## What Wrongful Termination employment law attorneys help with

### What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination refers to being fired for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation, or violation of an employment contract. Even in at-will employment states, employers cannot terminate workers for certain protected reasons.

Unlawful termination may involve:

1. Firing because of race, gender, age, disability, or other protected traits
2. Retaliation for reporting harassment, discrimination, or safety concerns
3. Termination for taking protected leave
4. Breaches of employment contracts or union agreements

### Common Wrongful Termination Issues

- Sudden or unexplained changes in performance reviews
- Inconsistent or shifting explanations for termination
- Loss of income, benefits, and career opportunities
- Stress and reputational harm after being fired
- Deadlines for filing agency charges or lawsuits

### Types of Wrongful Termination Cases Lawyers Handle

Employment attorneys evaluate and pursue a range of termination-related claims, such as:

- Discriminatory or retaliatory discharge cases
- Breach-of-contract and severance disputes
- Terminations tied to whistleblowing or safety complaints
- Layoffs that disproportionately affect protected groups
