Human Rights Violations

Our attorneys fight for justice

Respect for human rights has been an essential part of our country for centuries. That’s why human rights violations are such a serious offense, especially if such violations involve the wrongful termination of an employee.

Knowing what to do in such a situation can be confusing. You know that your rights have been violated. But knowing what to do next might not be clear to most people, especially since many people have never dealt with such situations before.

Fortunately, you’re not alone. Our attorneys can help. At Klie Law Offices, our knowledgeable West Virginia lawyers have dedicated their careers to standing up for the rights of workers whose rights have been violated. We know how the legal system works and what needs to be done to make things right.
