Frequently Asked Questions

Is California an at-will state? Can I still sue for wrongful termination?
Yes, most private sector employees in California are “at-will”, but firing an employee for unlawful reasons is still against the law. Proving the true reasons for termination requires careful consideration of all surrounding circumstances.

How much is a wrongful termination case worth?
The answer to this question depends on many tangible and intangible factors, including your damages, the egregiousness of the employer’s conduct, your and the employer’s attitude toward pursuing & defending the case and negotiating strategy.
