Retaliation

It is illegal to discriminate (retaliate) against a person who has opposed discrimination or harassment or who has filed a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.

Examples of illegal retaliation include (but are not limited to):

  • An employee files a discrimination charge and then suffers adverse employment action.
  • A tenant objects to sexual harassment by a property manager and is then evicted.
  • An employee is demoted because s/he refused to tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace.
  • An employee is fired for objecting to homophobic comments or for reporting racism or other discrimination.

If you feel you may have suffered retaliation for refusing to tolerate discrimination or harassment, call us.  We’ll evaluate your situation at no cost.

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.
