In the event that a lawsuit is necessary, we will prepare the pleadings on your behalf that describe the facts in detail and explain how your employer violated your rights under the law. Evidence, such as documents, photographs, videos, emails, text messages, letters, all play a critical role in your case. We will make sure to gather all of the relevant evidence in preparing your case. Our team ensures evidence is preserved by sending preservation of evidence letters to your employer to make sure that nothing gets deleted or destroyed.

Even employees who incorrectly accuse their employers of wrongdoing may be protected under CEPA if the employee reasonably believed a law or clear mandate of public policy was being violated.
CEPA prevents an employer from retaliating against a whistleblowing employee. Retaliation includes termination, demotions, pay cuts, poor performance reviews, harassment and changes in employment conditions/schedules.
