@@RedDragonProtection I bet you do. And it’s amazing what lawyers can find after you give them a timeline of facts. Like I never thought that defamation can be a cause of action against an employer. Pretty wild.
As an employment lawyer, I can say this is an excellent description of the process. While the GOP / Chamber of Commerce and corporations will have you believe attorneys are taking frivolous cases -- that is simply not true b/c those don't pay any bills. For an employment lawyer to take your case, you have to have some facts indicating that the law has been violated and/or that you can potentially recover. There are far more potential clients than there are attorneys who do this type of work, so the attorneys are selective and the more successful ones are even more selective as to who they will represent. Remember, the attorneys is also trying to determine what kind of client YOU will make. Are you reasonable, can you discuss matters, what was your disciplinary record like at work, are you easy to get along with . . .etc. . . . Attorneys will pass on cases where the client will be an impediment to pursuing the good case.
@@myb7922 You assumed what I meant.. yet you keep going.. so again I never mentioned everyone in a suit I mentioned 90% of attorney's.. but I also have seen people in a suit work in other fields.. but it would be nice not to twist someone else's words.. just say you don't agree or understand what I meant..
I quit a commission based job. The company refused to pay me the final commission I was owed. I filed a lawsuit representing myself. The company paid up 98% that was owed to me the day before trial. Not that hard to do as long as you know the law.
Hey my boss has made my wife have a mental break like she needs HELP we live and work at a hotel he takes my whole check my wife's overtime and now we owe him 4000 dollars and he's doing so much shit to my fucking family that my hands are tied and when I snap I'm going to soon it's because I went to the hospital because I thought killing myself would make my family have less stress so yea also he made here believe she broke a law and makes her think like that everyday so she doesn't leave
@@k1997_1 well I was told immediately by the DHR in my area that they were backed up and busy and my mistake was I did not bring up sexual harassment because that is the only thing they take seriously - not ageism or racism - impossible to prove and I couldn’t find an atty, that took me a year, so do not hide any sexual harassment because otherwise you are quickly denied. 18 months later I was paid only for my commissions owed and I had to pay my atty 1/3(worth it) but the process telling your story over and over while your stories are clearly harassment- I was not paid anything and I was sent to Florida for a week and worked for free so I wasn’t going to let that go - they owed me thousands. I wanted a settlement for the grief and harrassment I went through but being I couldn’t find a willing probono atty I’m happy to say they were forced to pay me in the end for maybe a little more than what they owed me. I was the only one who had a record of my sales which was unbelievable…
I've just asked an employee law firm to take my cases of sexual harassment, workplace violence, bullying, threats, and retaliation here in Florida. I have emails, text messages , and camera footage ( employer's cameras) of each case happening to me. I've filed complaints with HR through the Ethics hotline established by my employer and to no satisfaction for me because I am still experiencing retaliation from the management over me wnd from coworkers who expressed their opinions about what happened to me. I have asked the law firm I'm talking with to accept my case on a contingency basis because I don't have the $750 retainer fee that they are requiring first. I feel, that if they believe they have a case, as they said to me by email, why do they want money from me up front? The company we are sueing will eventually pay the lawyers fees and me too.
Don't pay it! I ones paid a lawyer $700 for them to start the case and they called me back a few days later saying there is nothing they can do for me. My $700 went down the drain in a flash!
@@edhones I'm from Canada. What is your advice? Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums ever win.[
If you are in Pennsylvania and filing with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and/or EEOC try mediation. It is free and you have a chance to settle before spending too much time waiting. The other side has an interest in settling before paying their attorney to respond to motions, depose witnesses, etc. As always, talk to your attorney, I'm not one.
I am in PA and about to sue my old boss. I will not mediate because I want them to spend as money as possible before they have to pay me what they stole.
In laymen terms if you try to sue your employer for say... any type of discrimination, your work record better be absolutely spottles, never late, rarely call in sick, never go over on your breaks or lunches, be a good producer. In other words not have any excuse past or present for termination.
I win against my ex employer about 10 years ago i win because the company break the law and it harm me personaly and cause damage to my personal reputation ,, , of course i also have the prove and hired good lawyer to win it but it take lot of time and money ,,, that is my concern so if you not really have all of those dont do it just resign
I find it interesting how attorneys are able to say… this is not legal advice, then advise on the law”. It’s interesting how lawyers are able to use “semantics” to avoid dishonesty.
I work for an optometry office that is corporate owned. Corporate has given us clear instructions on over charging patients for lenses and features that are covered/or at a much lower cost on their insurance. I am wondering if this is considered theft by deception or fraud? Example: patient pays for a premium product- but in reality we produce a standard product- then give it to the patient. I have brought it up many times to my boss but it is always brushed aside.
How about an injury from the jab. The corporate office approved my religious exemption and I could work remotely (I did during the pandemic). But local HR refused to accommodate me and sent me home for 2 months. They ignored all my email inquiries as to why until I contacted the ethics office and then I just got a phone call saying they were not going to accommodate me even though my manager and senior management 3 times sent a request up the chain saying that they wanted me working remotely and it would not impact operations. Finally I complied and was injured quite badly. The CDC VAERS system has acknowledged my injury but the employer refuses to to acknowledge or provide assistance with my medical bills and treatment. Do I have a case? EDIT: all this after mandates were ruled unconstitutional by the way EDIT 2: I live in WA state in Kitsap county
@@ProSePlaintiff Christian Scientist are usually allowed exemptions and have had laws passed in many states protecting them from mandates.

