Carthew & Volkman PLLC

Discrimination Claims

Whether you have been discriminated against in the workplace on the basis of your race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability status, pregnancy, need for a medical leave, marital status, caregiver responsibilities, color, national origin, gender identity, or religion, we have the expertise to guide and protect you. 

Harassment Claims

Do you think your boss or colleague has crossed the line with you? There's no need to sit and wonder if anything can be done about it. Call our firm and we will evaluate if unprofessional workplace behavior has crossed the line and become unlawful and legally actionable. 

Retaliation Claims

Are you being targeted at work? Did you speak up, and suddenly your work environment got a whole lot more tense? What may qualify as unlawful whistleblower retaliation under state law is a lot more broad than you may believe. Don't wait and wonder, we can help. 

Employment Contracts & Severance Review

If you have been offered a severance or have an employment agreement contract on the table, and you need your own employment attorney to review the terms and consult with you, you have come to the right place. Reach out to learn more about our billable rates and fee structure. 

Agency Charges

Have you brought a charge before the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, the EEOC, or a local municipal agency like the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, and you are hoping to have a lawyer step into the process? We can help prepare written responses and provide limited representation throughout the agency process, including providing representation during mediation within the agency. 

Severance Negotiations

Has your work environment become untenable? Or, even if you are content, has your company approached you regarding the possibility of a severance? We can step in, advise on your options and help you negotiate a fair exit.
