Employment Law

WRONGFUL TERMINATION
A.K.A. wrongful dismissal, occurs when an employer fires or discharges an employee in a way which violates the employee's legal rights. Although the concept of wrongful termination is simple at first glance, it is complicated by the "at-will" doctrine, which states that an employee can quit or be terminated at any time, and for any reason, so long as that reason is not itself illegal.  Ohio, like most other states, has adopted the at-will doctrine, and restricts employees' ability to bring wrongful termination suits against their employers, even when an employment contract is involved.  This means that, in order to successfully pursue a claim of wrongful termination, evidence of more than just "unfair" treatment is required.


DISCRIMINATION/HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Although discrimination in the workplace has been addressed in many federal laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Equal Pay Act (EPA), it continues to be a very real problem in many workplaces.  Discrimination is the unfairly negative, harmful, or derogatory treatment of an individual based on criteria such as Age, Race, National Origin, Gender, Disability. Creating a hostile work environment is a type of discriminatory behavior which, though sometimes indirect, is just as illegal as other kinds of discrimination.  A hostile work environment can be created through the actions of virtually anyone in the workplace – peers, supervisors, and even customers. While commonly associated with sexual harassment, a hostile work environment may be the result of discrimination based on Age, Race, National Origin, Gender, Disability, Constructive Discharge.

​What Our Clients Are Saying

My experience with Seth Preisler has been remarkable. Actually winning my case was a long shot, but he continued to fight and persevere.  Thank you for all your hard work and the very successful outcome!
I could not be happier with Lou Chodosh. Other lawyers wouldn't take my case and I was referred to him and I won.  He really cared about me and my case.
I had a great experience with Chodosh and Chodosh.  After I meet with them the first time, I didn't have to worry or stress about anything.  I was always able to get a hold of him and if not he returned my calls right away.  A short time later I got a call that I could come in and pick up my check.
​My wife and I were talking about this last night and not sure how I ended up talking with you about my case, all I remember calling several other lawyers and getting the boot.  I’m glad we came across your office number. Thanks for everything Seth!
Outstanding job.
