Skilled Wrongful Termination Lawyer in Madison, WV

Being fired is always stressful. However, when you have been terminated unjustly, it is even more frustrating and emotional. Cook and Cook Law Firm is here to help you fight for your rights as a worker. As an experienced wrongful termination lawyer in Madison, WV, we have a strong track record representing clients from across West Virginia seeking compensation for termination and wage or employment discrimination.

It’s important to understand that not all dismissals are “wrongful,” legally speaking. Under state law, employers must respect certain rights that employee holds. If you believe your rights have been violated, contact our office for a no-cost initial consultation to discuss employment law and determine whether you have a case against your former employer.

Know Your Rights

Employees are protected from wrongful termination by a variety of federal and state laws. For example, discriminatory firing based on protected characteristics (race, religion, disability, sex, etc.) is prohibited for employers that meet a minimum company-size threshold. In addition, your employee may have breached their employment contract with you if you were promised job security.

Our wrongful termination lawyers also handle cases where employees are fired or disciplined for exercising rights such as military leave, voting leave, family and medical leave, and jury duty leave, as well as whistleblowing. To learn more about your rights and determine whether yours have been violated, contact us today.
