Wrongful Termination
Employees are wrongfully terminated from the workplace, at an alarming rate in the state of California. The state
of California has laws to protect employees from management and employers who wrongfully terminate employees. A loss
of one's job can be a devastating and overwhelming tragedy in one's life.

The law protects workers from many types of workplace discrimination including sexual harassment. A worker may have
legal rights against his or her employer for illegal conduct. No employee should have to be fired or endure harassing
or discriminatory conduct by their employer. If you are being subjected to conduct by your employer that you suspect
is discriminatory, sexually harassing or in other ways illegal, or if you feel you have been wrongfully terminated;
contact our office now. You can fill out our questionnaire on-line and submit it to our office now. We will promptly
review your situation and contact you regarding your case.
Wrongful Termination
Firing an employee may or may not be legal. Letting a worker go may constitute wrongdoing in certain circumstances.
However, an experienced employment lawyer will recognize a viable wrongful termination case when he or she hears the
facts of the matter.
Contact the Law Offices of Eric P. Oren if you suspect discrimination because:
-
You used your lawful rights as a whistle blower to report workplace safety violations.
-
You reported other illegal activity (such as wage and hour violations or sex harassment)
at your place of employment.
-
You exercised the "Qui tam" provisions of federal law, allowing you as a private
individual, or whistleblower with knowledge of fraud committed against the U.S. federal
government to bring suit on its behalf.
-
You were apparently singled out from among other employees for firing on the basis of your
race, religion, sex, age or national origin.
-
You refused to engage in requested sexual activity – in other words, you were a target
of quid pro quo sexual harassment.
You may also have been the target of defamation in connection with your job loss. An empathetic, skillful and
aggressive wrongful termination lawyer on your side can be a valuable ally and a force for the cause of justice.
Do not roll over and accept a wrongful or retaliatory discharge as inevitable. Stand up for your rights.
