A Long History Of Groundbreaking Cases

Our cases have received national and international press coverage in the New York Times, the Washington Post and the International Herald Tribune, and on public radio. Recent notable cases include the multi-plaintiff race discrimination case against the Minneapolis Police Department by high-ranking African-American officers, the sexual harassment and discrimination cases we handled against the former Minneapolis fire chief and the Minneapolis Fire Department, and recent trial victory on behalf of a decorated female firefighter who was demoted in retaliation for asserting her First Amendment rights. We also represented a plaintiff in one of the largest single plaintiff sexual harassment cases in Minnesota history.
