With nearly 30 years of combined experience litigating employment cases, Bob Ortbals and Katie Rhoten founded Gateway Employment Law to help employees who’ve been mistreated by their employers. Recognized as a “Best Up & Coming Law Firm in Missouri” by Missouri Lawyer’s Media in 2025, Gateway Employment Law  Facing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at work can feel isolating. Employees often don’t know their rights or where they can go for help. We can help you find a legal path suited to your issue. 

Workplace issues such as discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages, or wrongful termination can be difficult to navigate, especially when employers control the process. Many employees are unsure of their rights or how to respond. Gateway Employment Law helps clients understand their options, evaluate potential claims, and determine the most appropriate path forward based on their specific situation.
