Wrongful Termination
Claims that a firing broke fundamental California public policy—not merely an unfair decision at work.
In plain terms
California recognizes that most jobs are “at will,” but there are still lines an employer cannot cross. If you were fired because you refused to break the law, did something the law actually required, exercised a legal workplace right, or spoke up about conduct that matters to the public, that kind of firing may violate public policy—not just hurt your feelings. Cases like these usually boil down to whether your employer ended your job and whether that kind of misconduct was a real driving reason for letting you go.
