Dedicated Employment Law Advocacy for Ohio Workers
Experiencing mistreatment or sudden termination in the workplace can destabilize your career, finances, and personal dignity. Located at 810 Sycamore St in downtown Cincinnati, Tod J. Thompson, Attorney at Law represents employees facing unlawful workplace practices across Southwestern Ohio. Whether you need to hire an attorney after being unjustly fired or find a lawyer to challenge persistent workplace discrimination, attorney Tod J. Thompson brings over two decades of dedicated employment law experience to confront corporate employers and defend your legal rights.
Wrongful Termination and Unlawful Retaliation
While Ohio adheres to an at-will employment doctrine, state and federal laws strictly prohibit firing employees for unlawful reasons. Employers cannot discharge workers in retaliation for reporting safety hazards, filing workers compensation claims, requesting medical leave, or blowing the whistle on illegal activities. Attorney Thompson investigates the timing and pretextual justifications offered by management, building persuasive claims to secure lost wages, reinstatement, emotional distress damages, and punitive relief.
Workplace Discrimination Representation
Every worker deserves fair evaluation free from unlawful bias. The practice represents employees who have experienced adverse employment actions due to race, gender, pregnancy, age, disability, national origin, or religion under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Ohio Revised Code. Attorney Thompson guides workers through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Ohio Civil Rights Commission processes, preparing each case for federal or state litigation.
Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment
Workplace sexual harassment creates intolerable professional environments that compromise victim health and safety. The firm advocates for individuals facing quid pro quo demands, inappropriate touching, persistent verbal abuse, or hostile work environments. Attorney Thompson takes swift legal action against negligent employers who fail to investigate complaints or allow predatory conduct to continue unchecked, pursuing maximum financial and reputational accountability.
Wage and Hour Claims and Overtime Violations
Employers frequently misclassify workers as exempt or independent contractors to evade overtime obligations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Ohio wage statutes. The firm represents employees subjected to off-the-clock labor, unpaid overtime, tip pooling violations, and unlawful payroll deductions. Attorney Thompson assists workers in recovering earned back pay, statutory liquidated damages, and attorney fees.
Severance Agreement Negotiations
Signing a severance release without legal counsel can permanently forfeit valuable legal claims. The practice reviews executive separation agreements, severance packages, and non-compete covenants. Attorney Thompson identifies hidden release clauses, assesses whether wrongful termination claims exist, and negotiates enhanced financial separation packages and favorable post-employment covenants.
