True North Legal Group’s Approach to Workplace Legal Issues
A fundamental belief that we hold at True North Legal Group is that every citizen of Northern Michigan is entitled to fair, safe, and gainful employment. We fight for the workers of Northern Michigan, because we believe that satisfied employees lead to stronger communities.
Since our firm began, however, we have found ourselves working with many clients facing workplace legal issues. Here are examples of those issues and how we help to solve them.
Wage Disputes
Wage disputes between employees and employers can be complex and distressing. If you find yourself in such a situation, seeking legal counsel can significantly aid in resolving the matter effectively.
An attorney specializing in employment law, like the team at True North Legal Group, becomes your advocate, navigating the intricate landscape of wage disputes. We start by assessing your case, examining employment contracts, pay stubs, and relevant documentation to understand your dispute's nuances fully. Our experience allows us to interpret Michigan's labor laws, ensuring your rights to fair compensation are protected. We can then negotiate with your employer on your behalf, aiming to reach a resolution without resorting to lengthy legal battles.
If negotiation fails, TNLG can represent you in legal proceedings. We prepare a compelling case, presenting evidence and arguments in hearings or court, fighting for the wages rightfully owed to you. TNLG provides guidance and support throughout the process, explaining your options clearly and offering advice on the best course of action to achieve a favorable outcome.
Wrongful Termination
If you believe you've been unjustly dismissed from your job, seeking legal counsel is pivotal in understanding your rights and pursuing appropriate action.
At TNLG, we start with a robust investigation of the circumstances leading to your dismissal, to include examining employment contracts, performance reviews, and relevant documentation to ascertain if any labor laws were violated. Our knowledge of Michigan employment laws enables us to determine if your termination breached any legal protections or violated public policy. With this knowledge, we can advise you on the best course of action, whether it involves negotiating with your employer for reinstatement or pursuing legal action for compensation and justice. The team at TNLG can also represent your interests in mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings, presenting a compelling case supported by evidence and legal arguments. We guide you through the process, offering support and clarity at every step.
Ultimately, having a dedicated attorney in Northern Michigan ensures that your rights are protected, providing a pathway to seek redress if you've faced wrongful termination.
Workplace Discrimination
In Northern Michigan, instances of workplace discrimination can deeply impact individuals, their careers, and their sense of fairness. Drawing on our expertise in Michigan's employment laws, the team at TNLG can determine if discriminatory practices have occurred in your case after investigating the matter and examining factors like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. We can provide a clear understanding of your rights under state and federal anti-discrimination laws, empowering you with knowledge.
If you have a case of discrimination, we can guide you through the process of filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. We can also represent you in negotiations or legal proceedings, presenting a compelling case supported by evidence and legal arguments.

First, the team at TNLG can provide a safe and confidential space for you to share your experiences. We'll listen attentively, offering support and guidance while assessing the situation objectively. We can explain your rights under federal and Michigan state laws, outlining the options available to you.
