Legal Protection for Those Who Speak Up and Face Consequences
Employees have the right to report illegal conduct, workplace safety issues, wage violations, discrimination, or harassment without fear of retaliation. When employers punish workers for doing the right thing—through termination, demotion, threats, or other adverse actions—that’s illegal.
Best Employment Lawyer has a team of experienced retaliation lawyers and whistleblower attorneys who stand up for employees who have been punished for asserting their rights or exposing misconduct. We serve clients across California and Nevada, offering strategic advocacy in even the most complex and sensitive workplace retaliation cases.
If you’re facing retaliation for reporting wrongdoing, requesting leave, or refusing to break the law, contact us today for a confidential consultation. You deserve protection—and justice.
What Is Retaliation?
Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer takes negative action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activity. This includes:
Reporting discrimination or harassment
Reporting workplace safety issues or violations
Filing a whistleblower report internally or externally
Participating in an investigation or lawsuit
Filing a wage claim or labor complaint
Refusing to participate in illegal activity
Taking family or medical leave
Common forms of retaliation include:
Wrongful termination or forced resignation
Sudden performance write-ups or negative reviews
Harassment, threats, or workplace exclusion
Demotion or denial of promotion
Schedule reductions or undesirable reassignments
Our team of employment retaliation attorneys will help you gather evidence, understand your rights, and pursue compensation for the harm you’ve suffered.
Federal Laws
OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program: Covers safety-related reports.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX): Protects employees in publicly traded companies.
False Claims Act (FCA): Allows employees to report fraud against the government and sue on its behalf (qui tam actions).
Our whistleblower protection lawyers help clients navigate these protections and build a strong case—even when retaliation is subtle or delayed.
How We Help Whistleblowers and Retaliation Victims
Our law firm provides full-service representation for employees experiencing retaliation or blowing the whistle on employer misconduct. We handle:
Retaliation claims under federal, state, or local laws
Whistleblower complaints to OSHA, the SEC, DOL, or other agencies
Qui tam (False Claims Act) lawsuits
Wrongful termination based on protected activity
Employer retaliation after FMLA, CFRA, or ADA requests
Confidential pre-litigation assessments and strategy sessions
Mediation, settlement negotiations, or litigation if needed
As your workplace retaliation lawyer, we focus on protecting your job, reputation, and financial future—while ensuring your rights are enforced.
Legal Remedies for Retaliation
If you’ve experienced unlawful retaliation, you may be entitled to substantial legal remedies, including:
Reinstatement to your former job
Back pay and lost benefits
Compensation for emotional distress and reputational damage
Punitive damages in severe cases
Attorney’s fees and legal costs
Injunctions to prevent future retaliation
In whistleblower cases involving fraud (e.g., under the FCA), you may also recover a percentage of the government’s recovery—sometimes millions of dollars.
Our whistleblower claims attorneys will guide you through every step of the process and work to maximize the outcome of your case.
Wrongful Retaliation Defense for Employers
We also represent employers facing retaliation or whistleblower complaints. A misstep in discipline or documentation can open the door to high-risk claims. We help businesses respond lawfully and minimize exposure.
Our services for employers include:
Internal investigations into alleged whistleblower reports
Documentation and policy review before disciplinary action
Representation in EEOC, CRD, OSHA, or DOL complaints
Legal defense in wrongful retaliation lawsuits
Training and compliance advice to prevent future claims
If your business is being accused of retaliation, speak to a wrongful retaliation lawyer before responding to ensure your next move protects your position.
