How a Whistleblower Attorney Can Help

Whistle blowing refers to when an employee risks their job by exposing misconduct or law breaking in their employer or another business, or risks their job out of compassion for another employee who has been a victim of the employer’s misconduct.

Under California law, as it is under most state laws, it is completely illegal for an employer to retaliate against any one of their employees when it comes to criminal activity, safety, discrimination, and whistle blowing.

If you have been the victim of whistle blowing, and if your employer is found guilty, you have the right to be reinstated into the company or business that you were fired from, you will be paid any wages that you lost during the time that you were fired, and you may also be entitled to benefits as well. Of course, the specific rights that you are entitled to vary by the case, but that’s where a whistle blower attorney can help you.

You’ll want to make sure that you hire an experienced Los Angeles whistleblower attorney who has worked on cases similar to yours in the past. You can choose to either go with an individual attorney with their own practice or an entire law firm. Of course, an attorney with more experience and how is more reputable will cost more, but they’ll be more effective and perhaps even more passionate about defending your rights in court. With a good lawyer, you’ll understand both sides of the law clearly and can navigate through the complex legal system.
