Case Alert: MML featured in Law360’s “Employment Authority.”

MML represents Cynthia Wisenfelder, a former client relations coordinator that was illegally terminated by The Matus Law Group. Ms. Wisenfelder claims that, after being exposed to Covid-19, she inquired about working remotely and quarantining. Callously, the Matus firm responded by attempting to not pay Ms. Wisenfelder during quarantine, falsely accusing her of resigning from her position, and initiating an effort to replace her with a new employee.  Ms. Wisenfelder then tested positive for the virus, and five days after her return from quarantine, her employment was terminated for bogus, pretextual reasons.

MML managing partner, Matthew A. Luber, is quoted in the article: “As alleged in the complaint, our client was punished for requesting basic benefits information and a reasonable accommodation pertaining to Covid-19. Such retaliatory conduct is reprehensible and Ms. Wisenfelder looks forward to her day in court.”
