When to Turn to a Wrongful Termination Lawyer

You may be surprised to hear it, but there is actually no such thing as wrongful termination in the workplace. But this is only true as long as there is not a contract in play that specifically states the reasons for why an employer can fire you. Most employers these days have those kinds of contracts.

What will a Lawyer Do?

A Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer will know both sides of the law and help you navigate through the legal system. The legal system is very complex and there’s a lot that you probably don’t know. A wrongful termination lawyer will also fight for your rights aggressively and represent you in court.

When Do I Need an Employment Lawyer?

Examples of where you would need a wrongful termination lawyer include:

If you have a strong disagreement with your employer but your employer doesn’t take you seriously and subsequently fires you.

If you file suit on your employer, as a result of being terminated, but don’t have a full understanding of both sides of the law.

If you have been fired for a reason that was not specified in the contract.

If you have been discriminated against by your employer based on age, gender, race or sexual orientation.

If you are not being paid the full amount of your wage

If you have pointed out something illegal to your employer, but they retaliate by firing you as a result.

When you will need a Los Angeles Sexual Harassment Lawyer

Sexual harassment is unfortunately a very common crime these days, and many people are turning to a sexual harassment lawyer if they feel that they have been the victim of sexual harassment. The story is no different in Los Angeles. Considering it’s the second largest city in the United States of America, there are quite a few sexual harassment cases that go on here in the city of Angels.

A Los Angeles sexual harassment lawyer will be able to help you by providing you with legal advice, filing paperwork for you, and perhaps most importantly, serving as your representative in court. A good lawyer should also have two qualities: a passion for their work and subsequently being dedicated to helping you in your case, and also having a full understanding of both sides of the law (and explaining both sides of the law to you as well).

Many people believe that a good lawyer is one who is very experienced. The most experienced lawyers in Los Angeles will be those who have worked on sexual harassment cases for at least ten years and have worked throughout the state of California and not just in Los Angeles. While having an experienced lawyer will no doubt be an asset (as well as more expensive), it is not a deal breaker. There are good experienced lawyers out there, as well as good ones who don’t quite have all of that experience. Instead, you should try to find one who is very reputable.
