Attorney John Klassen

John is a determined advocate for employees in Minnesota. His vast experience has made our firm a recognized leader in plaintiff's employment law matters. Several of our cases made national and international news, such as the Minneapolis Fire Chief cases and the mass defamation case against Minnesota Power. Our cases have resulted in substantial positive changes in Minnesota's workplaces.

Our Employment Law Practice

Our firm is committed to helping employees fight against employment discrimination and harassment, such as age discrimination and sexual harassment. We know that these illegal actions occur in the workplace and we want to prevent them in the future by holding employers accountable. We also seek to stop retaliation for reporting discrimination or illegal conduct through whistleblowing.

Our law firm offers our clients personal attention and a hands-on approach to handling their cases. John thoroughly investigates claims of sexual orientation discrimination and racial discrimination to determine if the employer is liable for failure to stop it. If we find that your employer is responsible, we will negotiate compensation or represent you in court, if necessary. We have more than a decade of trial experience to help in your case.
