Losing your job can be devastating—especially when it happens for unlawful reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblowing. Wrongful termination cases can affect not only your financial stability but also your professional reputation and emotional well-being. If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you need an attorney who understands California employment law and will fight for the justice and compensation you deserve.
Each year, countless employees in California face wrongful termination due to unlawful employer practices. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of state or federal laws, such as retaliation for reporting illegal activity, discrimination, or refusal to engage in unlawful acts.
The impact of wrongful termination extends beyond the loss of income. It can harm future career prospects, create emotional distress, and lead to long-term financial challenges. In many cases, employees are unaware of their rights or the strict time limits for filing a claim. Under California law, most wrongful termination claims must be filed within a limited window—making it critical to act quickly.
At The Kaufman Law Firm, we understand how complex and intimidating these cases can be. Led by Martin J. Kaufman, an AV-rated Super Lawyer with over 30 years of litigation experience, our firm is committed to holding employers accountable. We have successfully secured millions in verdicts and settlements for employees who were wrongfully terminated.
Our legal team will thoroughly investigate your case, gather evidence, and pursue all available claims—including compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees—ensuring that your rights are protected and justice is served.