Is it normal to sue an employer for (most likely) breaking an law even when it doesn't result in being fired? My employer is pressuring me for the login credentials to my personal social media accounts. This request is IMO most likely illegal under the Nebraska Workplace Privacy Act, but it hasn't caused me to loose my job or any money. I do feel like I need to resign ASAP though.
Get fired. Don’t quit. They can’t reveal you were fired, you can get unemployment. Honestly, stand up for yourself and put it in writing that that’s your personal account and you decline nor don’t have to share that information.
Great video, again, A*, thanks ! What about burden of proof, does the employee have to prove wrongful termination ? And the level is preponderance of evidence ? Or does the employer need to prove they had a right to fire, and have preponderous of evidence for that, or maybe even a higher level of evidence is needed for termination ? Or something in-between, like prima facie evidence, and then the other side needs to disprove matters.

Hi, what's the best employment law firm in Florida? I've been working for a company for over 3 years and faced many challenges, I would like to get some advice.
What if my employer is not in compliance in multiple areas? Does that come down to a class action? Do I have to be fired, can I sue while still employed? Lol
@edhones thanks my good sir. My company has been sued, and is very sue-able. They're a 3rd party "defense" contractor for TSA and violate many of the TSA's 3P compliances. Not to mention various local laws throughout the country. (They work at the major airports)
What if you don't get fired but they put me back in the same class room with the teacher I reported to HR. It's like a plot against me to get fired. What do you think?
i have a question i work at a school and i was hurt on the job for taking down an ex student (which was legal and they failed to keep the school safe when they knew it was an issue....the kid walked right into the school) he had a no tresspass letter. well i had to get a lawyer because they refused to pay me for my time of going to physical therapy twice a week for 6 months. i also have moderate depressive disorder as well as severe anxiety....ive been there for 8 years and a promotion came up for a better position....i applied for it but a coworker who had been there not even 3 years got the position when I had been there 8 years (with perfect reviews every year) i feel like they are discriminating against me for either the workmans comp suit i had or for my medical disability. any ideas on what i could do or do you think i have a case>
What about leaving the employer out of the lawsuit and going after the supervisor? after all they don't care when you sue the employer it is not their money in the first place.
❤❤ i always watch your video now I have a question I got e mail that waiting on court to give a time and date for my wrongful dismissal What does tentatively examination means
@edhones I received one but EEOC claims that I didn't have a case for them to file but they did give me a right to sue letter. Nothing happened. I couldn't get a lawyer. That job had a lot of connections, many of lawyers that knew each other. It was a childcare center at a church but many members had money. My name was slandered and when I spoke out I was retaliated against and later fired.
I've been in the company for 35 years. And I had a comander dress up with me for Halloween and it was disgraceful and it they made fun of me. I mean, is that a defamation a character? Can I do something about this?Please help me out.I'm just trying to find out answers
Can I sue my employer if they coerced me to disclose vaccination status? For background I work from home and come in zero contact with other people aside from digital meetings on zoom.
I've talked to a lawyer about suing an old employer, and they took the case. I haven't heard from them since I've given them my case information a month or two ago... Is it normal to not hear back from them until they reach a first settlement agreement?
You should be able to call them and get an update. Friend of mine did the same thing. They really didn't give him alot of updates once they got all the info they needed from him.
The more contact, the more time wasted/cost. It makes sense for a lawyer to use limited resources, it’s just a natural part of business. It’s also good if they charge by the hour
Suppose the defendant is silent and gives no response to the demand letter. It recently happened last week with a very large company. Why would they not respond or remain silent?? The injury is permanent per three doctors and I was fine before I started working, I also had heart problems due to the stress which I never had heart problems before. So why are they silent and didn't respond to the demand letter??!
I've signed the released form when I quit my job 45 days ago and the employer told me that i will receive my last pay check on the next payroll which was the following Friday and my escrow of a $1000 in the next 30-40 days. I haven't received anything until today. he has been ignoring my calls and messages. should i consider suing him?
I've been sexually assaulted n harassed. I went to every manager n they covered it up even lied to HR n sat in making sure I didn't talk. My boss is hostile towards me has been since day one. They thought I'd quit they underestimated me I've got recordings n text n notes I have witness too
Work 3hours i stay with pain survive in my neck my friends doing picture after poison go to my body i was close to death and after they call emergency when i talk with my lawyet i said i wanted personal injury but he talk with them and doing workplace to protect them i said sued company for negligence to let it me to work with pain surveys i said i can bring people who see me this day he said no bring nobody when i go to court i can change my lawyer and dont aspect what they offer i can cancell and taked another lawyer for injuries who protect me no them
Yeah I need to know about this I worked at jimmy johns in Alton area and my job didn't pay me for my hard work because we had a shitty manager and he didn't pay me for my shifts and I'm wanting to sue him because if I go in he automatically try to kick me outta the store before I even have a chat with him so how am I suppose to ask about my check if he ask. I need to call corporate because I need to talk to them about my check, but if I don't get paid I def know I'm suing because I'm not a slave and I don't fucking work for free!
I told my employer I would be reporting them to the ADA and they fired me the next day. I can't believe a attorney wont take my case. It's blatant as hell!
Good luck even finding an attorney to represent you. Even if you have a legal claim if they can't make a boat load of money easy you are SOL. Most will refuse you. Grifters and Greedy. They won't make enough money your case is irrelevant and too much work. Call the bar and they will not recommend any attorney unless you have $250 or more an hour to pay. You will get 211 number. Good luck.

