Was Your Firing Unlawful? Key Termination Laws in Los Angeles

California is an at-will employment state, but employers in Los Angeles cannot fire workers for reasons that violate state or federal law. It is unlawful for employers to terminate employees due to discrimination based on protected categories, such as race, age, gender, religion, disability, or other characteristics. Additionally, firing an employee for reporting misconduct or exercising rights under local, state, or federal law, including taking protected leave under the California Family Rights Act or the federal FMLA, can be considered wrongful termination.

Written and implied contracts, as well as specific Los Angeles workplace regulations, may offer additional protection. Agencies like the California Civil Rights Department (formerly DFEH) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) often investigate employment claims. Termination claims that involve legal violations can proceed through the Stanley Mosk Courthouse or other relevant courts in Los Angeles County, depending on case specifics. Our attorneys understand these regulations and are prepared to help you determine if your termination was against the law and what actions are available to you.

What To Do If You Suspect Wrongful Termination

Quick, strategic action can protect your rights and maximize your options if you think you have been wrongfully or unlawfully terminated. Preserving information and understanding what to do first is critical when building your case in Los Angeles.

Take the following steps if you believe your firing was wrongful:

• Gather documentation: Retain emails, performance reviews, and any written communication related to your employment and termination.
• Record key events: Write down the timeline, details of who was involved, and the circumstances of your dismissal.
• Contact legal counsel first: Before confronting your former employer, consult an attorney to avoid accidental admissions or creating obstacles for your claim.
• Schedule a confidential consultation: Speak privately with a wrongful termination lawyer to discuss your concerns, rights, and next steps.

Deadlines called statutes of limitation may apply to your claim, so prompt action matters. By contacting us early in the process, our attorneys can assess your case, help you make informed choices, and guide you toward a practical path forward. Early support also helps us protect essential evidence and advise you on how to navigate this challenging situation in Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my firing was illegal in Los Angeles?

If you were fired for reasons involving discrimination, retaliation, refusal to participate in illegal activity, or for reporting workplace problems, your termination may have violated the law. In Los Angeles, both state and federal laws protect against unlawful reasons for firing, and local regulations may offer even broader coverage in some situations. The clearest way to know if your case qualifies is to discuss your situation with an attorney experienced in local and California employment law. Our legal team reviews your facts and helps identify whether you have grounds for a wrongful termination claim.

What does it cost to hire your wrongful termination lawyers?

Our services are provided on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no out-of-pocket costs, and our firm is only paid if we recover compensation on your behalf. Initial consultations are always free, and during that call, we explain our fee structure fully and answer your financial questions.

How long does a wrongful termination case take?

The timeline for resolving a wrongful termination claim in Los Angeles depends on several factors, such as the complexity of your case, the responsiveness of your former employer, and the current schedule at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse or the relevant court.
