Being fired can disrupt your income, career, and sense of security. When the explanation does not match what happened, or your termination followed a complaint, leave request, or protected disclosure, The Lacy Employment Law Firm can help you understand your legal options.
Wrongful termination is a broad term rather than one specific legal claim. Your rights may depend on why you were fired, what happened before the decision, and whether your employer violated an employment law, contract, workplace policy, or established public policy.
Our attorneys can review the stated reason for your dismissal alongside performance evaluations, warnings, emails, complaints, leave requests, workplace policies, and other evidence. We help New Jersey employees determine whether the facts may support a claim and what steps should come next.
NEW JERSEY PRACTICE AREAS
Depending on the circumstances, a case may involve the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, federal employment laws, leave protections, or contract principles.
The Lacy Employment Law Firm assists employees from Newark, Jersey City, Edison, Trenton, Camden, Cherry Hill, and communities throughout New Jersey.
Whether you worked for a private business, nonprofit organization, government employer, or another workplace, we can evaluate the facts surrounding your termination and explain the laws that may apply.