My employees has their operations in India too but did not bother to care about me n now does not want to pay my full salary. Can I file a lawsuit against my employer that is in the USA?
I was terminated for absolutely bogus fabricated claims that HR used as an excuse. Was a toxic place, I'm honestly glad I'm moving on, but what they did was not right, so I'm seeking legal council. My best theory of why this HR guy I never met before seemed to have beef with me is that I'm quite an attractive guy, he was the 1 other guy in the building, all the other employees were women, and best guess is this guy was jealous and felt threatened like an old alpha wolf meeting the young blood, only thing that makes sense, but I don't think he knew I'm engaged.
I appreciate this. I’m suing DC govt for violating my whistleblower rights after cooperating with investigation. It’s all documented. My FMLA and policies in their DPM. They’ve retaliated against me horribly and it’s all documented. I’m a 23 yr employee, never been written up and still currently working for them.
Ed Hones...can you do a video on how to overcome an employer's reason for terminating an employee, when the reason is a lie to protect itself from the real reason they terminated against you, such as being treated differently and more adverse than another gender?
I'm beyond a demand letter I want no less than a million or more of possible. I'm emotionally drained n damaged I'm angry I don't want to live im angry at my wife it's destroying my life
I’m sorry you have to go through that. I currently going through the same. It’s been almost 2 years and it still has control on my life. I hope Justice is served.
Employment Attorneys do not, I repeat, do not take cases on a contingency basis unless they perhaps feel it is a slam dunk case.

Usually, you have to be fired to have a case. If the company is violating several laws, then you can bring several claims for each violation.
@edhones thanks my good sir. My company has been sued, and is very sue-able. They're a 3rd party "defense" contractor for TSA and violate many of the TSA's 3P compliances. Not to mention various local laws throughout the country. (They work at the major airports)
What if you don't get fired but they put me back in the same class room with the teacher I reported to HR. It's like a plot against me to get fired. What do you think?
i have a question i work at a school and i was hurt on the job for taking down an ex student (which was legal and they failed to keep the school safe when they knew it was an issue....the kid walked right into the school) he had a no tresspass letter. well i had to get a lawyer because they refused to pay me for my time of going to physical therapy twice a week for 6 months. i also have moderate depressive disorder as well as severe anxiety....ive been there for 8 years and a promotion came up for a better position....i applied for it but a coworker who had been there not even 3 years got the position when I had been there 8 years (with perfect reviews every year) i feel like they are discriminating against me for either the workmans comp suit i had or for my medical disability. any ideas on what i could do or do you think i have a case>
What about leaving the employer out of the lawsuit and going after the supervisor? after all they don't care when you sue the employer it is not their money in the first place.
The employer is usually the one with the money. But, some laws allow plaintiffs to sue the supervisor directly. It depends on the claim.
Is manipulating my hours I’ve worked to not pay me OT a justiciable reason?
Sounds like wage theft. Talk to a lawyer.
❤❤ i always watch your video now I have a question I got e mail that waiting on court to give a time and date for my wrongful dismissal
What does tentatively examination means
Can you request a right-to-sue letter anytime after the investigation?
EEOC provides right-to-sue letters. Certain states, like Washington state, do not require that process for state claims.
@edhones I received one but EEOC claims that I didn't have a case for them to file but they did give me a right to sue letter. Nothing happened. I couldn't get a lawyer. That job had a lot of connections, many of lawyers that knew each other. It was a childcare center at a church but many members had money. My name was slandered and when I spoke out I was retaliated against and later fired.
I've been in the company for 35 years. And I had a comander dress up with me for Halloween and it was disgraceful and it they made fun of me. I mean, is that a defamation a character? Can I do something about this?Please help me out.I'm just trying to find out answers
Can you recommend a firm that specializes in TORT cases regarding Federal Government?
Can I sue my employer if they coerced me to disclose vaccination status? For background I work from home and come in zero contact with other people aside from digital meetings on zoom.
Do you have office in California???
I've talked to a lawyer about suing an old employer, and they took the case. I haven't heard from them since I've given them my case information a month or two ago...
Is it normal to not hear back from them until they reach a first settlement agreement?
You should be able to call them and get an update. Friend of mine did the same thing. They really didn't give him alot of updates once they got all the info they needed from him.
The more contact, the more time wasted/cost. It makes sense for a lawyer to use limited resources, it’s just a natural part of business. It’s also good if they charge by the hour
u dont have a lot of time to file w thr eeoc or sue so I'd follow up to ensure your rights are preserved.
You should call the lawyer and check up on your case.
Suppose the defendant is silent and gives no response to the demand letter. It recently happened last week with a very large company. Why would they not respond or remain silent?? The injury is permanent per three doctors and I was fine before I started working, I also had heart problems due to the stress which I never had heart problems before. So why are they silent and didn't respond to the demand letter??!
Very insightful and helpfu.l 👏
The most important thing to remember about attorneys is THEY'RE ALL LIARS!
Never trust an attorney, even if they're yours!
I've signed the released form when I quit my job 45 days ago and the employer told me that i will receive my last pay check on the next payroll which was the following Friday and my escrow of a $1000 in the next 30-40 days. I haven't received anything until today. he has been ignoring my calls and messages. should i consider suing him?

