About this Gig
Losing your job is devastating. If you believe your termination was not just unfair, but illegal, you have rights. As a US Attorney (Bar# 331016) specializing in civil rights and employment law, I can help you prepare the foundational document for your wrongful termination claim.
Many states are "at-will," but this does not give employers a right to fire you for an illegal reason. Illegal reasons include termination based on your race, gender, age, disability, religion, or in retaliation for engaging in a protected activity.
This Gig Provides a Professionally Drafted Claim That Will:
- Clearly state the facts leading up to your termination.
- Connect your firing to a protected status or activity.
- Serve as a powerful tool for settlement negotiations, agency filings, or as a starting point for litigation.
How I Work:
You provide the backstory, the "reason" your employer gave for termination, and the real reason you believe you were fired. I will synthesize this into a formal, legally-informed document that makes your case compellingly.
Don't let an illegal firing go unchallenged. This draft is your first step in fighting back.
This service is limited to document preparation.
Field of law:
Labor (employment)
Target country:
United States

FAQ
I was an "at-will" employee. Can I still have a claim?
Yes. "At-will" means you can be fired for any legal reason, or no reason at all. It does not protect an employer who fires you for an illegal reason, such as discrimination or retaliation.
What makes a termination "wrongful" in the legal sense?
A termination is legally wrongful if the primary motivating factor was your membership in a protected class (e.g., race, gender, age), or if it was in retaliation for a legally protected action you took.
What kind of evidence is helpful?
Performance reviews showing you were a good employee, emails or texts that show discriminatory bias, witness information, and the timing of your termination relative to an event (e.g., fired a week after reporting harassment).
What can I do with the claim draft you prepare?
You can use it as a basis to send a demand letter to your ex-employer, file a complaint with the EEOC or a state agency, or provide it to a litigation attorney if you choose to pursue a lawsuit.
Is there a deadline to file a wrongful termination claim?
Yes, there are strict deadlines called statutes of limitations. For EEOC claims, it can be as short as 180 days from the date of termination. It is your responsibility to know and meet these deadlines.
