For Legal Help with Employment Problems

CALL 651-454-5800

At the law office of Taylor & Associates, Ltd., we’ve been helping workers get justice for their labor and employment-related problems for 21 years. Employment law attorney Paul O. Taylor is a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association.

Taylor & Associates assists workers in all industries, including the trucking industry, health care industry and food service industry. We provide knowledgeable legal representation for the following kinds of employment law problems:

Whistleblowers Cases (Qui Tam)
At Taylor & Associates, we help workers who are or who may suffer retaliatory action from employers because they have reported on employer violations of laws or ethical practices that led to the government being defrauded of money or sold goods that were substandard. We handle environmental whistleblower cases.

Discrimination
We’ve handled cases for age discrimination, gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and sexual preference discrimination. We take cases under the Family Medical Leave Act, Equality Opportunity in Employment law, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, along with state fair employment practices.

Wrongful Termination
Although most employment in the U.S. is “at will” and either the employee or the employer can end employment without giving cause, there are reasons for termination that are legally wrong and can provide the basis for a lawsuit, including:

• Discrimination
• Violation of an implied contract
• To prevent the employee from receiving a benefit they have earned
• Labor organizing or unionizing
• Refusal to violate public policies (such as commit perjury) or for engaging in an action that is permitted (serving jury duty)

If you think you have been wrongfully terminated, you may be able to bring a wrongful termination lawsuit to recover back pay, front pay, emotional distress, attorney’s fees and possible re-instatement of employment.

Harassment 
Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination and is covered under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Harassment is behavior that interferes with the worker’s ability to perform their job by creating an intimidating or offensive work environment. The worker can be a man or a woman; the harasser can be an employer, manager, coworker, even a non-employee. Talk to an attorney at Taylor & Associates, Ltd., if you believe you have been the victim of sexual harassment on the job.

Health and Safety
We help workers bring lawsuits for workplace injuries or safety violations under OSHA regulations and the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (covering injured railroad workers)

Wage and Hours Disputes
We can help workers collect unpaid wages including any penalties provided for by law.

Weekend and evening hours available by appointment.
