Looking for advice on a legal issue in Nevada. Here's what happened.

fired for refusing to do something illegal. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 10 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The thing that gets people is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Yeah nAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

I keep hearing about cases like this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FMLA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct qualifying and covered.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Classic scenario honestly.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
