Navruz is truly a gem of an attorney and I’m honored to have had her by my side representing me in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
From the very first phone consultation I had with Navruz, I immediately knew she was who I wanted to represent me. She was extremely sharp, honest, inquisitive, assertive, all while at the same time, compassionate and empathetic. What differentiated Navruz from all the other attorneys I had spoken with was that I felt like she truly believed in me and my story- a sentiment that never wavered with her as our lawsuit progressed.
Throughout the lawsuit, I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge, work ethic, effective communication skills, and unwavering patience in educating me about the law and each step of the lawsuit. I always felt I was part of the process in every way. Though I knew I was in good hands throughout the process, it wasn’t until I saw in her action that affirmed for me she was definitely the right choice. Though kind and compassionate with me, Navruz was a force to be reckoned with the other side. She was prepared, strategic, relentless, quick thinking, assertive, and never wavered in ensuring the best possible outcome for me. In the end, we were able to successfully resolve the case, and I was able to finally close this chapter of my life.
Words cannot even begin to describe the amount of gratitude I have for Navruz, and it truly is an honor to have her by your side!

I spoke to a social worker in regards to the stability of their home life when they aren't with me. Being concerned about my daughter, and the inconsistency of her lifestyle which concerned me quite a bit whenever she would take the kids or present a different new boyfriend/place to stay.. (for the most part I have raised them/they lived w/me) I began to get concerned about how they were being affected by her irresponsibility as a parent. Later to find out that they were not attending school, and my oldest grandson taking on the babysitter role and would get in trouble for his little brother in which he became a totally different kid (quite angry about his whole environmen) he was told to lie to me if I asked him questions. My grandson started to call me when his mom would sleep/ or wasn't home and he would tell me things. I convinced my daughter to let me take them to live with me during the week so I can enroll them back in school and fix the inconsistency again time passed and they were safe with me; She started telling me things when she didn't get her way, trying to manipulate saying she was taking the kids from me (*if I talked to her about lying, and being irresponsible etc...) I got to the point that I needed to help these kids before she really screwed them upore and swore to look; nyo things and if she ever got into trouble shoplifting etc... I would use it to my advantage. The social worker referred me to Legal services for children and I started to work on getting guardianship and soon enough she went to jail. They were great, they helped me so much with everything including emergency paperwrk for serving her in jail for restraining order etc .. they came to my home to talk to the kids and I. They made it smooth like butter explaining everything!!! So glad she recommended this place. Perfect for kids who eed help!!!

Navruz was a gift from above during a very difficult time for me. Her ethics and integrity took my case out of principle over price. She supported my direction based on her knowledge of the law. We chose to settle out of court because I wanted to, but I know that she could have been awarded millions if we went to trial. She is that good. I trust and respect Navruz as my lawyer and now as my friend. I 1000% support Avloni Law to anyone who has this need. She will fight to the end and support her client's case with data and the law. Good people are hard to find. So, I am lucky to say that I found a good one.

Susan Rubenstein was very effective at handling my employment issues and she negotiated a great settlement for me. She is very experienced and was excellent at mapping out an exit strategy for me which worked out perfectly. She is very hard working and smart, and she can easily deal with experienced opposing counsel. She was able to get me what I wanted in a very professional and stress free manner. I would highly recommend her. She is also very responsive, always returned my calls, and kept me informed. She is also a super compassionate person and it was a pleasure to work with her. She was very supportive and seemed to understand all of my problems - legal and otherwise.

Sam was a lifesaver as my lawyer. Right from the start, he was super professional and really knew his stuff. What I really appreciated was how he didn't pretend to have all the answers. If he was unsure, he'd reach out to other lawyers to get the best advice, which was awesome.
He was great at explaining all the legal jargon and made sure I understood what was going on. Plus, he was always a step ahead in the game, which paid off big time.
Most importantly, Sam was always there to keep me in the loop. It felt more like having a friend in the legal world who genuinely cared about my case. Honestly, if you're in a tough spot and need legal help, Sam's your guy. He's not just a great lawyer but a great person to have on your side.

