What is the name of your state? MN Are there any circumstances where the Solicitor of Labor can represent a whistleblower?

Maybe - did you have a legal question about a matter that you are directly involved in?

The Solicitor of Labor is the chief legal officer overseeing the Department of Labor’s attorneys and legal staff, and it would be these attorneys with assistance from the legal staff who would represent whistleblowers. The Solicitor of Labor can initiate lawsuits.

Why? Is your question one of curiosity only? Or are you a whistleblower looking for legal representation?

And what does your question have to do with Environmental and Toxic Torts?

So the answer is yes?

It's an environmental, toxic tort, intentional toxic tort, employment, labor, ERISA, OSHA, NIOSH, EPA, almost all agencies under the solicitor's jurisdiction. Clearly I would not post specific details on this website. I just needed a yes or no response to a question. Thanks for the input anyway.

You are smart to not post details here. You can file a complaint and the agency will take it from there.

Thanks. If the agency decides to move forward, can the complainant bring in an outside attorney at any time to assist?

The complainant can have his own attorney to pursue an action separate from the agency’s action.

Thanks. But not in the context of overseeing that what the agency was doing addressed all of the possible issues?

Based on the little you are disclosing, I would say that the agency would not be working with any attorney you hire. Depending on facts, however, you might need an attorney to represent your interests.
