Wrongful Termination and Discrimination

The nuances of being “let go,” “fired” or “terminated” are not always clear-cut, as we have often found when handling wrongful termination and discrimination in NJ. At Wall & London LLC we represent such cases as well as instances where your contract or another agreement will explicitly state that your wrongful termination was, in fact, illegal. It is wrongful termination and discrimination if your employer fired you because of your age, gender, race, national origin, disability, pregnancy, religion, or sexual orientation. It can also be considered wrongful termination and discrimination if an employer fires you in retaliation for raising objections or complaints about illegal or other improper activities, or for exercising your legal rights.

Did You Experience Harassment Prior to Wrongful Termination and Discrimination?

Harassment comes in many forms so it may be difficult to prove wrongful termination and discrimination without the help of legal experts. To show in court that any of the above instances took place, you will likely need the legal expertise of a wrongful termination employment lawyer. That is because the law against wrongful termination and discrimination protects employees from termination or demotion for reasons of discrimination based on age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, familial status, national origin, and other categories.

New Jersey’s Employment Law Covers Civic Duty

Again, lawyers can show you how to prove wrongful termination and discrimination if you have been victimized by circumstances that involve civic duty. For instance, employees need to know that employment law recognizes jury duty, exercising their right to vote or going on active duty as a member of the U.S. military. In addition to the above cases of wrongful termination and discrimination an employer may have made misleading statements, knowingly concealed the less desirable aspects of the job or even fabricated the grounds for the employee’s firing. For those in the Haddonfield, NJ area who need the assistance of wrongful termination and discrimination lawyers serving all of South Jersey, we can sue to make things right again.
