SL Nelson Law Firm PLLC represents employees who have been wrongfully terminated in violation of state and federal law. Our team investigates each case with care, seeking justice for those fired due to discrimination, retaliation, or other unlawful motives. We combine strategic legal action with compassionate support to help clients recover financially, emotionally, and professionally.
What Is Wrongful Termination?
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for reasons that violate the law. This can include discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, as well as retaliation for reporting harassment, filing complaints, or exercising protected workplace rights. Even in at-will employment, there are legal boundaries employers must respect.
Your Legal Rights and Protections
Federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), along with New York State and City Human Rights Laws, protect employees from unfair dismissal. Our firm helps clients identify violations, gather evidence, and pursue compensation or reinstatement when their rights have been breached.
