Sudden or unexpected job loss often brings financial uncertainty, and when a termination is unlawful, discriminatory, or retaliatory, the harm goes far beyond loss of income. At Kennedy Law, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania employment law firm, we represent employees who have been wrongfully terminated and help them pursue accountability, fairness, and justice under local , state, and federal law.
Attorney Nick Kennedy can work with you to evaluate the circumstances of your termination, explain your rights, and help you pursue appropriate legal action.
Pennsylvania is an at-will employment state, but that does not give employers the right to fire workers for illegal reasons. If you were terminated because of discrimination, retaliation, or another unlawful motive, you may have legal options.
While many employers claim a termination was based on performance or restructuring, Kennedy Law looks deeper than the stated reason to find the truth. A termination may be considered wrongful when it violates employment laws or public policy.
Common unlawful reasons for termination can include:
If your termination followed complaints or unequal treatment, it may not be a coincidence. The timing and surrounding circumstances of a termination can reveal whether unlawful conduct played a role. Kennedy Law works to uncover the true motivation behind your termination and hold employers accountable.
Kennedy Law is focused on representing individuals who have been treated unfairly at work. Clients work directly with their attorney and receive clear communication throughout their case.
