I will prepare your wrongful termination civil rights claim
About this Gig
Were you illegally fired from your job? If your termination was based on discrimination, retaliation, or another violation of your civil rights, you may have a wrongful termination claim.
As a licensed US attorney (Bar #272836) with a focus on civil rights, I will prepare the foundational documents for your claim. Simply being fired for an unfair reason isn't always illegal, but firing someone for a discriminatory reason is. I will help you articulate exactly how your rights were violated.
I will prepare a claim that connects your termination to an unlawful reason, such as:
- Discrimination (race, gender, age, disability, etc.)
- Retaliation for reporting illegal activity (whistleblowing)
- Taking legally protected leave (FMLA)
- Refusing to do something illegal
Why choose this Gig?
- Attorney-Level Strategy: I understand what constitutes a wrongful termination and will frame your claim accordingly.
- Professional Tone: A demand letter or complaint drafted by an attorney is immediately taken more seriously by your former employer and their counsel.
Clear Next Steps: My work provides you with a tangible asset to either negotiate a settlement or proceed with a formal agency filing.
Field of law:
Labor (employment)
Target country:
United States

FAQ
What makes a termination "wrongful"?
In most states, employment is "at-will," meaning you can be fired for almost any reason. A termination becomes "wrongful" or illegal when the reason for the firing violates a specific law, such as a civil rights act or whistleblower protection law.
What is a demand letter?
A demand letter is a formal document sent to your ex-employer outlining your legal claim and stating what you seek (e.g., severance, reinstatement). It's a powerful tool to open negotiations before a lawsuit is filed.
Do I have a good case?
The Basic "Claim Viability Assessment" package is designed to answer this exact question. I will review your facts and give you an honest, professional opinion on the strength of a potential claim.
What if my employer gave a false reason for firing me?
This is called "pretext." If we can show that the reason your employer gave was a cover-up for a discriminatory or retaliatory reason, you may have a very strong case. This is a key element I look for when drafting your claim.
How much information should I provide?
Provide everything you can: your termination letter, recent performance reviews, any emails or texts related to the firing, and a timeline of events leading up to it. The more detail, the better.
