Jordan Rohlfing

Jordan Rohlfing is a partner at DeWitt LLP.  She is an active member of DeWitt’s Litigation, Labor & Employment Relations, and Background Screening practice groups.  She is dedicated to providing top-quality legal services for all of her clients.

She fully appreciates how upsetting and jarring it can be for businesses to face a Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Discrimination Complaint, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Charge of Discrimination, or single-plaintiff employment lawsuit.  Jordan regularly counsels businesses of all sizes who find themselves in this very position. Her down-to-earth, relatable style helps Jordan break down the administrative and litigation processes for her clients so those processes do not become overwhelming and so her clients can continue devoting their time to effectively managing their businesses.

Jordan has helped businesses deal with claims made under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and many other federal and state laws related to discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage and hour issues, among others. She also has experience litigating the enforceability of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and tip credit/tip pool issues in the restaurant industry.

She regularly counsels employers on day-to-day employment issues from hiring to termination. She drafts employment agreements containing post-employment restrictive covenants and prepares employee handbooks. She assists employers with their background screening policies, including the use of criminal history information in employment decisions. She frequently helps employers with difficult termination decisions and advises employers on whether to utilize severance agreements.

In addition to her work in the employment arena, Jordan is a member of DeWitt’s Background Screening practice group. She works with background screening companies of all sizes to help them navigate the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and similar state laws. She regularly helps consumer reporting agencies address their disclosure and authorization processes, adverse action paperwork, background screening report formats, and free file responses. Jordan also offers guidance to background screening companies when they find themselves in litigation.

Jordan has significant experience litigating a variety of issues outside of the employment context including insurance coverage disputes, commercial and contract disputes, Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law disputes, asbestos disputes, real estate disputes, and construction disputes. She has litigated cases in state and federal court and has jury trial experience.
