With a comprehensive understanding of employment and business law, attorney Ayesha K. Hamilton, Esq., has the ability to provide sound advice and counsel to clients who feel they have been unjustly terminated or retaliated against after reporting the misconduct of an employer.
Whistleblowers are Protected by Law
When you let authorities know about an illegal practice being conducted by your employer or company, you are considered a "whistleblower." Because the government values employees who bring forth legitimate information about fraud against the government or other illegal activity, laws have been enacted the provide incentive and protection to employees who report such information, when the information is justified.
State and federal laws, such as the False Claims Act, Whistleblower Protection Act, Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act and other whistleblower laws protect employees, or other individuals with inside knowledge, who report corporate wrongdoing or illegal conduct of a business such as:
- Sexual harassment
- Employment discrimination
- Tax evasion
- Safety violations
- Healthcare fraud
- Government fraud
- Securities fraud
- Other illegal conduct or corruption
Retaliation for Reporting Misconduct
Even with laws in place to prohibit it, whistleblower retaliation exists. Employees who have reported misconduct are "overlooked" for a promotion, denied a raise, demoted for alleged poor performance or even terminated. Our experienced employment lawyer fights for employees who have suffered as a result of whistleblower retaliation.
