Re: termination from employment

There might be a possibility that this was a wrongful termination, however, more information is needed to determine if you can have a case against your employer, i.e. what was the official reason for termination? when were you terminated? do you have another job now? etc.

You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible as there might be some time limitations that you do not want to miss.

You can contact our firm if you need further assistance.
