Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Attorneys
Many employees believe that by being "at will" employees, they can be fired for any reason. This is not true. California state and federal laws prevent employers from terminating an employee for certain reasons, such as their race, age and sexual orientation, and for engaging in protected acts or activities.
Wrongful Termination Lawyers in Los Angeles
Do you believe you were terminated for an improper reason? Contact the Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyers at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
Our wrongful termination attorneys in Los Angeles represent employees in unlawful termination cases involving:
- At-will employees: Were you fired in retaliation for complaining about harassment in the workplace? Did you lose your job for requesting a reasonable accommodation? Perhaps your employer terminated you because of your race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability. If so, you may have been terminated in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the at-will presumption may not apply to you.
- Wrongful termination: An employer cannot take an adverse employment action (termination, demotion, pay reduction, refusal to pay appropriate wages, etc.) on account of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or many other improper reasons set forth in the Unfair Employment Housing Act, Title VII, Title IX and other equal employment opportunity laws. Similarly, an employer cannot act in retaliation for your lawful employment actions, such as filing a sexual harassment complaint or asserting your protected right to family leave or an accommodation.
- Constructive termination: Were you forced to resign from your job because of discrimination? Are you on the verge of quitting because of sexual harassment or another unlawful condition at work? If you have already quit or, most importantly, are thinking of quitting, talk to a lawyer before you take any other action.
- Hostile work environment: A hostile work environment is often the reason that people are forced to quit their jobs. If you are the victim of pervasive, offensive and otherwise discriminatory or harassing behavior at your workplace, turn to the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
