Hire a Wrongful Termination Attorney in Orange County

A job termination is wrongful if it is done because:

1. the employee complained about illegal conduct of their employer;
2. the employment termination is discriminatory;
3. the employee is fired for refusing to perform an illegal act;
4. the employee is fired in order to avoid paying them wages due;
5. the employment termination was part of a scheme to defraud the employee. Another word for wrongful termination is whistleblower retaliation.
