Wrongful Termination

Workplace injustice can take many forms,unpaid wages, discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination. At Apollo Law Group, we stand up for employees and hold employers accountable.

What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of federal law, state law, public policy, or the terms of an employment contract. Although most employment in the U.S. is “at-will,” employers cannot terminate workers for unlawful or retaliatory reasons.
