Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Re: Disgruntled Employee slandering & trying to sue small business for sex disc

I, and my firm, represent both employers and employees in all manner of employment matters, including class action-type cases, and cases with large numbers of individual plaintiff suits.

In general, a group of 15-20 persons is not going to be able to certify a class action in any court because the group is too small -- though I suppose that if there are a large number of former employees that might increase the membership in the class -- though statutes of would likely bar many of the older claims.

That being said, a direct suit by 20 employees, or 20 separate lawsuits by employees can be costly and disruptive to business (as you are aware).

There are certain options to protect and defend yourself, but they depend on the exact facts of your case. If you would like to call and chat for a few minutes I would be happy to hear from you.
