Years Experience
Losing your job can be devastating—especially when your termination was unjust, illegal, or retaliatory. If you believe you were fired for reasons that violate employment laws, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination claim. At The Taft Law Firm, we fight to protect the rights of employees who have been wrongfully discharged, holding employers accountable for their unlawful actions.
If you were fired unfairly, you don’t have to navigate this battle alone. Our firm provides aggressive legal representation to seek justice, financial compensation, and, when appropriate, reinstatement.
Texas follows at-will employment, meaning an employer can generally fire an employee at any time, for any reason—unless the termination violates state or federal law. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons, including:
It is illegal for an employer to fire an employee for reporting fraud, workplace violations, safety hazards, discrimination, or other unlawful activities. If you were terminated after filing a whistleblower complaint or raising concerns about unethical practices, you may have a strong case.
Federal and state laws prohibit employers from terminating employees based on:
If your firing was based on discriminatory motives, your employer can be held liable under the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act, and other state and federal laws.
If you have a written, oral, or implied contract with your employer guaranteeing job security or specific termination procedures, firing you in violation of that contract may be unlawful. We help employees enforce their contractual rights and seek compensation for damages.
You cannot be fired for taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), military leave under USERRA, or other state-protected medical or caregiving leave. If you were terminated for exercising your legal right to take time off, we will fight to hold your employer accountable.
If you were terminated after filing a complaint for harassment, wage violations, or unsafe working conditions, this is considered retaliation, which is illegal under employment laws. Employers cannot punish employees for standing up for their rights.
If your termination was unlawful, you may be entitled to substantial compensation, including:
