Terminated employees are often slighted by the fact that their employment with a company — no matter how long or short-lived it may have been — has been terminated. In short, no one likes getting fired. When employees are released, they may file a wrongful termination claim as an automatic reaction or after lamenting about all the potential shortcomings they identify with the company. No matter the employee's reason for filing a wrongful termination claim, it must allege a violation of state or federal law — including discrimination or retaliation based on race, gender, age, religious affiliation, national origin, or another protected class — or a breach of an implied or actual employment contract. Our dedicated employer wrongful termination defense attorneys in California are skilled at getting baseless claims dismissed, negotiating timely and appropriate settlements, and engaging in courtroom litigation when necessary.
