Las Vegas Employment Retaliation Attorneys Protecting Whistleblowers and Workers Who Speak Up

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we are highly experienced in representing employees across Las Vegas and the state of Nevada who have suffered workplace retaliation after reporting misconduct or standing up for their legal rights. Our firm has successfully negotiated settlements, filed administrative complaints with agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC), and California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (FEHA), and litigated retaliation claims in court on behalf of our clients.

Retaliation is one of the most common—and most serious—forms of employer misconduct. If you were punished, demoted, transferred, or fired after making a complaint or participating in an investigation, you may have a valid legal claim under state and federal retaliation laws.

What Is Protected From Employer Retaliation?

Under federal laws such as Title VII, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the ADA, and state-specific laws like those in Nevada and California, employees are protected from retaliation when they:

Report or complain about discrimination, sexual harassment, or hostile work environments
File complaints regarding wage-and-hour violations or overtime pay
Participate in investigations, hearings, or legal proceedings
Report suspected fraud, unsafe conditions, or other violations of law
Make internal complaints to HR, supervisors, or upper management about unlawful conduct

Importantly, even if your report turns out to be legally unsubstantiated, you are still protected from retaliation if you acted on a good-faith belief that your employer’s actions were unlawful.

What Does Workplace Retaliation Look Like?

Retaliation doesn't always come in the form of termination. It can include:

Being passed over for a promotion
Receiving an unwanted transfer or undesirable change in job duties
Being excluded from projects or meetings
Experiencing a hostile or intimidating work environment
Negative performance reviews issued as punishment rather than merit

If your employer took any adverse employment action that could deter you or others from reporting wrongdoing, that action may be considered unlawful retaliation under the law.
