Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana

First of all, probably is too speculative to make any sound determination as to the weight of the evidence you possess. However, assuming that you have sufficient evidence to prove the claim and in providing this evidence would cause you hardship, then you should consider the protection of the Federal and State's "whistle blower's" statutes, which prevents the employer from taking any adverse employment action against you for exposing their violative acts.

Second is whether a lawyer can pay you for your testimony and information. A lawyer can pay a person for practically anything, however, the question of ethical behavior would become an issue and further, the lawyer would be jepardizing the credibility of his client's case as well as your testimony. The only people that are paid for their testimony are experts. It is more practical to think that the lawyer will depose you for the information, provided however, he/she is aware that you posses information determinable of the claim.
