Attorney: Include Media Strategy in your Litigation Strategy. That's what employment attorneys Kenneth Katz and Nicole Grunfeld did in a whistleblower case.
Here's what happened:
"We wrote a letter to the employer outlining our client's potential claims under federal and state whistleblower statutes that protect employees from retaliation. Along with the letter, we enclosed a draft complaint and press release we would issue if the employer did not adequately compensate our client for the loss of his job.
The employer realized that it faced both strong legal liability for its retaliatory actions and a public relations outcry based on alleged health and safety violations. As a result, we were able to negotiate a settlement for our client that was worth more than a year of his wages."
Excellent work by the team at Katz Melinger PLLC on their strategic use of potential media outreach to achieve an outstanding result for their client. #mediarelations #litigation #whistleblower
