Were you fired because you refused to violate the law? While firing an employee in and of itself is not unlawful, in certain circumstances, it can be illegal.
The employment law attorneys at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, law firm of Alan C. Olson, s.c., are available for a free initial phone consultation to help answer the first question. Contact us through this Web site. Your consultation may develop into a consideration of other questions, such as, “How do we go about bringing your employer to justice after you were let go in violation of federal or Wisconsin law?”
When an employer terminates an employee, many laws come into play. Even when an employment situation is at will, meaning there is probably not a contract or state statute governing the employees job, there are still many ways an employer can violate the law by firing an employee for the wrong reason. We can help determine if you were fired for the wrong reason and what action we will take to make things right for you.
