🚨 When Religious Institutions Exploit: A Story of Labor-Trafficking 🚨

At Haller Kwan LLP, we've taken on cases that shocked us to our core. One client, an immigrant teacher, was subjected to labor-trafficking right here in Minnesota. Here's what happened:

➡️ A respected religious institution recruited her from abroad
➡️ They promised fair pay and benefits, but delivered nothing
➡️ She worked full-time for over a year without a single paycheck
➡️ When she developed a serious illness, they denied her medical care

We fought back, using:

✅ The Trafficking Victims Protection Act
✅ Fair Labor Standards Act
✅ Minnesota Whistleblower Act

The result? A substantial settlement that allowed our client to reclaim her dignity and start anew.

But our fight isn't over. Labor trafficking is happening in our communities, often hidden in plain sight. We must remain vigilant and stand up for the vulnerable.

The work we do is gratifying because we teach, counsel, and advocate in a way that gives agency to those who need to climb out of a bind feeling empowered.

Our best advocates are our former clients—who know the pride we took in serving them at a difficult time.

At Haller Kwan LLP, we often turn to our boss, The Boss, for wisdom on employment law. Recently, our firm had an important meeting with Mr. Bruce Springsteen in New York City; a few others showed up, too, since they also had purchased tickets for “Springsteen on Broadway” at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
