Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination involves the unlawful dismissal of an employee in violation of statutory rights, contractual obligations, or public policy. While Florida adheres to the at-will employment doctrine, terminations may still be challenged when based on discrimination, retaliation, or protected conduct.
Common bases for wrongful termination claims include retaliation for whistleblowing, discrimination under civil rights statutes, and breaches of employment contracts. These cases require careful legal analysis of employer motives, documentation, and applicable law. Remedies may include reinstatement, back pay, and compensatory damages.
Berkeley Law Firm provides representation to both employees and employers in assessing claims, negotiating settlements, or litigating wrongful termination cases. Attorneys ensure that all procedural and substantive legal protections are rigorously pursued.
