Contact our San Diego firm to consult an experienced wrongful termination lawyer. An attorney with our practice will protect your rights and help you obtain fair compensation.
At Employment Mediation and Litigation Services, A.P.C., in San Diego, a wrongful termination lawyer can help you obtain justice in the event that you are unlawfully released from a job. In California, wrongful termination claims are notoriously difficult to prove given that many workers have no employment contracts and there is often no direct evidence proving wrongful termination. Absent proof of a contrary agreement or other limitation on the employer’s right to terminate, an employer may discharge an “at will” employee at any time and for any reason. When a firing proves to be unlawful, an experienced San Diego wrongful termination attorney from our firm can help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Many workers are hired without any legally binding employment contracts, and they are therefore often considered "at will" employees under California labor laws. An "at will" employee can be legally terminated without cause so long as the reason for termination does not violate public policy. Such a violation can be said to exist if an employee's wrongful termination resulted from a refusal to break the law on behalf of the employer, was due to discrimination in violation of state and federal laws, was a result of reporting sexual harassment, or was an act of retaliation for the employee's whistleblower actions.
A San Diego wrongful termination lawyer with our firm will review a number of documents to find support for your claim. Employment contracts provide the most direct evidence of wrongful termination as they are intended to document conditions of employment and identify the grounds for an employee's termination. Aside from a contract, our wrongful termination lawyer may investigate the following:
By reviewing records and statements, a San Diego wrongful termination attorney can gather evidence for arguing that your employer violated specific exceptions to rules regarding "employment at will." In addition to retaliation and violation of public policy, these exceptions can include the existence of implied contracts or an employer's commission of fraud or misrepresentation.
If you have lost your job unfairly, a San Diego wrongful termination lawyer with our firm will aggressively pursue the compensation to which you are entitled, which can include reinstatement, promotion, recovery of lost wages and benefits, punitive damages, payment for emotional distress, and attorney's fees.
