Wrongful Termination
We represent employees fired for illegal reasons. If you were terminated for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons, our wrongful termination lawyers will fight to get you justice.
Discrimination
No worker should be treated differently because of who they are. We handle all workplace discrimination, including age, race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or pregnancy.
Wage and Overtime Claims
You deserve every dollar you’ve earned. We pursue claims for unpaid overtime, withheld wages, and employee misclassification to ensure you’re fully compensated.
Disability Rights
Employers must make reasonable accommodations for physical or mental disabilities. If you’ve been denied leave or faced bias because of a disability, we’ll fight to protect your rights.
Retaliation Protection
It’s illegal for employers to punish workers for reporting wrongdoing. We protect whistleblowers and employees who speak up about discrimination, harassment, or safety violations.
Sexual Harassment
From inappropriate comments to quid pro quo advances, no one should have to tolerate sexual harassment at work. We stand up for victims and demand accountability.
Breach of Contract
If your employer broke their contractual promises or pressured you to sign an unfair severance agreement, our attorneys will protect your interests and your future.
Workers’ Compensation
If you were injured or became ill because of your job or workplace, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits or disability pay.

FAQ
What counts as wrongful termination vs. unfair but legal?
Wrongful termination happens when you’re fired for an illegal reason, like discrimination, retaliation, or refusing to break the law. Some firings feel unfair, but are legal unless they violate a protected right.
Do I need an employment lawyer if HR already investigated?
Yes. HR protects the company, not you, and internal investigations often overlook key evidence. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your claim is taken seriously.
What is wrongful termination?
Exact definitions vary slightly by state, but wrongful termination includes being fired for discriminatory reasons, whistleblowing, reporting harassment, or asserting your legal rights. Even at-will employees are protected from these unlawful actions.
How do I prove a hostile work environment?
You can prove a hostile environment by showing repeated harassment, discrimination, or intimidation tied to a protected characteristic. Documents, messages, witness statements, and reporting history strengthen your claim.
