The law office of John A. Klassen, PA, in Minneapolis, has been a determined advocate for Minnesota employees for more than a decade. John Klassen founded our firm in 1996 to focus on protecting employees’ rights, especially if they suffered whistleblower retaliation after opposing or reporting their employer’s illegal actions.
In many cases, whistleblower employees have heroically opposed or reported their employer’s violation of federal or state law or regulation, and were unjustly punished for it. If you blew the whistle and suffered retaliation as a result, we may be able to help you get compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, or punitive damages.
If you observed or believed in good faith that your employer was breaking the law and you opposed or reported it, and if you suffered retaliation for your whistleblowing, your rights may have been violated. State law — such as the Minnesota Whistleblower Act — and federal law provides protection for whistleblowers from retaliatory consequences such as termination, demotion, papering of the file, or harassment by supervisors or coworkers.
If your employer committed fraud against the federal government, we can help you pursue a qui tam claim under the False Claims Act.
For more information about the protections offered to whistleblowers, for help in seeking compensation for whistleblower retaliation, or to become a whistleblower in a Qui Tam/False Claims Act case, contact John A. Klassen, PA, in Minneapolis. We can be contacted by phone at 612-204-4533 or through the intake form on our Contact Us page.
