Los Angeles, California, Wrongful Discharge Lawyers

In California, most employee-employer relationships are considered "at will," meaning that either party may terminate employment at any time for any reason whatsoever. However, there are a number of exceptions to this rule, such as being terminated for reasons of discrimination, or in an act of retaliation for reporting unlawful behavior by the employer. If you have recently been laid off, fired, or demoted in what you believe was an act of wrongful discharge, you may have a right to bring a claim against your employer.

To discuss the unique circumstances of your employment law dispute with a knowledgeable, experienced attorney, contact the Bononi Law Group  in Los Angeles, California. Our firm is highly regarded as a leader across the region in even the most complex employment law disputes.
