Frequently Asked Questions
Oklahoma is an at-will employment state, but terminations are still illegal if based on discrimination, retaliation for protected activity, or violation of public policy. We evaluate whether your termination violated state or federal law.
Yes. We represent energy sector workers facing discrimination, retaliation, wage theft, and wrongful termination. We understand the unique employment dynamics in Oklahoma's oil and gas industry.
Generally, you must file an EEOC charge within 180 days of the discriminatory act (or 300 days if a state agency also has authority). These deadlines are strict—contact an attorney immediately.
No. Retaliation for reporting safety concerns is illegal under both Oklahoma and federal law. If you were terminated for reporting unsafe conditions, you may have a whistleblower retaliation claim.
For many employment cases, we work on contingency—you pay nothing upfront and no fee unless we recover compensation for you. We also offer free case evaluations.
