Attorneys Who Work for Oklahoma Employees
If you’ve been mistreated at work, we can demand the money you deserve
As an employee, you have rights. You should be paid for all hours worked, and unless you fit the legal criteria to be considered exempt, you should be paid overtime. You also have the right to a workplace free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. And you shouldn’t be retaliated against for exercising your rights, whether that’s taking FMLA leave or reporting misconduct in good faith.
Unfortunately, too many employers don’t follow the law, and too many workers are left to suffer in silence. Take your voice back with Nilges Draher LLC on your side.

Wrongful Termination
Oklahoma is an “at-will” state, but your employer still isn’t allowed to fire you for an illegal reason. You can’t be terminated for a protected characteristic such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, nor can you be fired in retaliation for a protected action like taking FMLA leave or reporting misconduct. If that’s what happened to you, then you have legal recourse. A wrongful termination attorney can help.
Discrimination
By law, it’s illegal for employers to treat you differently because of a protected characteristic: your race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy, age (if you are 40 or older), disability, or genetic information.
Harassment
No workplace is perfect, but every employee can expect a workplace free from unlawful harassment.
Medical Leave and FMLA
Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you qualify to take unpaid time off if you have worked for your employer for at least 12 months and your employer has more than 50 employees within 75 miles of your workplace.
Wage and Hour Claims
Under both federal and state law in Oklahoma, you should be paid for all hours worked.
