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 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 5 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under Title VII, discriminatory.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
