In some cases, if the employee wants their job back, we may be able to secure that outcome as well.

Call KJT Law Group so our wrongful termination lawyers in the San Fernando Valley can pursue that outcome on your behalf.
When Is Termination Considered “Wrongful” in the San Fernando Valley?
A termination is wrongful when it is an act of discrimination or an attempt to “punish” someone for taking part in a protected activity. Examples of illegal reasons to fire someone include:
- The worker’s race, color, or national origin
- The worker’s gender, sexuality, or pregnancy
- The worker’s age, disability, or medical condition
- The worker’s religion
- The worker’s decision to file for workers’ compensation benefits, file a complaint against the company, or start or join a union
Proving that wrongful termination occurred is not always easy. Most employers will not admit that their behavior was wrong, instead covering up discrimination or retaliation with excuses like:
- They are downsizing or reorganizing the company
- The employee’s job performance was not satisfactory
- The employee did something wrong or illegal
KJT Law Group understands how much you and your family depend on your ability to work—and how frightening and infuriating it is to be wrongfully terminated. We fight hard to protect our clients’ rights and give them the means of moving forward after the upheaval caused by an illegal termination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Termination
Can I Sue My Employer for Wrongful Termination?
Yes, being fired based on a protected status or activity could be grounds for a lawsuit. KJT Law Group might file a lawsuit right away, or we might try to settle the matter via negotiations first. If a trial is necessary, we would:
• Appear in court on your behalf
• Prepare you and other witnesses to testify as necessary
• Submit evidence, legal briefs, and other materials to the court
• Present the strongest possible arguments to prove you were wrongfully terminated
What Should I Do After Being Wrongfully Terminated?
Your first steps after a wrongful termination should include:
• Staying as calm as possible
• Filing complaints with HR, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and/or another agency
• Collecting evidence of conditions, statuses, or activities that might have led to the termination
• Contacting a wrongful termination lawyer
What Are the Odds of Winning a Wrongful Termination Suit?
The odds of winning vary from case to case. In situations with little evidence beyond the employer’s and employee’s respective sides of the story, it might be harder to win than in cases where there are internal records that prove the termination was illegal or other workers who can testify about discriminatory or retaliatory behavior.
KJT Law Group carefully investigates every case to collect all available evidence.
Is it Worth Filing a Wrongful Termination Case?
It is up to you to decide whether it is worth taking legal action. While you should not rush into such an important decision, there are typically legal deadlines you have to meet in these cases. It is best to discuss your options with your loved ones and our employment law attorneys, then decide what to do based on your needs and preferences.
