About Whistleblower Law For Managers

Whistleblower Attorney in Dallas represents executives and employees in state and federal courts, handling issues that involve Whistleblower actions and non-retaliation rights.

Guiding well-intentioned whistleblowers through the legal minefield of corporate internal investigations -

For more than 40 years, Steve Kardell of Whistleblower Law for Managers has protected corporate executives from misdirected internal investigations, while simultaneously pursuing damages through whistleblower laws. Attorney Kardell's approach has secured major settlements for clients who were unnecessarily made the targets of difficult and draining internal investigations. Whistleblower law provides protection against employer retaliation. The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Dodd-Frank and False Claims Acts are several of the most important and influential federal whistleblower statutes in the United States. Typically whistleblower legislation is supposed to protect employees who report systematic fraud or wrongdoing from: Blacklisting

- Demotion

- Denying overtime or promotion

- Discipline Denial of benefits

- Failure to hire or rehire

- Intimidation

- Making threats

- Retaliatory reassignment

- Reduction of pay or hours

Unfortunately, all too often, corporations turn the spotlight of the internal investigation on the whistleblower, rather than on the alleged act itself.

A whistleblower complaint is nearly always accompanied by the launch of a corporate internal investigation. Corporate internal investigations present a legal minefield of potential problems for whistleblowers. This is one area of law in which it is crucial for an individual to seek counsel early. Not only can counsel hold a whistleblower's hand throughout the investigative process, but your legal team can also provide guidance and warnings regarding things that you should or should not do. An experienced attorney can provide you with a playbook of how to protect yourself and your livelihood throughout the internal investigation process. Drawing on over 35 years of experience, attorney Steve Kardell provides:

- Strategic advice: Many attorneys who advertise whistleblower services do not have a strong background in internal investigations or corporate Miranda rights. This can put them at a significant disadvantage in protecting their client by failing to influence the internal investigation and its focus adequately.

- A calming influence: If the spotlight of an internal investigation has been turned on you, you know that the way of life you have become accustomed to is in jeopardy. You may directly contact attorney Kardell - day, night or weekends - for clear answers. This direct access to him should facilitate your working relationship and calm your mind, so you can work together more effectively.

- Confidence you can trust: For more than 40 years, Mr. Kardell has counseled and advocated for high-level corporate executives mired in Kafka-esque whistleblower and internal investigation issues. He typically pursues a dual-pronged approach and defends you from misdirected internal investigations, while simultaneously making use of whistleblower laws to go on the offensive.

Dallas whistleblower lawyer Steve Kardell can guide you through the dual challenges of a corporate internal investigation and a whistleblower lawsuit.

Let our Dallas-Fort Worth legal team act as your beacon through the uncertainty Individually a whistleblower lawsuit and internal investigation are emotionally and intellectually draining.

Steve and his team worked tirelessly on my case from the minute I began communicating with them. We had meeting on the weekends and after hours as needed for urgent situations. They listened to me and valued my opinions and knowledge of my case. They were amazing to work with and would hire them again and again for any employment issues. Thank you Steve and Mary for the hard work you put in on getting my case resolved!

When I initially met with Steve he was both knowledgeable and realistic. My employer was a major global brand. He explained both the pitfalls to avoid and areas where we could enhance our success in the case. He met with me outside of normal business hours and was interested in learning the facts of the case. I think he tried his best to represent me.

I work in the legal department for one of the top 4 wireless communications companies in the US. I found my career under attack by management when I discovered the company was providing incomplete, inaccurate and dishonest responses to every type of legal document process requesting company records. When I was told to lie to a federal agency I drew the line and sought legal representation. I did not know Steve Kardell but through my research and speaking with him on multiple occasions I was comfortable and retained the firm for representation. It was soon evident I made a great choice and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Steve Kardell is a very professional and experienced attorney. I strongly recommend The Kardell Law Group for your needs.

We had a great experience with Steve and his firm. We faced a daunting task of taking on a school district over some tough circumstances and accusations that were false. He represented us diligently every day! In some dark days, Steve always had our back! Thank you sir!

Hired Attorney Steve Kardell

I hired Steve (&Mary) a year prior to finally quitting my employment, as a highly experienced and well-paid Manager of Safety in OSHA and FMCSA Compliance, with a highly unsafe Oil & Gas Services company. I had a rock solid STAA and OSHA Driver Coercion case with a year of documented evidence, discussions, photos and recordings. Steve repeatedly could not remember the facts of the case, didn’t pay attention during numerous recorded & transcribed calls, failed to follow thru timely on the OSHA investigation, which was promptly dismissed. I had to call, email and text repeatedly to remind him of deadline dates and request proofs of filing with ALJ to get court dates and worked steadily at night, weekends, calls with no notice or agenda, all to get to a point where Steve kept trying to convince me to continue pursuing the case well after I’d left the employer for a higher paying job. Steve then failed to protect my private health records and current employer, I was ultimately terminated!!

Hired Attorney Steve Kardell

BEWARE!! He destroyed my multimillion-dollar case!! He will take your money and disappear! Search find his other reviews, you will see he is a fraud with a nice website. My story is identical to others using the same verbiage with their scam as mine. He said I had a case and gave me a discount.. He refused to look at my actual well-laid-out fact of the case. Said he only needed the top five. He was telling me long stories and clocking them on his phone. 2 months in I wrote my own demand letter to get him moving. He said he was ready and I needed to make my second payment and then he would send it. His was misspelled, inaccurate and BAD!. Asked me if I was college-educated I said no. said he wasn't sizing me up but was! Then they disappeared compromising my case passing the statute. I am injured disabled and without a case because of Steve Kardell! and his wife running a scam on me! Oh and the TEXAS BAR DID NOTHING!!! I want to sue him for malpractice!! I need a real attorney!

Hired Attorney Steve Kardell

Hired this firm to get money owed me by a corporation I contracted to. After my payment was made I waited a couple of months, then started pressing to find out what was going on with the case. Several call attempts and 3 emails over about 4 weeks I finally got him to answer his phone. Comments made were didn't care about my case or documents I sent him to assist him. Told me to file a grievance and contact Donald Trump. Contacted TX Attorney Client Assist Program and he ignored them as well.
