If you’ve been wrongfully terminated in California, you may have more options than you realize.

Losing your job is difficult. When it happens unlawfully, the consequences can impact every aspect of your life. At Brandon Banks Law APC, we represent California employees who believe they were wrongfully terminated and work to ensure their rights are protected.

If your termination may have involved discrimination, retaliation, or harassment based on a protected status such as gender, disability, race, or age, please let us know.

If I Quit, Do I Still Have a Case?

Well… it depends. Quitting doesn’t automatically kill your claim in California in every situation. If you were forced to quit, the law may still have your back in certain instances.

Sometimes people reach out thinking they have a wrongful termination claim, but not everyone does.

In California, employment is generally at-will, meaning you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.

But there are exceptions. For example, if you were terminated because of a protected characteristic (like race, gender, disability, or age), in retaliation for whistleblowing, or for another reason that may violate public policy.

If something feels off about how or why you were let go, a consultation with an employment attorney may help you understand where you stand.

We say no more than we say yes.

That’s intentional. We’re a boutique firm, so we’re selective. The cases we take on get our full effort. We show up ready to give our all.

After all, it’s not always about the size of the dog in the fight. It’s the size of the fight in the dog.

Was Your Job Really Eliminated?

Position elimination cases can be complex. Sometimes businesses legitimately need to reduce headcount or eliminate roles that are no longer necessary. However, I’ve also seen reductions in force used as a reason to terminate employees after they make protected complaints.
If the timing or explanation doesn’t add up, it’s worth taking a closer look. If you believe your position was “eliminated” shortly after making a protected complaint, it may be helpful to speak with an employment attorney about your options.

Litigation Isn’t Always About the Truth, It’s About the Proof.

In litigation, what really happened matters, but what you can prove often matters more. If you make a protected complaint, make sure to keep supporting documents such as emails, texts, or written notes. That paper trail could be the difference between justice and an uphill battle.

If you’ve faced retaliation or termination after making a protected complaint at work, let’s connect.

Got Fired After Reporting Harassment or Discrimination at Work? Here’s What You Should Know.

Losing your job right after making a complaint doesn’t always feel like a coincidence, because sometimes it isn’t.

In California, employers cannot fire you for reporting harassment or discrimination based on a protected characteristic like race, gender, age, or disability. But most employers are smart enough not to say that’s the reason. They’ll point to performance, attitude, or fit instead.
What matters is the full picture. What you reported, when you reported it, and when the adverse action followed. Timing and context can say a lot.

If you were let go after making a protected complaint at work, it may be worth having a conversation to understand what your options are.

Many people who reach out to my office believe they have a wrongful termination claim, but not everyone does.

In California, employment is generally considered at-will, meaning you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. This catches a lot of people off guard.

That said, there are exceptions worth knowing about. If you were terminated because of a protected characteristic (like race, gender, disability, or age), in retaliation for whistleblowing, or for a reason that may violate public policy, it could be worth exploring further.

If something feels off about how or why you were let go, a consultation can help you understand where you stand.

Sometimes people call and ask, “Can I sue my employer for stressing me out?” The answer, as many lawyers often say, is, “It depends.”

If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated or unlawfully harassed in the workplace, it may be beneficial to consult an employment attorney in your area to determine whether they can assist you.
