When you are facing a severe dispute in the workplace, your career, your financial stability, and your personal dignity are all on the line.

Founded by Barry Alan Johnsrud, our firm is exclusively dedicated to representing employees in complex employment law disputes. With over three decades of legal experience-including more than 23 years as a principal at a large national management-side workplace law firm-Barry brings an unparalleled, insider perspective to his practice. He understands exactly how companies evaluate, litigate, and settle employment claims. Whether you want to find an attorney to aggressively litigate a wrongful termination or need to hire a lawyer to skillfully negotiate a severance package, we provide the sophisticated, people-centered advocacy you need to resolve your dispute and move forward with your life. ⚖

Fierce Advocacy Against Discrimination and Harassment

Every employee has the fundamental right to work in an environment free from discrimination and hostility. Unfortunately, toxic workplace cultures persist, and illegal behavior often goes unchecked. At Johnsrud Employment Law Advocates, our Workplace Discrimination Lawyers are fiercely committed to holding employers accountable for civil rights violations. If you have been treated unfairly based on your race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin, we will meticulously investigate your claims and build a compelling case for justice. Furthermore, if you are enduring sexual harassment or a hostile work environment, our Harassment Lawyers provide compassionate support and aggressive legal intervention. We understand the profound emotional toll that workplace abuse takes on an individual. If you need to book a consultation because you are being targeted or retaliated against for reporting illegal activities or safety violations, we act swiftly to protect your rights, utilizing state and federal laws to demand maximum compensation for your emotional distress and lost wages. 💼

Wrongful Termination and Severance Negotiations

Losing your job unexpectedly is a traumatic event, but when that termination violates the law, it demands immediate legal action. Our Wrongful Termination Lawyers possess the analytical skills necessary to uncover the true motivations behind an unjust firing. Whether you were terminated in retaliation for taking protected medical leave (FMLA), for filing a workers' compensation claim, or as part of a discriminatory layoff, we possess the litigation experience required to challenge your former employer in court. Beyond litigation, Barry Alan Johnsrud is a highly skilled negotiator who frequently assists executives, professionals, and everyday workers in navigating complex employment contracts. If you have been presented with a severance agreement, non-compete clause, or non-disclosure agreement (NDA), we strongly advise you not to sign until we have reviewed it. We dissect the fine print, explain your legal standing, and skillfully negotiate terms that protect your future employability and maximize your financial exit package. 📝

Strategic Dispute Resolution and Litigation

The phrase ”Advocates” in our firm's name is a deliberate choice; our sole mission is to plead your cause and seek your desired result. Employment law disputes are inherently about people and the breakdown of working relationships. We recognize that prolonged litigation is not always the best path for every client. That is why we explore every available avenue for dispute resolution. Barry is highly adept at utilizing informal negotiations, strategic mediations, and arbitrations to secure highly favorable settlements quietly and efficiently, saving you time and emotional stress. However, when an employer refuses to act fairly, our seasoned trial attorneys are fully prepared to take your case before a judge and jury. We are not intimidated by large corporate defense firms; in fact, having worked at one of the largest in the country, Barry knows exactly how to dismantle their strategies. We tailor our legal approach entirely to your unique goals and risk tolerance. ⚖
