THE PREPARATION OF THE BEST WRONGFUL TERMINATION CASES CAN START BEFORE THE EMPLOYEE IS ACTUALLY TERMINATED

HAVE AN ATTORNEY HELP YOU WRITE A COMPLAINT LETTER TO DOCUMENT THE ILLEGAL CONDUCT BEFORE YOU ARE TERMINATED

REMEMBER - AFTER YOU'RE TERMINATED IT MAY BE TOO LATE TO GATHER EVIDENCE REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED.   

Get Help From An Attorney Before Writing A Complaint Letter

Complaint letters can be one of the best ways to document what is occuring to you.  However, not all complaint letters are equal under the law.  It is illegal under California law for an employer to retaliate against you because you wrote certain specific types of complaint letters.  On the other hand, you are not protected for making any complaint to an employer.  Only certain types of complaints are protected under California law.  You should always have an attorney help you write a complaint letter, so you will be legally protected if your employer retaliates and terminates you for writing it. 

Get Co-Workers To Sign Statements After Talking To An Attorney

Remember, after you're terminated it may be more difficult to contact co-workers or get them to write statements.  Co-workers are generally afraid to speak out against their employer once a lawsuit is filed.  Additionally, be aware a poorly worded statement may be more damaging to your case than helpful.  Thus, consult  with an attorney so you understand what type of statements would be helpful to your case.   

Get Legal Advice Even If You Have To Pay A Little

It is not unusual for the damages in a wrongful termination case to be well within six figures. 

Paying for a few hours of an experienced attorney's time to help you write a complaint letter may be the best investment you ever made, especially if, you are actually terminated later on.
