Re: Termination Due to Retaliation
Under the facts you described, you may have a case under state or federal whistle blower legislation. You may only have short time in which to make such a claim. Contact an employment lawyer in your area directly. If you cannot find one that suits you from the telephone book, contact the State Bar Association in Topeka and they may be able to guide you to an attorney in your area. Do not delay.
Good Luck
