Boca Raton Attorney Handling Wrongful Termination Claims
Florida companies have the responsibility to provide a safe working environment free from discrimination and harassment, and to respond appropriately when employees exercise their legal rights. However, when workers point out problems in the workplace, or cause inconveniences by filing workers' comp claims or taking medical leave, employers all too frequently retaliate — often by firing them.
At the Law Office of William M. Julien, P.A., we understand that the working world is not perfect. When employers step over the legal line, however, we take action.
If you have been fired or forced to quit because you supported a union, complained about discrimination, or filed a workplace claim, you need experienced employment law counsel to protect your rights and help you pursue compensation for what you have lost. Attorney William M. Julien has more than 15 years of experience successfully litigating wrongful termination cases and is prepared to fight vigorously on your behalf.

What Counts as Wrongful Termination?
Not every job termination is illegal. Even if you think your employer was completely unfair, most firings are perfectly legal. A wrongful termination is one that breaks the law. For example, it is illegal for employees to be fired, forced to quit, or selected for layoffs because of:
- Discrimination against their race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status or another protected class
- Filing a workers comp claim
- Taking medical or family leave guaranteed by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Blowing the whistle on unlawful activity by the company
- Complaining about discrimination or for supporting others' discrimination claims
- Complaining about safety violations, health concerns, or unsafe working conditions
- Filing complaints about unpaid overtime or other wage and hour issues
- Supporting a union
- The employer wants to avoid unemployment insurance obligations
If you have been fired or feel you are being forced to quit for illegal reasons, consult with a qualified employment law attorney as soon as possible to make sure you understand your rights and how to protect them.
