Understanding Wrongful & Unlawful Termination in Norwalk
Not every firing is illegal under California law, but many are. If your termination violated protections found in the California Labor Code, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), or federal laws, you may have a claim. In Norwalk, we regularly help employees assess whether an employer’s actions were more than just unfair and amounted to a breach of legal protections.
What Qualifies as Wrongful or Unlawful Termination?
Some firings that may be considered wrongful or unlawful include:
- Termination for reporting unsafe work conditions or illegal activities.
- Firing due to race, national origin, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristic.
- Dismissal in retaliation for taking family or medical leave provided under California law.
- Firing for refusing to perform illegal activities at the employer's request.
Many Norwalk employees work in fields like healthcare, education, warehousing, or retail, where employers must still comply with state and federal laws regardless of industry norms. If you aren't sure if your case qualifies, a wrongful termination lawyer from our Norwalk team can review your circumstances and explain your rights during a consultation.
What To Do If You Suspect Wrongful Termination in Norwalk
Recognizing that your rights may have been violated at work is stressful, but you can take important steps right away. The actions you take at first can make a big difference for your claim.
If you believe your termination was wrongful or unlawful, take these steps:
- Keep all records. Save emails, contracts, warning notices, write-ups, and other documentation related to your job and termination.
- Do not confront your employer directly. Speaking with your supervisor or HR could affect your claim, so seek legal guidance first.
- Avoid signing anything. Severance agreements or waivers may include clauses that impact your rights. Let an attorney review them before you sign.
- Contact our attorneys for help. Our unlawful termination attorneys in Norwalk provide confidential, no-cost consultations in English or Spanish. Early guidance helps you protect your claim from the start.
Your privacy is protected from the first call. You will never pay for an initial consultation, and our team makes sure every Norwalk client feels supported and respected.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I was wrongfully terminated under California law?
If you were fired for a reason that violates your legal rights—such as discrimination, retaliation for reporting workplace issues, or for taking family or medical leave—you might have a wrongful termination claim. California and federal laws protect employees from retaliatory or discriminatory firings. The surest way to know is to have our team review the facts of your situation and explain what laws apply for Norwalk workers.
Do I have to pay for an initial consultation with your attorneys?
No, there is no cost for your first consultation with The Work Justice Firm. We want Norwalk employees to get straightforward advice about possible claims without worrying about money. You can ask questions, tell us about your situation, and decide what to do next—all before any fees are discussed.
Will my employer find out if I call you for advice?
Your call to us is always private and confidential. We never contact your current or former employer without your permission. If you have concerns about secrecy or retaliation, you can feel safe knowing your privacy is a priority from the first call through every step of the process.
Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Yes, we provide legal support and consultations in Spanish for Norwalk clients. Our team includes Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff who help ensure every client fully understands their rights and options, regardless of language.
What kinds of cases do you NOT take?
We represent only individual employees in employment matters, such as wrongful and unlawful termination. We do not accept cases from employers, managers, or handle non-workplace legal issues. This focus keeps our advocacy entirely on the side of Norwalk workers.
If I win, what types of compensation can I receive?
If your claim is successful, possible compensation may include back pay, benefits you lost, reinstatement to your former job, or damages for emotional stress—depending on your specific facts and applicable laws. Outcomes vary, but our team will explain potential remedies and what influences them, working to secure the best result for your case.