I cannot recommend Attorney Susan Bluer highly enough. I hired Ms. Bluer to handle my severance negotiation, and she exceeded all expectations.
From the outset, Ms. Bluer was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my case. She patiently answered my questions, ensuring I understood every step of the legal process.
Ms. Bleur's negotiation skills are second to none. She secured a severance package that was eight times the initial offer. I am beyond grateful for her dedication and advocacy.
If you're facing a legal challenge, do not hesitate to contact Attorney Bluer. She is a true champion for her clients, and I'm so thankful I had her on my side.

Susan is an unparalleled employee advocate. Beyond her extraordinary legal prowess, she is incredibly responsive, honest to a fault and does so with tremendous integrity. I would recommend her to anyone who has experienced discrimination or mistreatment in the workplace. She will have your back and will do so with grace and kindness.

Hired to handle an ADA Accommodation issue, turning employer's unhelpful solutions into a more adaptive approach of hybrid work. Without Bluer Law, it would've trended towards a significant loss and increase in stress.

Supreeta was a joy to work with! She’s very dedicated to your case and getting results. As a high ranking female in the banking industry who was discriminated against on the basis of age and gender, I was fortunate to have her as such a professional and conscientious advocate who got great results. I highly recommend her.

Supreeta provided me legal support when I was experiencing potential discrimination upon returning to work from parental leave. I felt like I was in very good hands with her, given how knowledgeable and action-oriented she is. She was also exceptionally responsive, which really helped me deal with the challenges I was encountering. If I ever have these issues again, Supreeta is the first person I will call, and I’d highly recommend her to others.

I am a senior woman in my company and was being forced out of the firm for unclear reasons -- and being treated unfairly, to say the least. Another employment lawyer I know socially recommended Supreeta to me, and she was a godsend in an otherwise completely awful few weeks. I called her with an immediate ask, and she was able to squeeze me in, advise me of my options, and work on my separation agreement (quick turns), all in the span of 2-3 days. She was responsive, smart, reasonable, empathetic, and dependable. She was able to lay out various paths for action, options for language, tailored the approach to me, and armed me with both knowledge and resources. On top of that, she is incredibly kind and easy to talk to -- I'd love to have her as a friend! While I hope to never be in this situation again, I would rehire her in a heartbeat. Supreeta exceeds all expectations of what you get when you hire a lawyer.

I needed to consult with an attorney regarding a situation I was having with my work: I was returning to work after having been on disability leave for about five months. I was very concerned about my company’s inquiries and documentation requirements for my return to work because I had good reason to believe they were infringing on my right to privacy of my Protected Health Information as a currently disabled person and also that they were discriminating against me. It was so incredibly hard to find an attorney who was willing to take my case and consult with me. I called around for many hours with zero luck. And then I found Richard!! He was willing to help me and I was so relieved to finally have found someone who will be on my side. He had excellent suggestions and advice, and reminded me of the privacy and confidentiality I have with him via attorney-client privilege. I felt safe discussing very sensitive matters with him and he really went above and beyond in helping me. It was obvious to me that he is very knowledgeable about employment law. He presented multiple scenarios to me of how my situation might play out and that is why I felt more than prepared when I had to speak with HR again. I am happy to say I am back at work now with all HR and privacy matters having been resolved. If I ever need legal advice on a future employment situation, I know I will be calling Richard again. He was also always prompt at responding to my emails, which was great, because I had certain deadlines to make in regards to my return to work. I cannot thank you enough, Richard.

I got connected to Rich through one of his attorney relationships, and I am so glad I did! I am also an attorney with general knowledge of employment law, and Rich quickly earned my confidence and respect.
Rich is both experienced and compassionate - I always felt my stress reduce after we chatted - and he kept me on track/focused on the end goal.
With Rich's counsel, I got the exact result I wanted in every sense of the word: I am receiving ALL payments (without even having to provide standard additional documentation) while keeping relationships intact. He skillfully reined me in when I was irritated, which I believe was critical to achieving these results.
Rich was exceptionally generous with his time. He knew I didn't want to litigate - my case did not have the potential to involve much money for him - yet he frequently gave me additional time when he did not have to. It is clear to me that Rich genuinely cares about his clients.
Highly, highly recommended!!

