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.
