Experienced Employment Law Attorneys in Southern California
The term “wrongful termination” refers to a situation where an employer has discharged or fired an employee in a manner that is a violation of the employee's legal rights. Wrongful termination can occur in a variety of ways, but for any case of dismissal to be deemed a wrongful termination, it needs to be shown that the dismissal violated one or more employment laws.
At the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lovretovich, we represent individuals in the Los Angeles area and the communities of Southern California who have been wrongfully terminated. Our experienced lawyers have seen countless numbers of cases where wrongful terminations have occurred, and understand what to look for to determine if your termination should be deemed 'wrongful'.
Wrongful termination occurs for many reasons, but for victims, there is no reason good enough to justify losing their jobs and their livelihoods. Contact an attorney at the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lovretovich to protect your rights.
Examples of Wrongful Termination
There are many examples of wrongful termination in the workplace. These include, but are not limited to:
- Violations of employment contracts
- Retaliation
- Whistleblower cases
- Fraud or misrepresentation
- Discrimination
- Sexual harassment
- Pregnancy discrimination
- Breach of implied contract
- Termination to avoid paying lawful wages, commissions and bonuses
Many times, individuals who have been terminated may not fully understand why they were let go and were given false or inconsistent reasons for the termination. For example, an employer may cite performance issues as the reason for the termination, when recent, positive performance reviews and co-workers can testify to the employee's good performance.
At the Law Offices of Joseph M. Lovretovich, we look for these inconsistencies and other important information during our intense and thorough intake process. We have clients fill out a lengthy questionnaire that we will review to see if wrongful termination occurred. We may also work with an investigator who will look at the termination for more detailed information.
