to be in your corner.

a month agoIf you are in need of an employment attorney, this is your sign to talk to Rachel and Jamie. Amazing!! They handled my case like the true professionals they are! They stuck to a strategy, even when it seemed like it wasn’t going our way and BAM! We get the outcome we wanted. I couldn’t be happier and I will always return to them if I EVER have an employment issue again. Thank you so much for helping me and my family!

5 months agoI needed an employment lawyer to work through a non compete. Pete at The Friedmann Firm was listed as one of the three best rated employment lawyers on a local website. I called him in the morning and later that night he was on the case and provided sound council through a very tense negotiation. Don’t take a chance with your career, reach out and get good council. Pete was very responsive every step of the way and delivered positive results. I highly recommend Pete and his Firm!

8 months agoRachel was top-notch from start to finish. She was responsible, professional, quick to respond to emails, texts or phone calls. She gives it to you straight, which I prefer! She thinks outside the box and is definitely the dog you want in the fight for you. She does not waste time and immediately dives right in to get the best results she can for you. I would highly recommend Rachel and her firm to anyone who wants to get the job done right, the first time, in a professional, compassionate and decisive manner.

3 months agoMy wife used this firm for a matter she had with her former employer. She could not have been more satisfied with their services. They were timely in responses, courteous, and very thoughtful. This was a difficult process for her and Pete made it so much easier by handling all of the details of her case.

Brandon Hoskins5 reviews
6 months agoI called them with some questions about my employment and Jamie was very helpful. I didn’t need an attorney to handle a case for me - only to help me navigate an issue I was having at work. She answered my questions and I felt she truly listened to me. I’d recommend this firm to anyone looking for an employment lawyer. Thank you!
