At Mendez Isaac Joudi, PLLC, our lawyers are passionately committed to defending your rights, especially when it comes to wrongful termination. We fight tirelessly for people who believe they were fired for an unlawful reason.
Recognizing the signs of wrongful termination
Wrongful termination takes many forms, and it is essential to know the signs:
- Discrimination: you were fired because of your race, age, gender, religion, national origin, disability, or another protected characteristic.
- Retaliation: you were terminated after reporting workplace misconduct such as harassment, safety violations, or illegal activity.
- Whistleblowing: you lost your job after reporting your employer's illegal activities or unethical behavior.
- Breach of contract: your employment contract spelled out conditions for termination, and your employer did not follow them.
- Constructive discharge: the work environment became so hostile or intolerable that you had no real choice but to resign.
- Violation of public policy: you were fired for something the law protects, such as taking family or medical leave.
Employers rarely announce an unlawful firing. The reasons on paper often hide the real ones, and it takes a careful look at the facts to tell the difference.
What to do if you believe you were wrongfully terminated
Document everything. Keep records of the incidents leading up to your termination: emails, texts, and conversations with colleagues or supervisors. The paper trail you preserve now often becomes the backbone of your case later.
Consult an attorney. Our experienced wrongful termination attorneys are ready to give you the guidance and support your employment claim needs. We will help you gather the evidence that builds a strong case, including witness statements, employment contracts, and performance evaluations, and we will assist you in filing a complaint with the relevant government agencies and exploring legal action.
