WRONGFUL TERMINATION attorneys
When an employer wrongfully terminates an employee, they aren’t just taking away a job, they are taking away a livelihood. Our wrongful termination lawyers stand up to those employers, fighting back to regain for our clients what was wrongfully taken away from them.
Contrary to what many believe, there is no cause of action solely for “wrongful termination.” Rather, there must be a separate legal basis to sue for wrongful termination. This separate legal basis can be a violation of your employment contract or termination that violates one of the many employment related laws. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, you need an experienced employment attorney who is familiar with the various laws to properly evaluate your claim. Our wrongful termination lawyers have over 35 years of experience specializing in wrongful termination cases, and are renowned as relentless litigators who get our clients results.

FEATURED WRONGFUL TERMINATION CASE
$1,572,626 Wrongful Termination Award
As appearing in MI Lawyers Weekly, this award was the second largest arbitration award in Michigan for the year 2016.
Our client, Daniel Arban, was hired as Vice President and General Manager of a company in Southwest Michigan pursuant to a five year employment agreement that provided for termination only for-cause. In the event of termination without just cause, the agreement provided for liquidated damages equal to the unpaid balance of the contract at $265,000 per year.
Daniel was terminated and the employer accused Daniel of various offenses in attempt to justify the wrongful termination. We were able to discredit these alleged offenses and therefore the arbitrators rejected these grounds as pretextual. As a result, the arbitrators found Daniel was wrongfully terminated and awarded him $1,572,626.
