When you choose to hire a lawyer from our team, you gain a fierce advocate dedicated to exposing employer wrongdoing and recovering the maximum compensation you deserve.

Protecting Workers Against Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

Michigan is generally an 'at-will' employment state, but employers are strictly prohibited from firing workers for illegal reasons. Wrongful termination often occurs when an employee is discharged in retaliation for exercising their legal rights, such as filing a workers' compensation claim, requesting medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), or reporting illegal activities inside the company. Retaliation can also take other forms, including demotions, pay cuts, or reassignment to unfavorable positions.

At Fett and Fields, P.C., we have a proven track record of handling high-stakes whistleblower and retaliation cases. Our legal team meticulously investigates the circumstances surrounding your discharge, uncovers hidden motives, and builds a powerful case to prove that your rights were violated. We fight tirelessly to secure damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive awards to help you rebuild your career after an unlawful firing.

Combating Workplace Discrimination and Harassment

No employee should ever have to endure discrimination or harassment based on their race, gender, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or pregnancy status. Unfortunately, many workers suffer in silence because they fear retaliation or do not know where to turn. Hostile work environments often persist when management ignores complaints or fails to take corrective action against harassers.

Our trial-tested attorneys have successfully prosecuted landmark harassment and discrimination claims in Michigan. We secured a historic 10.5 million dollar class-action discrimination settlement against Ford Motor Company and a 2 million dollar disability harassment recovery against Jackson County. When you need to find an experienced disability lawyer or civil rights attorney who understands how to combat workplace prejudice, our firm offers the compassionate, strategic guidance necessary to achieve justice.
