How do I sue for wrongful termination?
To sue for wrongful termination, the first thing you need to do is schedule an appointment with an attorney who knows how to sue for wrongful termination. What they will do is they'll understand your case.
They'll take in the intake and they'll prepare your case for trial. The first step in any case for wrongful termination is to get a right to sue letter from the CRD in California or the EEOC in federal court.
After that, once you have a right to sue letter, you can prepare a lawsuit, file it against your employer, and take it as far as it needs to go. Sometimes there's an early settlement, and sometimes the case goes all the way through trial. And it just depends on the facts of your case and the willingness of your employer to resolve it.