What if you already pay your lawyers to do it and they fail to for you

Yeah I need to know about this I worked at jimmy johns in Alton area and my job didn't pay me for my hard work because we had a shitty manager and he didn't pay me for my shifts and I'm wanting to sue him because if I go in he automatically try to kick me outta the store before I even have a chat with him so how am I suppose to ask about my check if he ask. I need to call corporate because I need to talk to them about my check, but if I don't get paid I def know I'm suing because I'm not a slave and I don't fucking work for free!

Can I sue if I resigned but did not receive my PTO on my final paychec. I'm in NYC
Small claims court for this
Unfortunately, you can’t sue if you are in arbitration.
What if someone sues an employer, but they never worked for them.
Excellent video thank u
I told my employer I would be reporting them to the ADA and they fired me the next day. I can't believe a attorney wont take my case. It's blatant as hell!
Did they tell you it was because of your disability?
Good luck even finding an attorney to represent you. Even if you have a legal claim if they can't make a boat load of money easy you are SOL. Most will refuse you. Grifters and Greedy. They won't make enough money your case is irrelevant and too much work. Call the bar and they will not recommend any attorney unless you have $250 or more an hour to pay. You will get 211 number. Good luck.

My employees has their operations in India too but did not bother to care about me n now does not want to pay my full salary. Can I file a lawsuit against my employer that is in the USA?
I thought I would get a response, what happened sir??
Thank you
I was terminated for absolutely bogus fabricated claims that HR used as an excuse.
Was a toxic place, I'm honestly glad I'm moving on, but what they did was not right, so I'm seeking legal council.
My best theory of why this HR guy I never met before seemed to have beef with me is that I'm quite an attractive guy, he was the 1 other guy in the building, all the other employees were women, and best guess is this guy was jealous and felt threatened like an old alpha wolf meeting the young blood, only thing that makes sense, but I don't think he knew I'm engaged.
I appreciate this. I’m suing DC govt for violating my whistleblower rights after cooperating with investigation. It’s all documented. My FMLA and policies in their DPM. They’ve retaliated against me horribly and it’s all documented. I’m a 23 yr employee, never been written up and still currently working for them.
3:22 lol this sounds like extortion 😂
Love ❤️ the esthetic. So revenge of the nerds. So 1980s.
What about if you got electrocuted?
Big Mooney...
The EEOC is a big freakin joke!!!!!!😡
They dont help employees
i wish this video covered in mandatory arbitration in the process
Ed Hones...can you do a video on how to overcome an employer's reason for terminating an employee, when the reason is a lie to protect itself from the real reason they terminated against you, such as being treated differently and more adverse than another gender?
I'm beyond a demand letter I want no less than a million or more of possible. I'm emotionally drained n damaged I'm angry I don't want to live im angry at my wife it's destroying my life
I’m sorry you have to go through that. I currently going through the same. It’s been almost 2 years and it still has control on my life. I hope Justice is served.
👍👍
No one wants to take my case because its local government
You lose.
Thats what happens.
