Experienced Attorneys for Victims of Wrongful Termination
Losing your job under any circumstance can be a tremendous setback, especially in tough economic times. It can take months or years to find a comparable position and recover the income level and stability you previously had. Although an employer is not legally required to provide a reason for a dismissal in Missouri — which is an "employment-at-will" state — there are state and federal laws in place to protect employees against wrongful termination. We are skilled employment lawyers who understand the law and can explain your rights under the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA) and the laws enacted by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
Strong in Cases of Discrimination, Harassment and Illegal Retaliation
You may have a strong basis for a wrongful termination action if your employer fired you because of:
- Discrimination against you based on your age, sex, race, national origin, disability or pregnancy
- Your reporting of illegal activity in the workplace such as financial crimes, sexual harassment or discrimination — in which case you are legally protected from "whistleblower retaliation"
- A Workers' Compensation claim you filed
- Your decision to exercise your rights under the Family Medical Leave Act
Decades of experience has prepared us to evaluate your potential wrongful termination case whether it involves discrimination or some form of illegal retaliation against you. For a free, informative initial consultation, call us today at 660-747-5152.
