Summary
 How hard is it for legal professionals to stand up and fight for employees burdened with workplace retaliation and discrimination? Many times, it means going up against powerful organizations with plenty of resources, and there’s a lot at stake. Guest and California attorney Angel Horacek was recently part of a team that earned a $14 million verdict over a large investment management firm by representing a worker who suffered from workplace retaliation for speaking out about an abusive situation. Incidents of workplace discrimination, harassment, abuse, and retaliation are real, they happen, and they are against the law. But taking on bigger parties with deep pockets takes courage both from the plaintiffs and from the legal teams that represent them. Most people don’t want to be in a lawsuit, but sometimes, someone must stand up and say, “this is not right.” Horacek and host Tony Sipp dig into what it takes to fight back. “I love my clients, it takes so much fortitude to stand up for themselves,” Horacek says. Hear what goes into the planning and execution of a case and how paralegal professionals are vital links at every step.
