Bullying in School

Minnesota anti-bullying laws prohibit any intimidating or abusive conduct that is directed at any student, including those based on a person’s race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, immigration status, sex, physical appearance, sexual orientation, including gender identity and expression, disability (and other characteristics).

Minnesota schools that receive federal funding are required by federal law to address discrimination based on certain personal characteristics. Although no federal law directly addresses bullying, in some cases, bullying overlaps discriminatory harassment when it is based on race, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), age, disability, or religion.

If you are a student (or parent of a student) who has been bullied, and your school has not taken prompt, effective action in response to notice of the bullying, call us to discuss your options. Consultations are free.

Testimonials

Lori is an amazing lawyer. She not only got me compensation for sexual harassment, but she made me braver, stronger and more sure of myself!

Other lawyers couldn’t figure out what to do with my case. Lori thinks outside the box. She got me a million dollar settlement for sexual harassment within 60 days of meeting me. She is creative and an awesome strategist!

Lori took my discrimination case even though it wasn’t a huge dollar one for her. But she knew it was huge to me. So she gave it attention like it was a huge case and got me money that I really needed.

A very powerful man sexually harassed me. I hired Lori and she recovered nearly a million dollars for me very quickly. I’m grateful for her help.

Lori took our case and it was a long, exhausting fight. But she won and got us over three million dollars for sexual harassment.

I love that Lori likes taking on the rich and powerful. Nobody scares her. She didn’t back down from a well-known, powerful man who sexually harassed me and she got me a fabulous resolution.

Kind, supportive, smart, compassionate, hard working, advocating, and genuine are some of the words I would use to describe Lori Peterson. I endured a very traumatic, personal event. I can’t think of anyone else to have had represent me and guide me through to a satisfactory resolution.
