What To Expect From Your First Call

Your first call is confidential and focused on clarity:

We listen. You’ll describe what happened, when, and who was involved. We’ll ask targeted questions to identify potential legal violations.

We assess. We’ll explain which employment laws apply, whether your claim meets legal thresholds, and what evidence will strengthen your case.

We map your options. Do you want to stop ongoing harm? Pursue maximum compensation? Negotiate an exit? We’ll outline legal pathways, timelines, and likely outcomes for each.

You decide. If you choose to proceed, we’ll get started on your case right away. If your situation doesn’t meet legal standards, we’ll tell you that honestly and suggest next steps.

The Cost of Waiting

Minnesota employment discrimination claims carry strict deadlines:

  • Title VII (federal anti-discrimination law): 180 days to file EEOC charge
  • Minnesota Human Rights Act: 365 days to file a discrimination claim
  • Workers’ compensation retaliation: 180 days in some cases

Miss these deadlines, and your claim dies—regardless of its merit.
Employers count on employees waiting until it’s too late. We’ve seen six-figure cases evaporate because employees didn’t know the clock was ticking.

Don’t let your employer run out the clock on your justice.
