All employees have basic rights under federal and state employment laws. This includes the right to be protected from wrongful termination. If you believe your employment was terminated for illegal reasons, we may be able to help. At Onyejekwe & Associates, LLP, our attorneys can evaluate your case, discuss your legal options with you, and help to protect you from unlawful termination from your employer.
New Jersey and New York are at will states. This means that employers have the right to fire or terminate an employee at anytime without providing a reason, as long as it is not for illegal reasons. However, even though they are at will states, when an employee is terminated from lawful employment for reasons that are deemed illegal, it is considered wrongful termination.
If you feel you have been wrongfully terminated from your job, Onyejekwe & Associates can help you file a claim. You have a limited timeframe in which you can file a claim from the date of the incident. Failure to file a claim within that window will waive your right to file a lawsuit in court, and consequently obtain monetary damages in the future.
If you believe you have been the victim of wrongful termination, it is important to hire a skilled and experienced attorney as soon as possible. Because employers have the right to fire an employee without providing a reason, it can be difficult to prove if their actions constitute a wrongful termination lawsuit. At Onyejekwe & Associates, we can evaluate your case, and discuss your best options for recovering damages. We will evaluate your employer’s motivation for firing you, and collect as much evidence as possible to obtain a large settlement. Most importantly, we are committed to ensuring your rights are protected, and that justice is served in the eyes of the law.
