Protect Your Rights and Your Future in an Employment Dispute

You know about employers getting sued by employees for multiple kinds of harassment, discrimination or other mistreatment in the workplace.

But what if your employer or former employer handed YOU a lawsuit? What do you do then?

It may get less attention, but employers can sue employees accusing them of violating agreements or crossing legal lines to harm the company.

An employer may sue to get monetary compensation from you, to bar you from a certain activity, or even just to show other employees that the organization cracks down on perceived misbehavior.

But you can defend yourself, your finances, and your future opportunities by working with a skilled Ohio employment lawyer from Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal.

We have offices in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton. Our employment attorneys stand up for people in disputes with employers in every corner of the state. We’ve been helping Ohioans for over 40 years.

“Helping me, that’s HNB.”

    Situations Where You Might Be Sued by an Employer

    A current or former employer might sue to demand compensation or other penalties for these kinds of infractions:

    • Breaching fiduciary duty
    • Defaming the employer
    • Stealing trade secrets
    • Violating hiring and employment agreements
    • Violating non-compete clauses
    • Violating non-disclosure agreements
    • Violating non-solicitation agreements
    • Violating severance agreements
    • Violating some other contract provision

    This is a common kind of case people bring to the employment lawyers at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal:

    You received a signing bonus when you were hired. Later, your employer accuses you of failing to meet the requirements of the bonus, which could include working for a certain amount of time or developing a certain area of business.

    They want you to pay back the bonus money. But you disagree that you didn’t satisfy the requirements to get it.
