Whistleblowers
“Whistleblowing” is when an employee notifies the company’s supervisors or other management, or reports the company to a government entity or law enforcement, of illegal activities being conducted in the workplace.
California law provides many protections to whistleblowers, including:
- Prohibiting employers from making, adopting, or enforcing any rule, regulation, or policy preventing an employee from being a whistleblower
- Prohibiting employers from retaliating against an employee who is a whistleblower
- Prohibiting employers from retaliating against an employee for refusing to participate in an activity that would violate a state or federal statute, regulation, or rule
- Prohibiting employers from retaliating against an employee for having exercised his or her rights as a whistleblower in his or her previous job

Testimonial
I contacted Ms. Witt through a referral, when a contract issue and subsequent lawsuit surfaced regarding parental care. Over the course of several months during the handling of the case, she remained friendly, courteous and professional. She responded to questions promptly, and kept me well-informed regarding case developments and her communication with opposing counsel, via phone and also e-mail. I would not hesitate to refer/recommend her to others needing her expertise.
