Florida Wrongful Termination Lawyer
Employees are let go by employers for many reasons, but some of these reasons are illegal. Under the FMLA, federal whistleblower statutes, Qui tam legislation, and others, there are protections for employees.
Employers are not allowed to fire an employee just because he needs time off to take care of a sick loved one. They are not allowed to fire an employee who has reported illegal activities of the employer to proper authorities. There are many things they are not allowed to do regardless what they may tell you.
If you feel your employer has fired you illegally, speak with an accomplished Florida wrongful termination lawyer at Kwall, Showers, Coleman & Barack today.
