Facing a sudden job loss or a hostile manager can leave you feeling isolated and uncertain about your future. When your professional reputation is under attack, the power imbalance between you and your employer can feel insurmountable. At Emily Tyler Law, I help bridge that gap.

I am Emily Tyler. As an attorney with nearly 20 years of experience on the corporate side, I can recognize the signs of a manufactured paper trail before it is too late. I use that specific background to level the playing field for you across all areas of employment law.

Comprehensive Protection For Your Workplace Rights

In Michigan, employment law is a complex web of state and federal statutes. Managing these rules alone is difficult, especially when you are already feeling the stress of a professional crisis.

Whether you are a researcher, a tech professional or a health care staff, I can help you address a wide range of issues, including:

• Wrongful termination: Challenging unfair firings that violate your legal rights.
• Employer retaliation: Protecting you when a manager punishes you for reporting misconduct or safety issues.
• Whistleblower claims: Defending you after you speak up about illegal company activities.
• Sexual harassment: Holding a company accountable if you face a hostile or inappropriate work environment.
• Discrimination: Fighting back when you receive unfair treatment based on your race, gender, age or other protected traits.
• Disability and FMLA: Ensuring you can take protected leave or receive disability accommodations.
• Employment contracts: Reviewing and contesting your noncompetes and severance agreements.
• Wage and hour claims: Helping you recover unpaid overtime or wages lost due to misclassification.

Directly addressing these issues early helps prevent a simple workplace dispute from derailing your career.

Understanding Deadlines And Filing Your Employment Law Claim In Michigan

Many people are concerned about the timeline for taking action after a workplace dispute. In Michigan, your window for filing a claim depends entirely on the specific legal issue at hand. For many discrimination or sexual harassment cases, you may have as little as 300 days to file a formal charge.

Other claims, such as those involving wage and hour laws or breach of contract, often have statutes of limitations ranging from two to six years. Because these deadlines are strictly enforced and vary so widely, speaking with an employment law attorney early is critical.

Missing these state and federal deadlines can result in losing your right to seek justice, regardless of the strength of your evidence.
