Whistleblowers and Retaliation


Detroit, Michigan, Whistleblower and Retaliation Attorney

Legal protection for whistleblowers involved in internal company disputes over reporting illegal activity is a continually evolving area of the law. In the wake of the Enron scandal, many employees still fear losing their job if they blow the whistle on an employer for falsifying financial records or other forms of corporate wrongdoing. It is important for employees to know that laws exist to protect whistleblowers who report companies for misconduct, from corporate fraud or safety violations to criminal activity.

If you have reported misconduct by an employer, supervisor or coworker, employment law attorney Raymond J. Sterling will work to protect you from unlawful discrimination or termination by your employer.

At Sterling Attorneys at Law, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of employees, taking action against employers to help preserve justice in the workplace. In the past, we have saved people from unjust dismissals, but in the event we cannot save your job, we can pursue a lawsuit when an employer terminates you in retaliation for whistleblower activity. Contact us for a confidential consultation to discuss your case.

With increased publicity and media exposure surrounding corporate wrongdoings, juries will often punish a company when they feel that an employee was retaliated against for being a whistleblower. As such, it is vital to the public interest that employees step forward to help bring to light misconduct among the nation's corporations.
