I'm getting mixed signals on the statute of limitations for whistleblower claims in MN. Several attorneys claim a recent decision definitely makes it a 6 year SOL and that its unlikely to change soon. Others say it's still a 2 year SOL. Yet others say its unclear which SOL applies. Is there clarity to be found anywhere on this question? I'm running up against 2 years soon, but I probably won't have the money to proceed until after 2 years have passed.
This leads to the next question.
I was under the mistaken impression that attorneys would take a whistleblower case on contingency, if they would take it at all. I've found several who will take my case but none will take it on contingency, and the fees vary by a considerable amount. Should I take this as a warning that I'm likely to lose, or is charging a flat feee the norm for these cases?