I still cannot believe my luck to have found Attorney Vaznaugh…
I met him due to the sexual harassment and retaliatory firing I suffered from a certain company.
Since my case was more unusual than a straightforward situation, I wouldn’t have never hopped to find such powerful and devoted legal representation.
Not only did Mr. Vaznaugh believed me, he also fought for me to get justice for almost three years!…
On top of his very considerate and heartfelt support, he got me a settlement considerably bigger than I ever dreamed of.
I highly recommend him to anyone because he doesn’t stop until justice is done!!!…

I have known Sarah for two years. During that time I have met a few of her clients, and they RAVE about her representation, skills and passion. As a colleague, Sarah is generous with her expertise, funny, warm and smart.

If you're looking for a strategic and thoughtful partner in advocating for your rights - not just in handling the legalese, but navigating the highs & lows of the litigation process itself - look no further than Sarah Nichols.
Sarah brings unparalleled, sharp legal expertise to the table with a creative and collaborative mindset that unlocks friction throughout what can be a lengthy and arduous legal process. Sarah's ability to keep the big picture in mind allowed our team to focus on priorities and necessary legal milestones despite the myriad of disruptions from opposing counsel over the course of 2 years. Sarah also navigated new COVID regs & ever-changing policies with ease; her being digitally savvy was a leg up in our process.
As a fellow mother, Sarah also knew when to simply support me as a person having just experienced workplace discrimination and retaliation. I always felt heard, empowered and included as part of the process; never talked down to. She was a true partner and confidant, forever influencing (for the better) my personal path ahead.
The words 'thank you' simply do not capture the amount of gratitude I have for Sarah and her team. They will be forever written in my story of life as critical influencers for the good ahead.

I worked for one of the largest tech firms in Silicon Valley and was subjected to discrimination. Luckily I knew Sarah from my network, and she advocated for me through a 6 month process that ended with a favorable settlement for myself. Although I have no direct comparison, it is difficult to imagine a better lawyer to have on your side. Most importantly, at every step and decision, Sarah was clearly advocating and recommending the best outcome for myself, not trying to maximize or speed her gain. This included her supporting me “walking away” from a significant offer, despite months of work from herself. Unfortunately, the discrimination continued, but fortunately I had Sarah as a continued advocate. She provided immediate guidance, responded within minutes to incidents, and ultimately secured a substantial offer with every detail negotiated for my benefit. Apparently Sarah took vacation during my discrimination ordeal, but I would never have know given her responsiveness.
Sarah is not only extremely competent and hard working; she is selfless and displays tremendous empathy. I can not imagine a better legal experience during employment torment.

Reached out to Jennifer needing assistance with commission/monies owed and a potential Work Visa issue due to a contract not being honoured, very combative firm/management.
Jennifer proposed a strategy that was not aggressive, offered them options to avoid accruing legal fees with lots of back & forth. When they refused to come to the table she stepped in and in a matter of weeks I was paid the exact amount we discussed and legal separation was signed off on.
A highly stressful & sensitive situation and she walked me through it and went into bat for me when needed.
Strongly, strongly recommend.

A friend of mine referred Jenny to me prior to my termination. When I was abruptly terminated, Jenny called my employer immediately to let them know I was already represented by council even though she had a deposition to go to that day. She made time for me when I needed her help most. This did not change through the ten-month process to come to a settlement. The other side all but ignored our communications and attempts at settlement hoping we would just go away. But Jenny does not go away, she stays and fights for her clients. She ultimately drafted a well-researched and very strategic complaint and gave them a short window of time to either respond or she would file the complaint in Superior Court. They immediately responded and the case was settled within a week. I ultimately received about 2.7 times my original severance offer which represented a very significant settlement. Jenny always worked with me on the fees which I felt were very fair. She is a dedicated, intelligent and experienced attorney who can keep things in perspective and reassure you when you have doubts. I don’t think I would have ever been able to get through this process and with this outcome with anyone other than Jenny.

Eric is an excellent attorney, especially good at negotiations and getting matters settled to the satisfaction of the client. What I especially liked about Eric is that he listens and has a conversation with you. He respects your needs and wishes and gets it done. He is an excellent writer, he drafts agreements well, good reviewer and he's thoughtful. What this all means is that he is someone you can trust and get you through your case successfully. Eric is a terrific attorney and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney or legal counsel. I had a very positive experience with Eric who did not give up and got me through a very challenging matter with great success as far as I am concerned. I am extremely grateful I found him. He just gets what you want. He extracts you cleaning from matters and ensures that the other side understands exactly what they have done and what they are facing. I was very lucky to find Eric and I stand by my review because he absolutely helped me get restitution and finality. Thank you.

