Most California employment is “at-will.” At-will employment means employers can terminate a working relationship anytime, even for unfair or outlandish reasons. However, there are exceptions. The legal term “wrongful termination” refers to an illegal firing. These types of firings can include cases where the employer’s decision hinged on discrimination or when the employer violated an employment contract or retaliated against an employee for whistleblowing.
If your employer terminated you and you suspect it may have violated state or federal laws, you have the right to seek justice. With the assistance of a skilled California wrongful termination lawyer, you can take legal action and hold your employer accountable. At Tomorrow Law™, we understand how an unlawful firing can impact your life. That’s why our Tomorrow Law™ team is dedicated to seeking justice for mistreated workers.

Customer Reviews
This law firm was extremely helpful and successful in my case. In a matter of 7 months they were able to settle my case! Joshua, Ariella, Vedang, and Iona were my attorneys and Aaron were extremely helpful in my case, always responsive and helped with any questions I had about my case. I was turned down by a few other law firms but this law firm took me seriously and won! I’m very satisfied with all of their services.
They will always answer your calls and call you with updates to keep you informed. I had the pleasure of working with many of them and they are all great individuals. Bibiyan Law Group won two of the two cases I had with them and I’m pretty happy with them. I would recommend you give them a call.
Super nice people. I opened a case with them and it took a while like most cases do but they made it very easy for me. I basically just told them what happened and they handled everything until the case closed while updating me in between and answering questions if I had any. Thank you!
Bibiyan Law Group was by far a great choice to make for my wrongful termination lawsuit. They kept me in the loop with all the details and supported me along the way until I received my settlement. Thank you for everything. Would recommend!

What Constitutes Wrongful Termination?
While California employers can terminate at-will employees at any time for any legal reason, firings that violate California discrimination laws like California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and other labor laws or federal discrimination laws are unlawful. Terminating an employee in violation of their employment contract can also lead to a wrongful termination claim. Examples of wrongful terminations include:
- Firing an employee who refuses to participate in, objects to, or reports illegal activities or for participating in whistleblowing activities;
- Firing an employee because of their race, age, sex, pregnancy, disability, or other protected characteristics;
- Firing an employee for protesting overtime violations;
- Firing an employee for taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA);
- Firing an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim when they suffer a workplace injury; and
- Firing an employee without cause when their employment contract states they can only be fired for cause.
These are just several ways your employer can unlawfully terminate you. If you believe your employer terminated you wrongfully, an experienced California wrongful termination attorney at Tomorrow Law™ can review your circumstances, assist you in filing the correct claim, and help you determine the most effective way to address your employer’s wrongdoing. You can trust us to provide assertive and unwavering support, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice.
FAQ
What Kind of Compensation Can I Get for My Wrongful Termination Claim?
Compensation depends on numerous factors. However, damages often include lost income, forfeited benefits, emotional pain and suffering, punitive damages, and legal fees. Collaborating with experienced wrongful termination attorneys in California can significantly enhance your chances of obtaining a settlement that covers all your losses and damages.
Is There a Difference Between Discrimination and Wrongful Termination?
Not if your employer fires you for discriminatory reasons. It is discrimination if your employer fires you because you are part of a protected class under U.S. workplace discrimination laws. Additionally, being fired for being a protected class is considered wrongful termination. In this case, you may have overlapping claims.
Is Constructive Discharge Wrongful Termination?
It can be. Wrongful constructive discharge happens when an employer creates unbearable working conditions that force an employee to resign instead of terminating them. You may have a wrongful termination claim if your employer created an untenable environment that caused you to quit your job.
Can I Be Fired for Complaining About Sexual Harassment?
No. Terminating an employee for complaining about sexual harassment is retaliation, which is illegal.
Can I Be Fired for Lodging a Safety Complaint?
Probably not. If your employer dismisses you for complaining about a safety violation, you may be eligible for whistleblower protection.
How Much Does a California Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
Law firm fees vary wildly and depend on numerous factors, including case type, claim complexity, and the attorney’s experience. Firms also charge differently, from hourly rates to contingency fees.
