Holding back the difficult facts from your lawyer or potential lawyer doesn’t often help. They tend to surface anyway.

So keep it real. Candid communication is part of the strategy.

Were you terminated in the middle of your pregnancy leave?

No one expects to lose their job while on leave. California law generally protects employees who take pregnancy leave, so when a termination lands during that leave, and nothing in the record before it suggested one was on the horizon, it may warrant a closer look. The timing, the leave request, and the employer's stated reason are often all factors worth considering.

We consult with California employees on terminations involving pregnancy discrimination. If this reflects your situation, or if this happened to someone you know, reach out to see if we can help.

Were you promised severance that was never paid?

Some offer letters and employment agreements contemplate severance in the event of a termination. Then the termination happens, and no severance offer ever comes. Sometimes that’s an oversight. Sometimes it may not be. Either way, it’s worth reading the agreement you signed closely.

Brandon Banks Law APC consults with California employees on reviewing offer letters and employment agreements after a termination. If your agreement contemplated severance you never received, reach out to see whether it may be a fit.

Know where you stand.

Not every employment question needs a lawsuit. Some people were let go and simply want to understand what happened. Some may have a claim but no interest in taking it to court. Others just want to think through their options with counsel before deciding anything.

For situations like these, I offer a limited number of one-on-one consultations focused on evaluating potential claims and talking through the angles. It’s a focused, fee-based engagement, scoped to exactly that. For some people, better clarity is the whole point.

If that’s what you’re looking for, reach out to see whether it may be a fit.

Something I’ve learned in practice: personality fit matters just as much as the facts, for us and for the client.

Unlike a one-off transaction, litigation and even pre-litigation negotiations take time. Over the course of time it takes to bring a matter to a close, we and our clients need to be able to discuss things openly, trust each other, and genuinely get along. That fit makes an already stressful situation less so.

If you were wrongfully terminated, or you’re looking for a consultation on a potential claim or severance, Brandon Banks Law APC consults with California employees on these matters. Reach out to see whether it may be a fit.

There is strategy in counsel. Sometimes people come to lawyers looking to be told what they want to hear. Brandon Banks Law APC is not the place for that. We give our honest assessment of both the strengths and the weaknesses of a client’s position, because good strategy means understanding the potential downside, not just maximizing the upside.

Whether it’s a severance negotiation or litigation strategy, we see our role as a strategic one. We give our honest assessment as the landscape changes and as we learn new information along the way.
If that’s the kind of counsel you’re looking for, reach out to see whether it may be a fit.

Sometimes the strongest part of a case is already in the paperwork.

A client recently reached out about negotiating severance after an abrupt termination. It turned out their own offer letter already contemplated it. Raising that provision with the company led to a severance offer that can help bridge the gap to their next role.

Whatever your claim may be, it always helps to have the evidence to support it. Offer letters, agreements, pay records. Documents like these often end up telling the story.

Brandon Banks Law APC consults with California employees on wrongful termination matters. If something about how your employment ended doesn’t sit right, and you have the documents to support your claim, reach out to see whether it may be a fit.

Forced out or fired for speaking up?

Reporting harassment or discrimination should never put someone’s job at risk. Yet some California employees are terminated soon after raising concerns, while others face conditions so difficult that leaving feels like the only option.

Brandon Banks Law APC consults with California employees on forced resignations and wrongful terminations involving harassment or discrimination based on a protected status. We are selective in the matters we take on. If this sounds familiar, reach out to see whether it may be a fit.
