California is an at-will employment state — but that doesn't mean your employer can fire you for any reason. If you were terminated because of discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, or exercising your legal rights, you may be owed significant compensation.

Your employer can't fire you for these reasons — and if they did, you have a case.
Fired because of your race, age, gender, disability, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin. FEHA protects you even if the employer gives a different reason.
Fired for reporting harassment, discrimination, safety violations, or illegal conduct. Also covers filing a wage claim, requesting accommodations, or exercising any legal right.
Fired for taking FMLA/CFRA leave, requesting time off for a medical condition, or using sick leave. Your employer must hold your job — or provide a comparable one — when you return.
Fired for reporting fraud, tax evasion, safety hazards, regulatory violations, or any illegal business practice — internally or to a government agency. California has some of the strongest whistleblower protections in the nation.
If you had a written or implied contract — including promises made in an employee handbook, offer letter, or verbal agreement — your employer may have breached it by terminating you.
Fired for refusing to do something illegal, performing jury duty, voting, filing a workers' comp claim, or any other activity protected by public policy. These terminations violate California law.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique.
Tell us why you were fired. We'll evaluate the circumstances, review any documentation you have, and tell you honestly whether you have a case — and what it could be worth.
We gather evidence — emails, HR records, performance reviews, witness statements — and file your claim. We handle negotiations, mediation, and litigation if needed.
Lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney fees. California has no cap on wrongful termination damages. You pay nothing unless we win.
