Helping Workers Who Were Fired for Unlawful Reasons
California is an at-will employment state. This means that an employer can fire an employee for any reason if there is not an employment contract and the reason is lawful. If you believe you were fired for an illegal reason, it is important to speak with an experienced employment law lawyer as soon as possible.
At the Barron Law Corporation, we have helped workers file legal claims since 1991. Our founding attorney, Deborah Barron, is dedicated to ensuring fair treatment for workers, using federal and state law to protect workers from illegal actions by their employers. We understand the stress and financial strain that come from losing your job, and if you were wrongfully terminated we will work hard to hold your employer accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.

What Qualifies As Wrongful Termination?
There are a variety of illegal reasons that a worker may be fired. Some of these reasons include:
- Discrimination: It is illegal for an employer to fire a worker based on the worker's race, gender, age, sexual orientation or disability. Those who suffer job discrimination may bring a lawsuit.
- Sexual harassment: If a manager or supervisor makes repeated sexual comments or makes sexual advances and the worker rejects that behavior, it is illegal for the manager to fire that worker.
- Retaliation: Workers are allowed to protest and resist unlawful activities like discrimination and harassment. Workers are also allowed to report, or blow the whistle, on employers who commit fraud or safety violations.
- Constructive termination: If conditions or the environment at work are so terrible that the worker could not reasonably continue the job, then the worker may quit and sue for lost wages.
