Whether you were fired without cause, pushed out after raising concerns, or your employer used performance as a pretext, we review every angle of your California employment claim at no cost.

⚖️

Fired Without Cause or Documentation

California’s at-will employment doctrine has significant exceptions. If you were terminated without prior written warnings, a documented performance improvement plan, or any legitimate reason, you may have strong grounds for a wrongful termination claim.

Most Common Claim Type
🛡️

Discrimination — Race, Age, Gender, Disability

California’s FEHA prohibits termination based on race, national origin, sex, age (40+), disability, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. FEHA provides broader protections than federal law and allows recovery of attorney fees from the employer.

Retaliation for Protected Activity

Fired after reporting safety violations, filing a workers comp claim, complaining about harassment, or blowing the whistle on illegal conduct? Retaliation is one of California’s most actionable and well-compensated employment claims.

⚠ High Recovery Potential
🏥

Termination After Medical Leave

If you were fired during or shortly after taking CFRA, FMLA, or pregnancy disability leave, this is a major red flag for wrongful termination. California law provides strong protections for workers who take legally protected medical and family leave.

📋

Constructive Dismissal

You don’t have to be formally fired to have a wrongful termination claim. If your employer made working conditions so intolerable through harassment, demotion, or pay cuts that you had no choice but to resign, that may qualify as constructive dismissal.

Often Overlooked
📄

Breach of Employment Contract

If your employer promised job security in an offer letter, employee handbook, or verbal agreement and then terminated you in violation of those terms, you may have a breach of contract claim in addition to a statutory wrongful termination claim.

Why a Free Review Is the Most Important First Step

California employment law is complex. Most workers don’t know how strong their case is — or that the statute of limitations is counting down from the day they were fired.

California’s Employment Claim Deadlines Are Real

The clock starts on the day you were fired. FEHA discrimination and retaliation claims must be filed with the CRD within 3 years. Once the deadline passes, your right to compensation is permanently eliminated. The review is free. Don’t wait.

Common Questions

Everything You’re Wondering About Your Case

Wrongful termination in California occurs when an employer fires a worker for an illegal reason — even in an at-will state. Illegal reasons include discrimination (race, age, gender, disability, pregnancy), retaliation for whistleblowing or filing a workers comp claim, violation of FEHA, breach of employment contract, or termination that violates California public policy. California has stronger worker protections than almost any other US state.

California wrongful termination settlements typically range from $30,000 to $900,000 or more depending on the violation type, lost wages, emotional distress, and employer conduct. FEHA discrimination and harassment cases can also recover attorney fees from the employer, significantly increasing total recovery. A free case review gives you a realistic assessment of what your situation may be worth.

Yes. At-will employment does not mean your employer can fire you for any reason. California law prohibits termination for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for protected activity, in violation of public policy, or when an implied employment contract exists. Many at-will employees have valid wrongful termination claims — a free review will determine whether yours does.

For FEHA discrimination or harassment claims, you must file with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) within 3 years. For breach of written contract, 4 years. For oral contract or Labor Code violations, 2 years. These deadlines are strict — missing them permanently eliminates your right to compensation. Act immediately after termination to protect your rights.

Do not sign a severance agreement before getting a free legal review. Severance agreements typically include a release of claims that may waive your right to sue for wrongful termination. Under California law you generally have 21 days to consider an offer and 7 days to revoke after signing. An attorney will assess whether the offer reflects your claim’s true value — or whether you’re being significantly underpaid.

Yes, completely free with no obligation. You will not be charged anything for the initial review. If you choose to proceed with legal representation, California employment attorneys work on a contingency fee — they receive a percentage of your recovery only if you win. You will never be asked to pay anything upfront.
