Know Your Rights

You May Be Entitled to Compensation for a Wrongful Firing

Although California is an at-will employment state, your employer cannot fire you for an unlawful reason. Wrongful termination happens when an employee is let go because of discrimination, retaliation, or for exercising a protected workplace right.

You may have a claim if you were fired after:

  • Reporting harassment or unsafe working conditions
  • Requesting medical or family leave
  • Complaining about wage violations or unpaid overtime
  • Refusing to participate in illegal activity
  • Disclosing employer misconduct
  • Being targeted based on your race, gender, age, or disability

These are violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and other labor laws. Our firm helps workers understand their rights and build strong claims for reinstatement, back pay, and emotional distress damages.
