Wrongful Termination
Without a written employment contract, most people are presumed to be "employees at will" - that is, they're generally free to quit at any time for any reason, and their employers are free to fire them at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. However, there are important exceptions to the at-will employment rule. For example, in circumstances where an employee was promised continued employment if he or she did a good job, or where the employer fails to follow its own internal practices and policies regarding discipline and termination, the “employee at will” presumption may be overcome.
The Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen represents employees in wrongful termination cases. Attorneys Steven Rheuban ans Solomon Gresen have more than a combined 48 years experience representing clients who have been fired, laid off, or downsized at work for unlawful or discriminatory reasons.
To evaluate your case, we will analyze the circumstances of your discharge to determine whether your adverse employment action (whether termination, demotion, reduction in pay, or otherwise) was the result of any of the following:
- Discrimination on the job, whether motivated by bias concerning race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability
- Retaliation for filing a workplace complaint, complaining about unlawful conditions, or even asserting protected rights such as the right to file a worker’s compensation claim or the right to be free from sexual harassment
- Disguised reorganization or layoff that was actually intended to get rid of you and employees like you
If you suspect that your firing or layoff might have violated a federal or state law, or that your employer broke promises that you would remain working at your job, get a free initial assessment of your claim by calling the Los Angeles wrongful termination attorneys at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
