Legal Question in Employment Law in Washington
Wrongful Termination
I was fired last month for stealing and my employer put me in jail. The next day I was released because there were no charges filed. What should I do? What are my rights?

Re: Wrongful Termination
You can bring a wrongful termination suit against the employer and include a charge for false charges. You may also have a claim against the police.
However, unless you have a very good case, it's unlikely you will find an attorney to represent you. For starters, if you worked there for many years it's a better case then if you worked there two weeks (for example).
Try the directories at wstla.org and welaweb.org for employment attorneys.
Good luck,
