Justice often comes in the form of money

When people come to us, they often say what they want most is justice. They want their employer to take responsibility, to acknowledge what happened, and to make things right. We want that too.

But in the world we live in, accountability often takes the form of money. When a company has to pay for breaking the law, whether through discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination, it’s a sign that their actions have real

consequences.

That may not be the kind of justice you imagined, but it’s often the one that creates change. Money is what gets a company’s attention. It’s how they measure risk, and it’s how they start to rethink the choices that led them here.

It’s also okay to want money. What happened to you has value. A settlement or award can’t undo what you went through, but it can give you the means to move forward, whether that’s rebuilding your career, taking time to recover, or simply feeling seen and validated.

Every case is different, and part of our job is helping you understand what a fair outcome looks like for your situation. And while no one starts out wanting to sue their employer, it’s fair to expect compensation for what you’ve lost.

At Stockwell Law Firm, we believe every worker deserves fairness, respect, and yes, justice. Sometimes that looks like a policy change or a new manager. But more often, it looks like a settlement or verdict that reflects both the harm done and the power of standing up for yourself.

Because when employers are held financially accountable, real change follows.
