Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Every situation is unique, but generally, if you believe your employer has violated your rights, discriminated against you, or treated you unfairly in violation of labor laws, you may have a case. The best way to determine this is to schedule a free consultation with our experienced employment attorneys. We’ll review your situation and advise you on the strength of your case.

The time limit, or statute of limitations, varies depending on the type of claim. For example:

• Discrimination or harassment claims: Generally 3 years from the date of the incident
• Wage claims: 3 years for statutory claims, 4 years for breach of contract claims
• Wrongful termination: 2 years for most claims, but can vary It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

We work on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, and our fee is a percentage of the recovery. This allows anyone to access quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. For more information visit hiring an employment FAQ section. 

Compensation varies based on the specifics of your case but may include:

• Back pay and front pay
• Emotional distress damages
• Punitive damages (in cases of egregious conduct)
• Reinstatement to your job (in some cases)
• Attorney’s fees and court costs

While we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, many employment law cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for you, whether that’s through settlement or litigation.

No, it’s illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for asserting your legal rights. If you face retaliation for filing a complaint or lawsuit, this could form the basis of an additional legal claim. For more information, visit the whistleblower resource page. 

First, document everything. Keep a detailed record of incidents, including dates, times, locations, and witnesses. Report the behavior to your HR department or supervisor in writing. If the situation doesn’t improve, or if you face retaliation, contact us for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

In employment disputes, damages generally fall into two categories: actual damages and emotional distress. Actual damages refer to tangible losses, such as lost wages and benefits, that directly affect an employee’s financial situation. If an employee has not experienced any adverse actions impacting their ability to earn money, establishing a claim may be challenging.

On the other hand, emotional distress damages pertain to the psychological impact of workplace issues. Employees who suffer significant emotional harm from discrimination, harassment, or other adverse actions may seek compensation for that distress. Both types of damages are crucial to consider when assessing the overall impact of an employment dispute and determining the need for legal representation.