I highly recommend attorney, Eric Gruber of the Gruber Law Group.
I was rear-ended while driving on the 101 freeway in Marin County, California. I sustained neck and back injuries and was not being properly compensated for my medical bills by the at-fault party's insurance company.
I knew I was being treated very poorly by the insurance company, but I did not know who to turn to. Two other attorneys turned me away because my case was not big enough. Eric was then recommended to me by a lawyer friend. I hired Eric and he assisted me quickly and got me the additional monetary compensation that was appropriate.
My experience with Eric was extremely positive because he was personable, easy to talk to and he always returned my calls in a timely fashion. He explained a range of options and strategies for me to consider, gave me his opinion and left the decision to me. I highly recommend Eric because he is intelligent, ethical, conscientious and caring. I would not hesitate to hire Eric Gruber and the Gruber Law Group for other legal needs in the future.

I have consulted Mr. Gruber on several personal injury matters as he specializes in motor vehicle accidents along with catastrophic injuries. Mr. Gruber brings a wide breadth of knowledge and his analysis on cases has always been spot on. I have found Mr. Gruber to be meticulous and strategic in his approach to practicing law, which is a breath of fresh air in the personal injury space.

Carlos won our case for us when we were pushed out of our home by our landlord in San Francisco. A rent controlled home that I resided in for over 10 years starting in 2004. He didn't give up on us in a battle of a very big SF real estate company versus an individual family and and in the end we came out on top. He is very professional and a very kind person. I would recommend Carlos to anyone out there in a similar case.

I just wanted to take a moment to not only post my highest recommendation for Barbara, but also thank her. When I first started looking for representation, my instinct was to search online. I went to a few interviews with other attorneys , but I didn't feel like they understood the complexities and severity of what I had gone through. They all wanted to take my case, but I felt like a number...as though it was all just dollar signs to them.
Finally after much effort and frustration, I asked one of my attorney friends who he thought was the best in the industry. Right away, he arranged a phone consultation with Barbara. After our initial conversation, she made time to meet with me as soon as possible.
She understood the minute intricacies of what I experienced immediately. It was a very difficult/ painful issue to talk about, and Barbara made me feel welcome and understood. She not only is an absolute master in her field, but she is very astute and empathetic as well. From there, Barbara & her protege Emily Stehr ( brilliant rising star), took care of every detail. They produced and amazing outcome while at the same time caring for my discretion. I can't recommend these ladies enough. Barbara and Emily are the best, and I'm so thankful that I found them:):):)
....On a side note, I really appreciated how Barbara took such meticulous care and attention to mentoring the next generation to follow her. Emily is clearly going to be a leader in her field, just like Barbara:):)

I’ve retained Rich Falcone @ Littler in four separate employment matters (sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, employment discrimination, and traditional labor.) Rich’s decades of experience, deep intellect, tenacity, and common sense combined to yield sterling results in every instance. Littler as a Firm is unparralled in their depth and breadth of expertise in virtually every area applicable to employment and traditional labor law. Working together with Rich & Littler, it’s like having both Mike Tyson and Kobe Bryant on your team!

As a former practicing lawyer, I have had several occasions to retain legal counsel for the companies I help run. His representation over the last 14 months was superb. As defendants in a class action wage and over time claim in Federal court we were gratified to have the matter dismissed in its entirety just this week, 5/11/09. Strongly recommend.

Rich Falcone is a superb attorney and client advocate. He is also very skilled at negotiation and mediation. In addition, Rich is a super trial attorney and litigator. I have used Rich as an attorney on numerous (more than 20 cases) for both business clients and individuals and each time, he continually impressed me with his skill, professionalism, common sense and ability to craft a fair resolution or successful outcome for his clients. Rich is one of the best attorneys in California - without question. I would recommend him, without reservation, for any employment, contract issues, union negotiation, labor & employment matter, training, litigation, etc, for which you need a strong and effective legal advocate - with a great deal of common sense. Strongly Recommend!

I needed guidance as to how to best navigate a difficult situation with my employer. I met with Richard Hoyer and worked with Ryan Hicks. Both were excellent at being responsive at any hour to discuss my concerns or questions. They were extremely tactful at advocating and protecting my interests. They exceeded my expectations and I would recommend their services to anyone who is considering retaining an employment law expert.

