Experienced Advocates: Protecting Your Rights in the Workplace

At Nichols Kaster, PLLP, we are committed to standing up for those wronged by powerful employers. If you are in Minnesota and believe you have been wrongfully terminated, our dedicated team is ready to guide you every step of the way. We understand the intricacies of both state and federal employment laws and will work diligently to ensure you receive fair treatment.

Understanding Wrongful & Unlawful Termination in Minnesota

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer illegally discharges an employee. In Minnesota, this can involve violations of anti-discrimination laws, breach of contract, or retaliation for whistleblowing. Our attorneys are skilled in navigating these legal nuances and will help you identify how these laws might apply to your situation.

One unique aspect of Minnesota employment law is its at-will employment doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees at any time for any reason, unless it is illegal. However, this does not mean that employees lack protection. For instance, employers cannot dismiss employees on grounds of discrimination or in retaliation for reporting unsafe work conditions. Our team will analyze your situation to determine if your termination was indeed wrongful or unlawful under these protections.

It's also important to note the role of Minnesota's Department of Human Rights in overseeing compliance with state anti-discrimination laws. If a termination involves discrimination based on protected categories, such as race, gender, or disability, we can assist in filing a complaint with this agency. By consulting with our team, you gain access to both legal expertise and local insights essential for navigating Minnesota's legal landscape effectively.
