Helping You After You Have Been Fired
Losing a job is never easy, especially when you think there may be illegality involved. If you have just lost a job under what you feel are improper circumstances, you might have a wrongful discharge or unfair dismissal case. You need to know, first, whether the termination was wrongful, and second, what your rights are.
I have dedicated my career as an attorney to helping wrongfully terminated employees find permanent, positive solutions. Located in San Francisco, California, in the heart of Union Square, my law firm can help you find a way back on your feet. Contact me to see if you might have a legitimate and viable wrongful termination claim.
When Is a Termination Wrongful?
Wrongful termination is an umbrella term covering many kinds of improper conduct by an employer that leads to the loss of a job. Some situations and reasons for termination of employment may seem unfair, but that does not necessarily mean they are illegal or a viable cause for a lawsuit. However, many reasons that an employer may have to terminate an employee are unlawful.
A termination might be considered wrongful if an employer uses any of the following bases for the termination:
- The employee informing the authorities regarding what the employee reasonably believes to be an illegal activity by the employer — this is employer retaliation.
- Disability, age, gender, or race — this is employment discrimination.
- The employee refused to engage in sexual conduct with the employer or agent thereof — this is sexual harassment.
After nearly 15 years fighting for the rights of employees, I have the knowledge and experience to hear the facts of your employment matter and help you determine whether you have a wrongful termination claim under the law.
Know Your Legal Rights Against Wrongful Termination
Many workers who believe that they are "at-will" believe that they can be fired for any reason. That is not true. If you feel you have been wrongfully terminated, a wide spectrum of laws exist which may protect your rights. Call a lawyer.
Since I focus exclusively on employment law, I keep up-to-date with all of the evolving California and Federal laws that safeguard your rights as an employee. This helps me provide you competent, focused representation. In every litigation case I take, I work on a contingency fee basis, which means that I don't charge attorney fees unless and until you receive compensation for the wrongs that you have suffered.