My case involved a large institution and employment status. I am very pleased with the settlement agreement Ryan was able to obtain for me as a worker. Ryan was knowledgeable and very responsive to my questions and suggestions and keep the process moving with opposing counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend Ryan to anyone with employment related conflicts. A family friend who is a Chief Legal Officer knowledgeable in this area commented that it was his opinion I was very well represented.

I had an employment law case with some co-workers and we were seeking unpaid wages and overtime. We had some other attorneys who had worked on the case for 2 years who all of a sudden just abruptly quit on us. So I checked google for employment attorneys and found Hoyer and Associates. Richard Hoyer personally called me back and agreed to take our case free of any up front cost. He paid all the fees to file the lawsuit and they reached a settlement that was above all our expectations. This law firm did what they said they would do. Richard Hoyer and Ryan Hicks operate in an extremely professional manner. I would definitely recommend Hoyer and Associates to anyone with an employment law issue.

I was at a very low point of my life when I got terminated from a very popular and huge financial institution. I was dealing with major health issues combined with my livelihood being taken from me. Upon my first conversation with Chris, I felt an immediate connection. He not only showed an interest in me but listened to the facts of my case. When I met Chris in person at his office, he was very polite and professional. I think what impressed me the most was his sincere interest in me and how I had been treated by this Company. He looked online and shared with me the labor laws pertaining to my case due to a wrongful termination. Chris explained the legalities of which I was entitled to and explained with a lot of detail what could be ahead of me. He shared with me the anticipated window of time that my case could more than likely take. He provided with me the choices I could/would be presented with as time would take over in my case. Chris always handled my office visits professionally and always offered me coffee, water and even something to eat. His office environment was quite comfortable, clean, and orderly. ......I was a 57 woman with health issues when I lost my job. In all honesty, this was not the sort of retirement I looked forward to after 40 years of working. However, I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone, but if some type of similarities are being experienced........Chris Leclerc is the attorney to talk to first!!!!!! You will get a truly honest response to any questions!

Would definitely recommend Mr. Louie. He helped our family with our Will, and proved himself knowledgable and pleasant to work with. He stood apart from some of the other attorneys i spoke with, in that he didn't try to make the work more complicated than it had to be, which made me trust him. His firm's rates were also very reasonable.

Robert Aaron assisted me in a wage claim on commissions due in the digital media space. He was generous with his time and expertise...gave me fair and unbiased opinion as the the relative merits of my case and the liklihood of if it was going to trial or settle. It took about 10 months to settle...and involved a settlement conference. He was always prepared and was a calming influence. The end was result was satisfactory. I would recommend him without hesitation.

One of Attorney Khadder's CELA colleagues (a fellow attorney) highly recommended him. During the free consultation, Attorney Khadder took the time to understand my case, reviewing all of the relevant documents and weighing the pros and cons of various options. During this process, he really took the time to listen and empathize, even when I was rambling! Attorney Khadder followed through on all of his promises and ultimately obtained a positive result for me. I really appreciate how he communicated clearly at every stage of the case. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to contact an employment attorney, I would suggest giving Attorney Khadder a call.

I am an attorney myself and retained Mr. Cohen to represent me in a civil litigation matter. I could not have been more pleased with his representation. Without hesitation, I give him an A+ in all areas, including professionalism, competency, knowledge, responsiveness, personality, etc. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find an attorney with these attributes, let alone one who cares about his client's circumstances and goals.

I had so much inaccurate information on my credit report! I tried for years to get my credit report fixed by doing it on my own or hiring a credit repair company but with no luck. I got in touch with Mike Cardoza and it was the best decision I ever made. Mike reviewed my situation and told me I had a good case and for me to sit back while he handled the rest. Not only was EVERY inaccuracy on credit report fixed in a few months but Mike also made the credit bureau pay me for what they put me through! This process was so smooth and seamless and now I can accomplish the things I want to accomplish for my family. Thanks Mike!

I knew of Mr. Sherman's excellent reputation in helping businesses in financially significant legal matters, so took a chance to ask his assistance with a personal situation which, though with fewer dollars at stake, was also important to me in terms of good neighborhood relations. I was impressed with how quickly he responded, how well he listened to me and immediately grasped both the legal and interpersonal issues, and though obviously busy with more "major" cases quickly took action on my behalf in a most assertive yet professional manner. In this instance presenting his thorough analysis of relevant case law dissuaded the other party from their intent to engage in costly litigation, and won for me a better resolution than I could have imagined in terms of my financial goals and, due to his style of engagement, unexpected respect and good will from the opposing party. He's sharp as a tack, dogged in pursuit of his client's interests, and a warm and compassionate human being.

