How to Evaluate Any Firm You Find in a Directory
Whether you contact our featured firm or another listing, a few habits protect you:
- Verify the license. Search each attorney's name on the State Bar of California's public licensee search.
- Confirm the practice focus. Ask how much of the firm's work involves wrongful termination for employees.
- Get the fee terms in writing. California generally requires contingency fee agreements to be in writing.
- Watch out for guarantees. No ethical lawyer can promise a result or settlement amount.
- Read reviews critically. Look for patterns rather than single comments.
It also helps to understand the legal term itself before you call. LFECR's glossary defines wrongful termination as a firing for a reason prohibited by California or federal law, such as discrimination, retaliation, or a violation of public policy.
