Gene Graham’s cases include a $6 million settlement in 2012 in an age-discrimination suit by a group of 36 former faculty members at a Kansas City community college, as well as a $57 million class action settlement with Sprint Nextel on age-discrimination claims in 2007.
He also helped secure a 2014 Missouri Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for employees to sue if they are fired for filing a workers’ compensation claim, though lawmakers have since changed the standard. He continues to focus on helping clients who feel they have been misled by employers.
The following year, Graham helped win another Supreme Court case that earned a new trial for a former employee of the Kansas City Chiefs.
