If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you deserve quality legal representation. Our wrongful termination attorneys in Oakland are ready to help you pursue justice.

What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer illegally dismisses an employee, violating state, federal or contractual rights. While most employment relationships in the United States are “at-will,” meaning employers can terminate workers without notice or reason, there are critical exceptions. Termination becomes unlawful if it is based on discrimination, retaliation, public policy violations or breaches of employment contracts.

At Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C., we help clients recognize situations where their termination may have been unjust and provide them with the tools to fight back.

Legal Protections for Employees

Employees are protected by a range of state and federal laws designed to enforce fair workplace practices. For instance:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees from discrimination based on race, color, gender, national origin or religion.
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) offers broad protections for employees, including stricter anti-discrimination standards.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) safeguards employees who need to take leave for personal or family medical issues.
Whistleblower protections let employees report illegal activities without fear of retaliation.

Understanding these protections can be complex; this is where Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. can help. With years of experience representing wrongfully terminated employees, we know which laws apply to your case and how to leverage them for a successful outcome.
