Most employment cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay attorney’s fees upfront. If there’s a recovery, fees are typically paid from the settlement or award. We’ll explain your options clearly after we review what happened.
In California, many jobs are “at-will,” so an employer may not have to give a reason. But they can’t fire you for an illegal reason like discrimination, retaliation, taking protected leave, reporting harassment, or requesting accommodations. If your firing followed something like that, it’s worth getting it reviewed.
Start by writing down what’s happening, dates, times, what was said or done, and who saw it. If you feel safe doing so, report it through HR or your company’s complaint process and keep copies of anything you submit. If the harassment continues or you’re worried about retaliation, talk with an employment attorney to protect yourself early.
Deadlines can be short and depend on your situation and the type of claim. Many California workplace claims require you to file with a state agency before you can sue, and timing matters. The safest move is to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible so you don’t miss a deadline.
Sometimes, yes. A severance agreement may include a release of certain claims, but it doesn’t always cover everything, and some rights can’t be waived the way employers want. Don’t assume it’s over. Have an attorney review what you signed (or what you’re being asked to sign) before you give up your options.
