Whistleblower Rights
Bay Area Whistleblower Lawyer - San Jose Office
The law prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers just as it prevents intimidation,
discrimination, harassment, and other unlawful practices in the workplace. If your
work environment has changed for the worse since you made a claim against an employee,
managers, supervisor, or owner of the company for which you work, contact me, Rutger
Heymann -
At the Law Offices of Rutger Heymann, I will aggressively protect your rights if you have been retaliated against or wrongfully terminated. I represent employees who were fired or retaliated against for:

Considerations for Public Employees - Timing is Critical
Public employees are often unaware that suing a government entity frequently requires them to file a whistleblower or tort claim in a much shorter time period than filing the same claim against a private employer. Timing is extremely important.
You Have Rights - Don’t Be a Victim
As a employment lawyer, I have often represented employees who have been mistreated at work, and then are fired when they try to stand up for their rights. If you have suffered in a hostile work environment, been discriminated against or singled out as a victim of sexual harassment, or mistreated as a whistleblower, then you may have a right to hold your employer accountable. If your employer retaliates when you stand up for justice, contact us to hold them accountable.
