San Antonio Lawyers Seek Justice in Wrongful Termination Claims

Skillful South Texas attorneys assist workers fired for illegal reasons

Under the state’s “at will” employment rule, Texas employers are permitted to fire workers without stating a reason, but certain dismissals violate the law or contractual rights. At Sanford Law Firm in San Antonio, we are experienced litigators who help workers file wrongful termination suits when they’ve been let go due to discrimination or unlawful retaliation. In these cases, as well as instances where an employment contract was breached, we look beyond the official explanation for a firing to determine if legal relief is available.

Proven firm takes on discrimination, retaliation and contract violation cases

Not every inappropriate firing triggers a valid wrongful termination claim. Our employment lawyers gather the relevant information and offer honest guidance regarding your situation. If you choose to proceed, we’ll prepare the necessary documentation and build the strongest argument possible in wrongful discharge matters arising from:

• Discrimination — If you’ve been terminated due to a legally protected personal characteristic such as race, religion, age, gender or disability, our firm acts quickly to hold the employer accountable for the wrongful discharge. By filing a claim with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), we’ll start the process necessary to help you obtain a fair remedy.
• Public employee retaliation — Under the Texas Whistleblower Law, government bodies cannot fire an employee as retaliation for reporting a fellow employee’s illegal conduct. Some individuals working for private companies might be entitled to the same protection. Our lawyers investigate to see if a dismissal was an unlawful punishment.
• Contract violations — The employment of certain workers is controlled by a contract. In these situations, both sides might have rights and obligations that don’t apply generally. If you’ve been released from your position and believe that your contract entitles you to damages or another type of relief, we have the skill and experience to enforce the terms of your agreement or recover suitable damages.

Whether the matter is resolved through negotiations, mediation, an administrative proceeding or in court, we’ll work diligently to secure a resolution that fully compensates you for the harm caused by your firing.
