Wrongful Termination

Our attorneys at HOWARD | NASSIRI, PC demonstrate a tireless commitment to defending the rights of employees, groups of employees in class action claims, and employers involved in employment issues due to wrongful termination in Orange County and throughout Southern California.

In the state of California, most employees and employers have an “at will” relationship, with the right to terminate employment at any time or for any reason, unless otherwise specified in an employment contract. When an employee is terminated based on a violation of a contract, or on a violation of fundamental public policy, they may have grounds for a wrongful termination case.

Our attorneys have extensive experience assisting clients with many forms of wrongful termination based on:

  • Discrimination
  • Harassment
  • Retaliation
  • Whistle-blowing
  • Sexual orientation
  • Family or Medical leave

Wrongful termination can occur as a result of discrimination or harassment based on age, gender, race, national origin, religion, racial bias, disability, or other protected class characteristics, as well as retaliation due to filing a worker’s compensation claim, complaining about wage and hour issues, or safety and health claims, or for being terminated due to jury duty or whistle-blowing. Other unlawful terminations can occur as a result of sexual orientation or for taking a family or medical leave.

At HOWARD | NASSIRI, PC, our attorneys maintain an intricate knowledge of state and federal wrongful termination laws, violations of public policy, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEMA). We pledge to fight for your right to a workplace that is free from unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation that can lead to wrongful termination. Let us help you find the best resolution and recovery to your wrongful termination issue. Call our lawyers toll free today at (800) 872-5925.
