This provides a lot of time for employees to witness potential wrongdoing from multiple angles.
When employees report or refuse to engage in illegal or fraudulent activity by their employers or are committed to exposing wage violations or instances of discrimination or harassment in the workplace, their efforts should be applauded — not retaliated against.
Our Los Angeles whistleblower attorneys provide sophisticated contingency representation for high-level employees across all private and public industries, sectors, and professions who have been punished for speaking up.
