Ohio is an at-will employment state, which means that unless you signed a contract or your employer promised to employ you for a certain length of time, you can be fired or laid off at any time, with or without a reason. However, it is illegal for your employer to fire you based on your age, race, disability or pregnancy status, gender, national origin or religion or in retaliation for reporting illegal conduct.
From our office in an eastern suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, the attorneys at Caryn Groedel & Associates Co., LPA, help people throughout northeast Ohio who have been wrongfully terminated. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our Cleveland wrongful termination attorneys have a reputation for identifying and developing creative solutions to our clients' most challenging employment law issues. We will go the extra mile to help you achieve your legal goals and obtain justice.
If you have been terminated, you may be feeling ashamed, confused and unsure of your rights. Our lawyers will take the time to understand and address your concerns, answer your questions and determine if you have a viable claim against your employer.
You may have a wrongful termination claim if you have been fired due to:
- Age discrimination and harassment
- Disability and handicap discrimination and harassment
- Race discrimination and harassment
- Gender discrimination and harassment
- Pregnancy discrimination and harassment
- Retaliation
- Reporting illegal conduct
- Being a whistleblower
- Constructive discharge
If you experienced sexual harassment at work and the environment became so hostile that you felt you must quit, you may also have a wrongful termination claim. Contact us to discuss your rights and options.
While some plaintiffs attorneys will settle a case at any cost, our lawyers will never back down. We are in court on a regular basis, making us well qualified to take your case to trial, if necessary.
