Wrongful Termination and Whistleblower Retaliation Defense

Although California operates under at-will employment principles, state and federal laws strictly prohibit firing employees for unlawful reasons. If you need an attorney to hold your former employer accountable, Custis Law, P.C. conducts exhaustive investigations to expose pretextual terminations and recover lost income. Key areas of wrongful discharge litigation include:

• Retaliation against whistleblowers who report financial fraud, regulatory infractions, or illegal workplace conditions.
• Wrongful termination following medical leave, family leave under the California Family Rights Act, or pregnancy disability leave.
• Firing employees for filing workers compensation claims or requesting reasonable disability accommodations.
• Constructive discharge where intolerable working conditions compel an employee to resign.
• Severance agreement analysis and executive exit package negotiations to secure optimal separation compensation.

• Discrimination based on race, national origin, religious beliefs, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability status.

• Failure to accommodate known physical or mental disabilities, including lactation accommodation violations.
• Employer retaliation against workers who file internal human resources complaints or participate in government investigations.
