Attorneys Representing Workers Rights in Whistleblower or Workplace Retaliation Legal Claims in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In California, it is a strong public policy that employees should be free to report illegal activity without fear of retribution or retaliation by their employer. If an employee is terminated after reporting that their employer has engaged or is engaging in unlawful activity, the employee may have a claim for retaliation.

“Whistleblower” is a term used to describe an employee who works for a government agency and reports unlawful conduct occurring in the workplace. If the employee is terminated after making any such reports, the emplyee may be able to file a lawsuit as a whistleblower for retaliation.

If you have been terminated or laid off and you think your employer may have retaliated against you, do not hesitate to contact our office. We will aggressively pursue your claims to ensure that your rights are protected and that you are compensated for your injuries.
