Philadelphia Wrongful Termination Lawyer
Know Your Rights if You've Been Fired in the Philadelphia Area
John A Gallagher is a Highly Experienced Employment Law Attorney who advises indoividuals (and only individuals)about their rights in cases of wrongful termination, retaliatory termination or constructive termination. Because most people work under employment-at-will arrangements - you can quit or be fired at just about any time for just about any reason - it's not easy to show that your dismissal fits into one of the legal exceptions that protects people from wrongful discharge. Being employed "at will" means we can be fired for any reason, whether good (repeated violations of company rules) or bad (being the victim of unfair office politics or a "personality conflict" with a boss or favored co-worker).
We evaluate Wrongful Termination cases for individuals in communities such as Downingtown, Doylestown, West Chester, Norristown, Media, Phoenixville, Lansdale, Malvern, Perkasie, Chalfont, Harleysville, Broomall and Springfield
Contact Us today to discuss your situation with an experienced employment lawyer. We can help you first with your claim for Unemployment Benefits in Pennsylvania. there, we may also establish evidence thnat will enable you to successfully prosecute claims such as the following:
- Termination on Discriminatory or Retaliatory grounds
- Termination as the result of filing for workers' compensation benefits or complaining about Sexual Harassment
- Dismissal related to complaints about uncompensated overtime pay or similar violations of Wage and Hour laws
- Discharge in violation of FMLA or Americans With Disabilities Act
- Being fired for being a Whistleblower
In some cases, we can even establish a claim for constructive discharge, if you have no practical choice but to resign under working conditions that no reasonable person would tolerate. We do not recommend that anyone quit their jobs with the expectation of establishing a constructive discharge claim unless you first speak with an attorney to determine whether you would have a solid claim for unemployment, and subsequent wrongful termination.
