I was let go because of false accusations made my a third party from my job. My boss refused to pay me because of an outstanding loan because he applied it to that. I told him he can’t do such and I would file a wage claim. Once he received the conference notice he filed a police report saying I did something I never did. We just had our real hearing with the labor commissioner judge and yes I won however there are documents he attached to his side evidence and in an email between a customer and the company they are telling the customer that I no longer work their because I was stealing money from the company then the customer responds with I wondered why (my name) didn’t respond to my emails? This is ruining my reputation and is a flat out lie. I have never been charged with anything nor does any proof to such exist! My reputation and character is being stomped on. What kind of lawsuit is this?
You may have a claim for slander, or libel in this instance. Talk to employment attorneys, or personal injury attorneys about your potential claims.
The lawsuit would be for Libel and Defamation. You need to have proof of your innocence and it is very expensive to litigate. By now he has provided a lot of documentation that would be used against you in a court of law. Best of luck.
I assume you have collected all wages, penalties owed by employer. You most likely also have a Libel (Defamation) claim against employer, based on his derogatory writing to a third party, accusing you of a crime.
MORE INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL
I ASSUME YOU ARE USING A LABOR/EMPLOYMENT LAWYER AND THAT IS THE PERSON TO ASK.....
SH/E CAN GIVE YOU DIRECTION ON RETAINING A CIVIL LITIGATION LAWYER .......HOWEVER, IT MIGHT BE HARD TO FIND ONE THAT WILL TAKE THE CASE ON A CONTINGENCY
