Even accurate reports can form the basis for a claim if the employer failed to abide by your procedural rights or if the termination, non-hire or other adverse action was because of an arrest or conviction record or garnishment action.</div> <bR> <div> Wisconsin law also provides some protections for discrimination based on arrest or conviction records.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Attorney Gordon Leech</div> <div> Rose & deJong, SC</div> <div> 161 S. 1st St., Suite 400</div> <div> Milwaukee, WI 53204</div> <div> Tel: 414-678-1681</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:gleech@attorneyleech.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:gleech@attorneyleech.com"><U>grl@rosedejong.com</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.attorneyleech.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.attorneyleech.com"><U>www.AttorneyLeech.com</U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
