Wrongful Termination Attorneys in Falls Church, VA

By Your Side After You Have Been Illegally Fired

As a responsible employee, you work hard to exceed your supervisor’s expectations from the minute you arrive at work until your shift ends. In Virginia, however, your employer can terminate your position in spite of your impressive work record.

Because Virginia is an at-will state, business owners in the private sector are permitted to fire their employees at any time without providing a reason for the termination. While state and federal employment laws protect employers from lawsuits for a legal discharge, as an employee, you have legal protections as well.

If you believe that you have been fired illegally, our employment law attorneys at Tesler & Werblood are qualified and ready to defend your claim. Contact us for help.

Do You Have A Valid Wrongful Termination Claim?

Virginia employment laws prohibit private employers from firing employees when an employer terminates a position:

• In retaliation after an employee acts to protect his or her legal rights by applying for workers’ compensation benefits, requesting military leave or engaging in other protected acts
• For discriminatory reasons, including sex, race or age discrimination
• In a manner that violates the terms of the employment contract
