Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Los Angeles Charge of Discrimination

In today’s economy, jobs are precious. You work hard, follow the rules, meet your deadlines, and go the extra mile. When you lose your job, you can’t help but question why.

For Southern California residents who feel they have been wrongfully terminated from their jobs, a Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer can help.

Was It Wrongful?

Did your employer have grounds to fire you? Maybe the reason management gave you doesn’t make sense? Were you accused of doing something you know you didn’t do? Were you set up to appear incompetent when you have been successfully doing your duties for years? If so, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against your employer for wrongful termination.

Grounds for wrongful termination lawsuits can include, but are not limited to, the following:

• discrimination on the basis of age, sex, religion, race, disability, or national origin (and even pregnancy)
• breach of contract, typically relating to that between an employee and a union
• the employee believes he/she was terminated to avoid an upcoming bonus or promotion
• the employer knowingly created false accusations against the employee to warrant termination

Knowing the Laws

In the case of discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires that a Charge of Discrimination be filed with them before a job discrimination lawsuit can be filed against the employer. By working with an Orange County labor attorney at Ellis Law, you can rest assured that you will be informed of all legal loopholes like this one so your case will go as smoothly as possible.

Our experienced Long Beach wrongful termination lawyers can also advise you against any time limits, or statutes of limitations, relating to your lawsuit. With this in mind, it is important to contact our offices as soon as you feel you have been wrongfully terminated from your job.
