Wrongful Termination

An employer has the right to terminate an employee, but it must be done in accordance with California and federal law. When an employer violates these laws, it may have participated in wrongful termination. Employees who are wrongfully terminated are entitled to all of their compensation and benefits. In certain circumstances, they may be entitled to punitive damages when the employer's behavior is egregious enough to meet certain criteria under the law.

The attorneys at the Armstrong Law Firm have extensive experience in all aspects of employment law. Our lawyers represent persons who have been wrongfully terminated, help them assert their rights under the law, and obtain the compensation they are owed.

Illegal reasons for termination include:

• Firing in violation of state and federal anti-discrimination laws
• Firing as a form of sexual harassment
• Firing in violation of oral and written employment agreements
• Firing in violation of labor laws, including collective bargaining laws
• Firing in retaliation for the employee's having filed a complaint or claim against the employer

The existence of an employment contract may provide a basis for action, but is not necessary to commence an action to obtain justice in a wrongful termination case. Still employed but being unfairly pushed out? We may be able to negotiate a severance agreement favorable to you.

If you think you have been wrongfully terminated, or if you are being threatened with termination in violation of the law, the Armstrong Law Firm may be able to help you.
