The legal status of most workers is known as employment at will, which typically allows an employee to quit at any time and for any reason. At the same time, but only up to a point, the employer has the right to terminate an employee at any time and for any reason, so long as it is not prohibited by law.

Examples of unlawful reasons for termination include race or age discrimination, retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim, or to punish an employee for reporting unsafe or illegal working conditions. Employers can often disguise the real reasons for the decision to terminate a worker's employment, and our lawyers know how to get behind the "official"reasons for a firing.

We can advise you about the evidence that will bear on the legal issues of a state or federal wrongful termination claim, the damages you can expect to recover if the facts point toward liability, and the strategic considerations and decisions that guide settlement negotiations, pretrial tactics or the presentation of evidence in court.
