Having your employment terminated may rarely seem to be a fair thing to have happen. In many instances, it may not be fair. However, under the law, most employees are considered as "at-will" employees and may be terminated for any reason, or no reason, at any time.

Speaking to an Oakland wrongful termination attorney and understanding your legal rights with respect to termination is the first step in protecting those rights. There are two primary ways in which a termination can be attacked:
- Was the termination in violation of some law?
- Is there a written or verbal employment contract, which contains terms that were not followed as part of the terms and conditions of employment and the termination?
There are state and federal laws that control how an employee may be treated, including what grounds are permissible for termination. If any of those laws have been violated we will aggressively protect your rights.
At The Armstrong Law Firm, our Oakland wrongful termination lawyers will analyze your termination to determine if it is illegal in any regard. We will then clearly lay out the best options for seeking redress and develop a strategy that incorporates your goals and seeks to secure the best possible resolution to your situation.