I was in an unfortunate motorcycle accident a year and a half ago. I tried to deal with the insurance companies on my own. I hadn’t gotten too far along until I realized I was in over my head, and needed the help of an attorney. At this point, luckily, a good friend of mine recommended George Choulos.
George was very professional. He helped me navigate every step of the process between the various parties involved: doctors, insurance, etc. He was very communicative about the little details, which made me most comfortable. He helped me get a full settlement within a matter of months. Thank you, George!

Last year I found Warren law firm through Google, I had tried 5 other law firms and no one wanted to take my case. I had 4 days to respond to my denial of my Green Card and Angela, Suyapa and the whole team set aside everything to work on my case and they worked effortlessly and went above and beyond. Within a month my denial was resolved and today I have my Green Card almost a year later!
If you want a team that will fight for you and will not back down to a challenge this is the firm you should go with. I am so grateful for their dedication and hard work!!! I highly recommend them!!!

After being dismissed from my work because of a physical
disability, I hired Ms. Machen to represent me. From the get-go, she carefully counseled me on my options and immediately wrote a strong letter to my employer laying out the legal missteps they had made, including discrimination and wage and hour violations. Within two months of my contacting her, she negotiated a settlement that will give me financial stability while I continue to recuperate and take the next steps in my career.

I highly recommend Oleg Albert with Le Clerc & Le Clerc. Hands down, there is not a better person qualified to handle a sexual harassments/wrongful termination case around. Oleg Albert is an expert in is field. He is truly amazing, honest, compassionate, professional, down to earth and very responsive.
We had a long, initial consultation in which I poured out all of my necessary information regarding my case to see if he and his team could help me. I signed the retainer agreement that day. Oleg Albert was extremely courteous, sympathetic and empathetic, and he was truly concerned for my well-being.
Le Clerc & Le Clerc firm was professional and knowledgeable during the entire case process. They took care of everything. The legal process was performed with perfection, care and expertise. Deadlines were always met and I never worried how my case was being handled. My case took nearly a year and a half, and as we were approaching the end, I thought that I was going to just lose it but Mr. Albert kept me on track that ended in a satisfying settlement.
I would HIGHLY recommend Oleg Albert to represent your legal matters. Mr. Albert's drive, intellect and compassion set him apart from any other attorney I know. He truly cares about his clients and their best interests.

I want to start by saying; this has been a very interesting and rewarding experience that I wish no one should ever go through. But in the case anyone is faced with an unlawful and injustice situation, it calming to know we can call on Oleg. Back in 2019, I was involved in a lawsuit with my former employer. During this time, it was stressful emotionally and financially not knowing what would come of my case. Oleg and his team did an effective job walking me through the steps from beginning to end. Below, I have identified into three categories that presents my feedback.
Communication/ Responsiveness – Whenever I had a question or the lawsuit advance onto the next stage, Oleg was clear and precise on this delivery of information. This information was prioritized based upon what was relevant or what current concerns were. Oleg is easy to talk to. As he gets to know his clients more during the beginning process, I do see that he adapts his tone, speed, and vocabulary to mirror with his clients’ expectations. He is easily reached by phone, text, or email.
Knowledge/Experience – Good knowledge (including California concentrated) and years of experience in overall employment law segment. During the beginning of my journey, Oleg explained to me how my former employer violated the law in ways that I wasn’t aware of. He ran me through the steps of what should have happened vs what did happen. I value the fact that Oleg will not overpromise the outcome of my case, but gave me possible realistic scenarios even if it sometimes wasn’t in my favor. He did an excellent job explaining to me what to expect as we moved along in the process.
Effort – A lawyer that always has a plan is someone you want in your corner. During my process with Oleg, I felt he did all that was necessary to reach the best possible outcome of my case. He took extra action during the discovery process (took longer than I would like to have) but got all the info to put forth an effective case. During the length of the lawsuit, I felt Oleg was eager to push forward without losing any steam. Punctual and positive attitude from the day we won the case back to the day he accepted the case.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.
