Wrongful Termination

While New Jersey is an at-will employment state, numerous legal exceptions protect employees from unlawful termination. We advocate for employees who have been wrongfully discharged in violation of anti-discrimination laws, anti-retaliation provisions, public policy, implied contracts, or the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Wrongful termination can take many forms, including termination based on protected characteristics, retaliation for reporting illegal conduct, or constructive discharge where working conditions become so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel compelled to resign. Our firm thoroughly investigates the circumstances surrounding your termination to identify all potential legal violations and pursue comprehensive remedies, including back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and punitive damages where warranted.
