Investigation After a Complaint

Making a complaint about discrimination or harassment is often only the first step in seeing a solution. Employers may be required to investigate your claims, and interviews are sometimes necessary. If you're concerned about participating in an investigation interview, reach out to schedule a consultation for guidance and advice.

Being the Subject of an Investigation

You have options as well as obligations, and working with an attorney at Berke-Weiss Law can help you best and most honestly respond to an interviewer’s questions.

Witness Interviews

If you were a witness or a potential witness to discrimination or harassment, you may be required to be interviewed by an outside investigator. If you’re worried about retaliation for participating, or if you’re just not sure what to expect, speaking with an attorney at Berke-Weiss Law might be the right next step.
