If You Start Building Your Case Now, It Will Be Stronger

You likely didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, or your firing came as a complete surprise. Here’s what you should do now. During the consultation, we can go over all of it. If you haven’t been let go yet (but you see it coming), it’s time to prepare. Here’s what to do: 

• Get as much information as you can. If you’ve already been locked out of your employee accounts and everything else, it will be difficult to find much. However, you can at least write out a full version of the events from your side. 
• Don’t do anything against the company that fired you. It’s very tempting to write negative reviews, talk badly about your boss, and do other things against your former company. Resist the urge. Take the high ground. It will help your case.
• See if you still have your employment contract and or your handbook. If you can find anything in there that contradicts a reason for you being let go, then you will have a much stronger case. 

Working With An Employment Attorney Can Help Your Case

Depending on how or why you were let go, you might have to file certain governmental forms. You will also have to file for a lawsuit and submit other information. 

You could do this by yourself. But, it will take a lot of time and an improper submission could get your case rejected. It’s much better to choose to work with an attorney that knows court methods like the back of their hand. 

You Can Receive Cash Damages, Attorney Fees, And More If You Win

There are many types of damages you can receive if your case wins.

• You can be awarded past and future wages owed. 
• You can receive cash for emotional damages.
• You can also be refunded attorney’s fees, as well as any court fees (such as for filing the lawsuit). 
• If what your employer did was particularly bad, you’ll receive what are called “punitive damages” – meaning that the company has to pay extra. 

While you could do this by yourself, it will take a lot of time and an improper submission could get your case rejected. It’s much better to choose to work with an attorney that knows court methods like the back of their hand.
