seeking "wrongful dismissal" legal advice
Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a fair Lawyer dealing with Employment/Labour laws.
Long Story short ,
Recently my Mom was terminated by her employer and after extensive research by myself and a good friend of mine we believe my Mom was wrongfully dismissed and targeted to be terminated by a manager that was transferred to her department less than 8months ago, she's been employed with the company for over 24years and no previous managers have has any issues with her what so ever.
Now they did pay her 8 weeks in lieu of termination and 'ive spoken with Employment standards alberta and they said that because they have already paid the severance that's all Employment standards would have really pursued, they advised me to seek legal advise as that would be the only next step.
Has anyone been in similar situations that could offer any information? and can anyone recommend and good lawyer and what something like this could end up costing to pursue?

Did your mom and the new manager have issues?

Isn't that a given:)

Don't quote me on this, but I doubt that would have any relevance in court. That is, your mom may have just "changed", or the previous managers might not have cared.
Best bet is to see an honest lawyer (lol) for advice. Most have free consultations.
