Board-Certified Labor and Employment Law Expertise

This prestigious credential reflects his deep knowledge, trial experience, and professional reputation. Our firm represents clients in all aspects of workplace relations, from workplace discrimination and sexual harassment to complex wrongful termination claims.

Whistleblower Protection and Retaliation Claims

Retaliation against employees who report illegal practices, safety hazards, or financial misconduct is strictly prohibited. Neil Klingshirn has a proven track record of representing brave individuals in whistleblower claims and Qui Tam litigation under the False Claims Act. If you have witnessed corporate fraud or healthcare misconduct and need an attorney urgently to protect your career, our whistleblower lawyers will guide you through filing agency charges and safeguarding your rights. We fight to ensure that whistleblowers are shielded from retaliation, demotion, or wrongful discharge.

Fair Compensation and Wage and Hour Disputes

Wage theft is a widespread problem that can severely impact an employee's livelihood. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Ohio labor regulations, employees must be paid fairly for all hours worked, including overtime pay. Many employers engage in illegal pay practices by misclassifying employees as exempt managers or independent contractors. Our wage and hour lawyers represent individuals seeking to recover unpaid wages, unpaid overtime, and damages. We will analyze your pay structures and work records to reclaim the compensation you are legally owed.

In addition to his extensive work as an advocate, Neil Klingshirn is an accomplished arbitrator and mediator. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) offers an efficient, private, and less adversarial way to resolve business disputes and employment conflicts outside of a court. Whether you are an employee seeking a neutral mediator to resolve a contract dispute or a business requiring an experienced arbitrator, Neil's decades of neutral experience provide a solid foundation for reaching practical and fair resolutions.
