As you can imagine, the police department did not like getting sued.<\/em><\/p>\n Case Type:<\/strong> Harassment & Discrimination<\/a> It was our great pleasure to represent a young Police Cadet named Jordan who was fired from the Kansas City Kansas Police Department shortly after complaining about having been sexually harassed at work. Jordan found our firm on the recommendation of former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> As you can imagine, the police department did not like getting sued. Over the course of this litigation, the government threw seven different defense attorneys at us. It also tried to prevent us from getting documents and other materials that should have been turned over during the discovery process. Undeterred, we filed a motion to compel the government to produce documents, which the federal magistrate judge largely granted. Consistent with our motion, the judge ruled that the government, by failing to comply with the rules, had waived its attorney-client privilege\u2014a highly unusual sanction against a governmental entity. If you\u2019re interested in the details, you’re welcome to read the Lawsuit<\/a>, the Motion to Compel<\/a>, and the Court\u2019s Order<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div> Because of our aggressive lawyering, we were able to achieve an excellent result for Jordan\u2014the government paid $200,000 to resolve her case. This money represented many years\u2019 earnings for Jordan, and she was able to use it to fund her college education. We\u2019re so proud of Jordan, and we know she is going to do great things in the future!<\/p>\n At Riemann Injury Litigation, every client gets individual attention, and our results speak for themselves.
