Jeff Anderson and Associates applaud the courage of Alex Merritt

Jeff Anderson and Associates applaud the courage of Alex Merritt and his family for standing up and speaking out on behalf of kids bullied because they may be different.

We represented young Alex who was bullied while in school by the teachers because some may have thought he was gay when in fact he was very straight. He also knew that what had happened to him was wrong and he didn’t want that to happen to others so he came to us. With the help of The Human Rights Department and his mother Jodi and through the Human Rights Department received a measure of justice and validation. Part of the story appears in the Star Tribune today. Kathleen O’Connor was the lead attorney on this case and happy to comment on this and there is more to the story. Kudos to Alex, Jodi and his family for finding their voice, speaking up and making a difference.
