Legal Support for Unlawful Firing Claims in California and Nevada
Getting fired is hard. Getting fired unfairly—without cause, in retaliation, or for discriminatory reasons—is not just upsetting, it may be illegal. If you've been wrongfully dismissed, or you're an employer accused of wrongful termination, the legal consequences can be serious.
At Best Employment Lawyer, our team of wrongful termination lawyers handles both sides of workplace dismissal cases. If you’re an employee who suspects you were fired unlawfully or a company defending against a claim, we bring clarity, legal insight, and proven strategy to every matter.
We handle claims involving:
Retaliation for whistleblowing or complaints
Discrimination-based termination
Breach of employment contract or public policy
Firing after medical or family leave
Employer violations of California and Nevada labor laws

Fired Unfairly? What Counts as Wrongful Termination
Not every firing is illegal—California and Nevada are “at-will” employment states, meaning an employer can end employment at any time, for almost any reason. However, certain firings are prohibited under federal or state law.
You may have been wrongfully terminated if your firing involved:
Discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected traits
Retaliation for reporting illegal behavior, harassment, unsafe conditions, or wage violations
Exercise of legal rights like family leave (FMLA/CFRA), medical accommodations, or jury duty
Violation of a written employment contract or public policy
If any of these circumstances apply, you need an experienced wrongful dismissal attorney to evaluate your situation and advise on next steps.

California Wrongful Termination Laws
California offers some of the strongest worker protections in the country. Under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Labor Code Section 1102.5, employers may not fire employees for:
Reporting unlawful activity
Requesting accommodation for a disability
Filing wage and hour complaints
Taking legally protected leave
Participating in investigations or hearings
FEHA also prohibits termination based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and age. Additionally, under Labor Code § 98.6, firing someone for asserting wage rights is illegal.
Even at-will employees may have a claim if their termination violates public policy or retaliates against protected conduct.
Nevada Wrongful Termination Overview
Nevada is also an at-will state, but firings are illegal if they involve:
Retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting discrimination
Violation of the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) laws
Termination for filing workers’ compensation claims
Discrimination in violation of Title VII or the ADA
If you've been let go for standing up for your rights, or your business is facing an employee claim, our unlawful termination lawyers understand how to navigate the complexities of Nevada’s employment law system.
Remedies for Wrongful Termination
When a wrongful termination is proven, legal remedies for employees may include:
Reinstatement to their former position
Back pay and lost wages
Compensation for emotional distress
Attorney’s fees and court costs
Punitive damages (in cases of extreme employer misconduct)
Settlement negotiation or severance enhancement
For employers, our focus is on reducing exposure, resolving disputes early, and putting strong compliance strategies in place to avoid future claims.
