North Carolina Employment Attorneys Protect Your Rights

Experienced Wrongful Termination Lawyers

North Carolina is an “at will” employment state. This means your employer has the right to fire you for almost any reason, whether or not there’s a cause. Even if your boss just doesn’t like you for some mysterious reason, with at will employment, firing you probably isn’t illegal.

All is not lost, however, if you do lose your job. There are laws in place that protect employees from what is called “wrongful termination.” For example, if you have a written (or even implied) contract with your employer to work for a specific amount time or to achieve certain goals or milestones, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination case. And, of course, nobody can be fired for reasons that discriminate against a protected class or violate public policy.

The wrongful termination attorneys at Law Offices of Robert Crawford in North Carolina have decades of combined experience in representing those who were unlawfully fired from their jobs. Call our offices today for a consultation about your case.
