Fighting Wrongful Termination and Unlawful Retaliation

If you were abruptly fired after speaking up about workplace safety, requesting medical leave, or reporting illegal corporate misconduct, the firm provides aggressive trial advocacy:

• Holding employers accountable for retaliatory firing following protected whistleblower disclosures.
• Protecting workers terminated for taking protected medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
• Pursuing compensation for lost wages, emotional trauma, and punitive damages resulting from wrongful discharge.
