Wrongful Termination

We are Columbus, Ohio Employment Lawyers committed to helping employees stand up for their rights.

Losing a job is a traumatic, emotional experience, often compared to the anguish of a divorce. Though Ohio is an “at-will” state, meaning that an employer can fire an employee for any time at any reason, there are many exceptions to that general rule.

The lawyers at Olsheski Law, Co., LPA, are experienced employment lawyers who can help you determine if you fall into one of the many exceptions to the “at-will rule” and whether your termination was a “wrongful termination.” Even if you have not been terminated, you may be experiencing discrimination or harassment on the job or wrongful denial of benefits.

There are many different types of employment claims, and determining whether the facts and circumstances of your case fall under these claims can be difficult. The experienced lawyers at Olsheski Law Co., LPA,, can help you answer important questions such as:

•  What is employment discrimination and have I suffered discrimination on the job?
• What is workplace harassment?
• What is the Ohio Civil Rights Commission?
• What is the difference between filing a complaint with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and filing a complaint in Court?
• Do I have a claim based on a disability?
• Do I have a claim based on workers’ compensation retaliation?
• Did I get the employee leave benefits to which I was entitled?
• Did my employer follow federal laws relating to the continuation of healthcare coverage?
• Can I apply for unemployment benefits and what do I do if my employer appeals my application for benefits?

We are committed to helping employees in Ohio answer these questions and to helping our clients navigate the oftentimes emotional employment litigation process. Some employment cases require employees to file claims in as little as 180 days. It is important that you contact the employment lawyers of Olsheski Law Co., LPA, as soon as possible for an employment law consultation.
