A website devoted to wrongful termination claims under Minnesota law.
If you have recently been terminated from your job, it is easy to feel alone.
If you feel that you have been wrongfully terminated, you should investigate whether you have a valid legal claim. In general, under Minnesota and/or applicable federal law, it is against the law for your employer to discipline or fire you for reasons such as:
- race
- color
- national origin
- ancestry
- ethnicity
- sex
- pregnancy
- age
- disability
- religion
- creed
- marital status
- veteran status
- sexual orientation
- requesting or taking FMLA leave
- applying for workers’ compensation benefits
- receipt of welfare or public assistance
- membership or non-membership in a union
- union organizing activities
- membership or activity in a local commission
- “blowing the whistle” on suspected illegal activity
- reporting OSHA safety violations
- complaining of sexual harassment
- complaining of unlawful discrimination
- filing a charge or complaint of discrimination with a government agency
If you were recently fired, your employer may have offered you a separation agreement that requires you to release all legal claims against the company in exchange for severance pay. Before signing the separation agreement, you should consult with a Minnesota employment law attorney. By signing the agreement, you may be giving up valuable legal rights. After talking to a Minnesota wrongful termination attorney, you may decide to negotiate for a larger severance payment.
This website is sponsored by Trepanier MacGillis Battina P.A. law firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our Minnesota wrongful termination attorneys routinely represent employees who have been terminated from their jobs. We can walk you through the separation process, review your separation agreement (if any), negotiate for a severance package, and file a lawsuit for wrongful termination (if appropriate).
In addition, this website allows you to schedule an Initial Minnesota Wrongful Termination Legal Consultation and case evaluation. The consultation covers up to two (2) hours of legal assistance for the flat fee of $500. Please read the Terms & Conditions and contact the firm to schedule your consultation.
