Partner Jean Hyams brought suit for wrongful termination in violation of public policy on behalf of a police officer who was terminated after he complained to his superiors that he had been unlawfully pressured to falsify a police report. By taking depositions of command officers up the chain of command to the level of chief of police, Jean gathered evidence to show that her client’s complaints were one of the factors motivating the decision to terminate him. Just days before a jury trial was set to begin, the police department agreed to a $475,000 settlement.
