Your job is more than just a paycheck — it’s your livelihood, dignity, and future. When you face mistreatment at work, you don’t have to suffer in silence. At Herman Legal Group, we fight to protect employees who have been wrongfully treated, discriminated against, or retaliated against in the workplace.
Our team provides honest advice and aggressive representation in both state and federal employment law matters. Whether you’re still employed or have already been terminated, we’ll help you understand your rights and pursue fair compensation for the harm you’ve endured.
Were you fired unfairly? Not all terminations are legal. If your employer fired you for reasons that violate state or federal laws — such as discrimination or retaliation — you may be entitled to damages.
Common wrongful termination cases include:
We help gather evidence, negotiate with employers, and, if necessary, pursue litigation for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
No one should face bias at work. Federal and state laws protect you from discrimination based on:
Discrimination can occur during hiring, firing, promotions, pay, or job assignments. We hold employers accountable and seek justice for those treated unfairly.
Harassment is not just inappropriate — it’s illegal. Whether you’ve been subjected to a hostile work environment or unwanted sexual advances, we help you speak up safely and seek justice.
We assist with:
You deserve a workplace free from fear, intimidation, and abuse.
Employers are required to pay you fairly. If you’ve been denied overtime, paid below minimum wage, or had wages withheld illegally, you may be entitled to back pay and additional compensation.
We handle:
We pursue full recovery for every dollar you’ve earned — and then some.
Federal law protects employees who report illegal or unethical behavior from retaliation. If you’ve been demoted, harassed, or fired after speaking up, you have legal recourse.
We represent clients who report:
We help whistleblowers protect their careers and pursue legal remedies.
Before you sign any employment-related document, get legal advice. Employers often offer agreements that limit your rights without fair compensation.
We review and negotiate:
We make sure you understand what you’re signing — and help you negotiate better terms.
A toxic workplace isn’t just stressful — it can be illegal. If you’re being bullied, intimidated, or consistently mistreated because of your identity or protected status, you may have a claim.
We help document abusive behavior, file EEOC complaints, and pursue workplace justice.
In addition to laws intended to protect employees from workplace discrimination, there are also regulations meant to safeguard workers from retaliation. In Ohio, Michigan, and across the United States, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for reporting harassment or discrimination or participating in an ongoing workplace investigation.
Yet this doesn’t prevent employers from doing just that. Employers often retaliate against employees who they believe are causing trouble or bringing unwanted negative attention to the company.
This retaliation can come in many forms, including:
A severance package is a deal, and the deal is very simple: you, as the former employee, receive compensation and your former employer receives various protections. Usually, your employers will seek a general release of claims, confidentiality, or sometimes, an agreement that you won’t speak poorly of the company once you have been terminated. Put plainly, you have things your employer wants to buy when you are terminated and now you need to negotiate what you are willing to sell and and at what price.
Upon leaving employment at your company, you may be asked to review and sign a severance package that contains complicated, detailed legal language about future compensation and rights to take legal action against your employer. This agreement will usually state that you have been informed that you should seek the advice of an attorney before signing the agreement. It is recommended that you follow this advice and contact an attorney.
