Common questions
What makes a firing wrongful?
Being fired for a discriminatory reason (race, sex, age, disability, etc.), for reporting wrongdoing, for taking protected leave, or in breach of an employment contract.
What is at-will employment?
In most states, employers can fire for any reason — except an illegal one. At-will does not protect discriminatory or retaliatory firings.
Are there deadlines to file?
Yes. Discrimination claims often must go to the EEOC or state agency within 180 to 300 days. Other claims have their own statutes of limitations.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the termination letter, your employment contract or handbook, performance reviews, and any emails or messages related to the firing.
