Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Request a free initial consultationUnderstanding the issue
Losing a job does not, by itself, establish an unlawful termination. The reason for the decision matters. Discrimination, retaliation for protected activity, and interference with protected leave can raise different legal issues.
An initial review compares the employer’s stated reason with the sequence of events. Prior reviews, changes in explanations, and communications around a complaint or leave request can help clarify what happened.
What we review
- Who made the decision and what explanation was given?
- Was a complaint, accommodation request, or leave request made beforehand?
- Were performance concerns documented before the dispute?
What to prepare
- Termination notice and final pay statement
- Recent performance reviews and employment agreements
- A dated timeline of complaints, leave requests, and management responses
Frequently asked questions
What should I tell a lawyer if I think I was fired unfairly?
Start with your last day of work, the explanation you received, and any recent complaint or leave request. Include messages and performance reviews you already have.
The employer gave no written reason. Can I still ask for a review?
Yes. Explain what was said, when it was said, and who was present. A missing termination letter alone does not establish a claim.
Should I wait until I have every document?
No. Bring what you have and identify what is missing. Tell us about any agreement deadline or agency notice at the outset.
Consultation and timing
Filing deadlines depend on the claim and procedure. Tell us about an approaching deadline, agency notice, or signature request when contacting us. Requesting a consultation does not extend a deadline or establish an attorney-client relationship.
