Now you're wondering if you even have a case — or if you're just wasting your time.

This checklist helps you figure that out in 2 minutes.

"I won $40,000 against a major corporation as a warehouse worker—without a lawyer."

This Checklist Is For You If..

This Is For You

  • You were fired or forced to resign unfairly

  • You're experiencing discrimination or harassment at work

  • You reported something wrong and faced retaliation

  • You were injured at work and they made it difficult to get care

  • You feel like something illegal happened but you're not sure

  • You can't afford a lawyer but want to fight back

This Is NOT For You

  • You're looking for a quick payday with no real case

  • You just don't like your job (but nothing illegal happened)

  • You want someone else to do all the work for you

  • You're not willing to document and take action

Why I Created This

I was a warehouse worker. A coworker ran over my foot—on camera. They didn't drug test him. Didn't write him up. Made me wait 30 days for an MRI.

When I came back with restrictions, my supervisor told me to work normally or be fired. So they fired me.

I got a workers comp attorney for my injury — that's standard. But when they retaliated and fired me? I handled that myself.

I filed with the EEOC, built my case, documented everything — and won $40,000 without a lawyer.

Common Questions

Is this really free?

Yes, 100% free. No credit card. No catch. Just enter your email and you'll get instant access. I created this because I wish someone had given me something like this when I was going through my situation.

Do I need a lawyer to use this?

No. The whole point is to help you figure out where you stand before you spend money on anything. I won my case without a lawyer, and I designed this checklist for people in the same position.

What if I'm not sure my situation qualifies?

That's exactly why I made this. If you faced retaliation, discrimination, injury, or harassment at work, this checklist helps you see what you're dealing with. You don't need to know if you have a "real case" yet — this helps you figure that out.

Will my employer know I downloaded this?

No. Your employer is not notified. Use a personal email you control — not your work email. What you do on your own time is your business.

What if I'm still employed — can I still use this?

Yes. Whether you're still at the job or already left, this checklist helps you evaluate your situation. If you're still employed, it can also help you start documenting now — before things get worse.

What happens after I download the checklist?

You'll get the checklist immediately in your email. Go through it honestly — it takes about 2 minutes. At the end, you'll see what your answers mean and what your options are. If you want more help after that, I also have a full guide that walks you through everything step by step.
