Wrongful Termination

Dedicated Wrongful Termination Lawyers

If you lost your job against your will, it is natural for you to believe that your employer did something wrong. In fact, however, most employment is categorized as “at will.” This means your employer has the right to let you go for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all. Common grounds for a termination at will include the employer’s perception that your performance was not good enough, a down-sizing or personality conflicts. In certain circumstances, the law provides exceptions to employment at will depending on what motivated the action of discharge.

Therefore, a key aspect of your employment law case at Brown Paindiris & Scott, LLP, is a careful review and analysis of factors that may or may not have motivated the decision. We may be able to help you if one or more of the following applies in your case:

• You were targeted through retaliatory discharge after you legitimately complained about sexual harassment on the job.
• You were terminated after you took legitimate time off work in accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
• There is clear and ample evidence that your termination was motivated by your employer’s discrimination against you on the basis of race, religion, marital status, veteran status, pregnancy or other illegal basis for workplace discrimination.
• You earn a high enough salary to make it cost-effective to bring a wrongful termination claim or lawsuit against your employer.
• You have a contract, or the employer made promises to you that it did not keep.
