Wrongful Termination

Being fired unfairly can feel devastating, especially when it comes without warning, without explanation, or after you’ve spoken up about something that wasn’t right. If you believe your termination was unjust, retaliatory, or based on discrimination, you’re not imagining things. Your experience matters, and you deserve clarity and protection.

At Wrk Legal, we support employees who’ve been pushed out of their jobs for reasons that violate the law. We understand the emotional and financial toll of losing your job, and we approach every case with compassion, privacy, and the care you deserve.

What Counts as Wrongful Termination?

Most employees are “at-will,” but at-will does not mean an employer can fire you for any reason. Your termination may be illegal if it happened because you:

  • Reported harassment, discrimination, or misconduct

  • Requested medical leave or reasonable accommodations

  • Participated in a workplace investigation

  • Complained about wage theft or unfair treatment

  • Disclosed a disability, pregnancy, or protected status

  • Refused to do something unsafe or unethical

If any of this feels familiar, it’s worth exploring your rights.
