Mark Jaffe recently won a case on behalf of a government employee who was wrongfully terminated, in part, for filing a complaint of sexual harassment against another employee. Initially, the employer determined our client's harassment claim to be unsupported. The subject of the complaint then filed his own harassment claim against our client. In that complaint, he claimed that our client's claim of sexual harassment was slanderous. The employer sided with the perpetrator, claiming our client’s accusations were false and that her actions were in violation of the government’s policy, leading to her ultimate termination. Mark Jaffe argued, in part, that this termination was retaliatory. Our client was eventually awarded a verdict which reinstated her position and status with her employer including back pay and benefits. Our client still has claims pending for sexual discrimination and retaliation against the perpetrator and the government entity before the EEOC.

Did any of you happen to catch Dylan Dreyer's story on the Today Show yesterday morning about her 3rd great grandparents? Our very own Office Administrator, Laura is a bit of a genealogist in her spare time. She is also distantly related to Ms. Dreyer. Laura shared her years of research with a senior genealogist at Ancestry.com who then passed this information on to NBC and Ms. Dreyer. Laura’s family tree, church records, and photos were utilized in the creating of this story. All of our staff are amazingly talented in so many ways!

The TODAY meteorologist traced her family tree to a strong woman who helped her family put down roots in America after emigrating from Germany.
