Wrongful Termination and Retaliation

How Brockmeier Law Group Can Help You with Wrongful Termination

As an employee, you have rights, and these employee rights extend to after your employer has terminated your employment. Brockmeier Law Group can help you if your employer wrongfully terminated you.

At Brockmeier Law Group, you can retain a wrongful termination attorney in Southern California who can help you sue the company for which you worked if it terminated you in retaliation for complaints you filed. This extends to all types of complaints, from sexual harassment complaints to whistleblower filings. Other reasons to pursue a lawsuit against your former employers include:

• wage and hour law violations,
• employment discrimination because of race, gender, age, etc.,
• refusal to accommodate your religion or disabilities,
• safety violations.

What laws protect employees?

Your Southern California wrongful termination lawyer will start their consultation by asking you a few questions about your termination to determine which US employment law best applies. Some of these protective pieces of federal legislation include:

• the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA),
• the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
• the Occupational Safety and Health Act,
• Fair Labor Standards Act,
• The Civil Rights Act,
• rules of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

State protections also exist but vary from state to state. You can find those for California and other states on the US Department of Labor website.

Getting Your Case Started

When you retain a Southern California wrongful termination attorney from Brockmeier Law Group, they’ll work with you to determine the best course of action. One of the first steps includes gathering information, such as emails, letters, memos, etc. from your employer and that you wrote and sent to your employer.
