Harassment in the Workplace in St. Louis Park
Sexual harassment is an issue many employees will encounter at some point in their careers, whether they are the victim or a bystander. Sexual harassment can consist of inappropriate comments, gestures, requests to perform sexual acts, or other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. None of this behavior is acceptable and all would be considered sexual harassment in St. Louis Park workplaces.
If you’re the victim of sexual harassment and none of your coworkers or superiors have spoken up, you likely feel vulnerable and alienated in the workplace. Your superiors are required to take steps to remedy the harassment, so if your concerns have gone ignored, you may have a legal case. Our sexual harassment lawyers in St. Louis Park will help you determine whether the legal definition of sexual harassment has occurred and how to proceed from a legal perspective.
St. Louis Park Wrongful Termination Lawyers
Retaliation often occurs after an employee files a worker’s compensation claim, reports illegal conduct, or supports a coworker’s complaint of discrimination or harassment without the support of their managers or the business owners. This discrimination may come in the form of poor performance reviews, suspensions, or termination.
If you’re an employee who was wrongfully terminated or retaliated against, our St. Louis Park employment lawyers are at your service. The key to a successful retaliation claim is proving the connection between adverse employer action and conduct by an employee. We collect this evidence in preparation for litigation, but in many instances this information ends up being leveraged to negotiate a severance package that reflects fair compensation for the employee. Our Edina workplace retaliation lawyers take on cases we’re confident we’ll win. We’re prepared to advocate for you whether your case ends in negotiation or litigation.
St. Louis Park Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination can occur at any time and covers a number of protected classes. A potential or current employer may not discriminate against you based on age, gender, sexual orientation, or if you’ve taken pregnancy or disability leave. Discrimination often consists of demotions or pay cuts, failure to make reasonable accommodations, or choosing not to hire a potential employee based on their protected status.
Our law firm has an established record of success in workplace discrimination claims against employers of all sizes, including employers in St. Louis Park. We don’t take on discrimination cases unless we’re confident your situation meets the legal standard of discrimination, so you can be sure we’re prepared to put our all into advocating for you.

I needed a review of my severance agreement before I would sign it, and most employement law firms told me it would not be worth their time to review it. Schaefer Hallen, LLC, called me personally after I sent a query and told me that they definitely understood why I would request a review. They... assigned an attorney and she spent a full half hour with me, so I felt comfortable signing and sending it it. She answered my questions thoroughly. I was quite pleased with the experience, and the fee was reasonable, too.read more

I cannot recommend Schaefer Halleen highly enough. I had a particularly hard employment issue and I found the people at S.H. to be excellent to work with. They are all very professional, very intelligent, handled me and my situation with care and always kept me up to date on where my case was at.... In the rare instance when I contacted them by either phone or email I received a near immediate response.I was always made to feel that I was important and I always felt I was being given advice I could trust. At the end of the day my case was settled in a very timely manor and I am very pleased with how it turned out.Finally, the lawyers and staff at S.H. are some of the most experienced people in their industry and I was very impressed with their past accomplishments.

It is with great pleasure that I write this for Mr Schaefer and his capable people comprised of talent and empathy. I had a fear of Attorneys (due to my own weakness, no disrespect to the legal profession), but I felt pleasantly surprised after my visit to his firm located in the heart of... Minneapolis - my home city that I am passionate about. Larry's office emblomized everything that I look for. The attorneys, the administrative staff, the decor, it all felt "happy" and "inter-connected". I had thought my case was too too hard to understand by others, however due to Larry's brilliance and savvy, it became evident to me that he understood it very well. He had a clear line of action and a resolve to seek justice with ethics. That was all that I desired. I hope Larry's office continues to serve the disability community, that it prospers, grows, and makes Minneapolis the best city in the world.read more

I am very thankful to Larry for helping me through a very difficult time of my life. My former employer discriminated against me and treated me very badly and I was forced to resign to end my struggle with this employer. I did not know what to do or who I can find to help me getting through this... and restore my reputation and my employment. I met with several layers prior to my meeting with Larry and I can tell the difference immediately when I engaged with him. Larry told me what will happen in the first meeting and despite my process took several months, he was able to predict the successful outcome just through listening to me in that very first meeting. He has complete understanding of all employment related issues, he is focused and dedicated to help his clients getting back on track. His strategic thinking and the steps he made were the key to success. He also has a wonderful team that are just the right team to help. Quick response and timely feedback about what is going on with the case so you are always in the loop with the next step. Now I moved on to a new and a better employer and I feel I am beginning a new and a good chapter in my life, and I feel I can't thank Larry or his wonderful team enough for what they did to me and how they supported me to get through probably the worst chapter in my life.Thank you Larryread more

Larry truly went above and beyond. In each step of the case, he made sure I was aware of what was happening and the next steps. He called frequently, and followed my choices, making sure that I felt in control. I never felt like a victim, or less- he helped inspire me to fight for what I needed and... deserved. If I had to go through it again, no questions asked, I would want Larry by my side every step of the way. His team is well organized, efficient, kind and discrete. I am forever grateful that Schaefer Halleen represented me, and I highly suggest them for any and all people who need empowering representation.read more

Larry and his team at Schaefer Halleen helped bring to resolution issues at the workplace in an amicable manner. When I first approached Larry, I was not even sure what steps to take, what to do, did not even know if I needed a lawyer, or why I needed a lawyer. All I knew was that friends and... colleagues told me to reach out to a lawyer. And when I asked around, his name and his firm's name kept on being mentioned by many. And the reputation was well deserved.Larry patiently and deliberately listened to my story, and then explained to me exactly why I needed a lawyer, and how he could help me. Immediately he laid out the plan about how to proceed. Instantly I was put at ease. Throughout a very long process, he provided me advice and guidance and was always willing to talk to me on the phone, whenever there were either updates, or I had questions and concerns.I am absolutely certain that I would had not been able to reach the resolution without Larry's and his team's steadfast guidance, advice, and impressive work. I recommend Larry and his firm unconditionally - the very best in the field.John C. Styliaras MD,MSread more
