Wrongful Termination Lawyer in Los Angeles
Why You Need A Wrongful Termination Lawyer in Los Angeles?
If you have been dismissed or laid off and believe the decision was unlawful, our firm can give guidance and legal assistance as attorneys who have litigated claims of wrongful termination or abusive discharge. There are numerous types of “illegal” or “wrongful” termination reasons:
- Firing as a form of discrimination (based on race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, etc.).
- Termination in retaliation for an employee lodging a claim, complaint or asserting a legal right, e.g. related to wages under the FLSA, benefits for workers’ compensation, absences under the FMLA, etc.
- Violation of an employment contract.
- Firing that violates labor laws or union rules.
- Termination as an end result of sexual harassment.
- Discharge in violation of a clear mandate of public policy.
Can I Be Fired If I Have A Contract With My Employer?
While the vast majority of employees in California don’t have contracts, there are some employees in California that actually do have contracts. Some of those contracts are for specific time periods: one year, or for a specific job. The question comes up as to if they can terminate that contract. Sometimes, the contract has just cause provisions that say if they terminate you for just cause, they can cancel the contract. What’s clear in California is that, regardless of whether or not you have an employment contract or you’re considered at-will, all employees, both contract employees and at-will employees, are protected under California law from wrongful termination, unlawful harassment, and discrimination.
What Should I Do If I Was Wrongfully Terminated?
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated from your job in California, here are some steps you can take:
- Understand the reasons for your termination
- Gather evidence
- Consult an attorney
- File a complaint with the appropriate agency
- Consider alternative dispute resolution
- Take care of yourself

Wrongful termination refers to the unlawful or illegal termination of an employee's employment contract. It occurs when an employee is fired in violation of their rights, such as discrimination, retaliation, breach of contract, or violation of public policy.
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in employment law and can help you understand your rights, assess the validity of your case, gather evidence, and navigate the legal process. They will advocate for your rights, negotiate with the employer, and if necessary, represent you in court to seek justice and compensation.
Our experienced wrongful termination lawyers in Los Angeles handle a wide range of cases, including but not limited to discrimination-based terminations (based on age, race, gender, etc.), retaliatory terminations, terminations in violation of employment contracts, and terminations in violation of public policy.
Determining whether your termination was wrongful requires a careful evaluation of the specific circumstances surrounding your case. Consulting with a wrongful termination lawyer can help you understand if your termination was illegal or violated your rights. They will assess the facts, review employment contracts, and analyze applicable laws to provide you with the necessary guidance.
The compensation you may receive in a wrongful termination case can vary depending on factors such as the extent of damages, lost wages, emotional distress, and potential punitive damages. A skilled wrongful termination lawyer will work diligently to seek the maximum compensation you deserve based on the specifics of your case.
