San Diego Wrongful Termination Lawyer
In California, private sector employment is considered to be "at will," meaning that the employer can terminate an employee for any reason other than one expressly forbidden by law.
That does not stop some employers from firing an employee illegally. In some cases, a particular employer will terminate an employee for reporting illegal behavior to the authorities or because the employee complained of sexual harassment or discrimination on the job. In other situations, an employer will fire an executive or professional employee in violation of an employment contract.
In cases such as these, the employee can sue for damages, including lost income, lost benefits, and in some cases for emotional distress and attorney's fees.
Alan K. Hahn is an attorney with more than 14 years experience in cases involving wrongful termination, discrimination and other employment law violations. His firm represents clients in wrongful termination cases involving:
Breach of contract — when an employer fails to live up to the terms of an employment contract, written or oral, express or implied
Discrimination — termination due to discrimination on the basis of membership in a protected class, such as gender, age, race, national origin or disability
Retaliation — termination because the employee made complaints about illegal treatment in the workplace, such as discrimination or sexual harassment.
Whistleblowing — termination because an employee reported illegal activity by the employer or another employee to a government agency
