I can't say enough positive things about Mike and his staff!

Extremely professional and quick to respond.  My case went better than expected all because Mike knew exactly what to do!  I didn't go to court or even mediation and got the results I was hoping for and more.  Thanks so much for being there when I needed you!

- Kris Miller

The group at Cunningham Law did an outstanding job for me!

The communication was excellent, and the milestones were accomplished in a timely manner. I participated throughout the process, was kept informed regarding the progress, and a good result was obtained.

- Edward Johnson

I can't say thank you enough!

When I called I was feeling pretty confused and defeated and wasn't sure how to approach the labor board with my specific situation. Not only did Mitch make me feel a lot better after talking to him, he actually delivered! He gave me all the info and direction I needed to get the ball rolling!

If you believe you were unlawfully terminated, do not wait to seek legal help. Losing a job unexpectedly can be financially devastating. For many, it also comes with stress, humiliation, and uncertainty about the future. When an employer acts unlawfully, it is not just a breach of trust, it is a violation of your rights under California law.

If your firing was based on discrimination, retaliation, or a violation of public policy, you may have grounds for a claim.
You may be entitled to back pay, lost benefits, damages for emotional distress, future lost wages, and sometimes punitive damages if the employer’s conduct was particularly egregious.

Many wrongful termination cases are resolved through negotiation or settlement. However, if litigation becomes necessary, Cunningham Law, APC will represent you in court. Contact Cunningham Law today to discuss your case during a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

If your employer has discriminated against you, denied accommodations, or terminated you due to a disability, you don’t have to face it alone. Losing a job unexpectedly can be both financially and emotionally overwhelming, causing stress, humiliation, and uncertainty. When an employer violates the law, it is more than a breach of trust—it is an infringement of your rights under California law.

Employers must engage in a good faith interactive process once aware of an employee’s disability or accommodation request. If you were denied accommodations, retaliated against, or wrongfully terminated, you may be entitled to back pay, lost benefits, emotional distress compensation, future lost wages, and, in some cases, punitive damages for especially egregious conduct.

At Cunningham Law, APC, we focus on protecting employees who have been mistreated because of a disability. Contact Cunningham Law today to discuss your case during a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

Wrongful Termination >

Time is critical when it comes to protecting your workplace rights. California law sets strict deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, for filing employment-related claims, and these deadlines vary depending on the type of claim. Missing these deadlines can prevent you from pursuing compensation, reinstatement, or other legal remedies, even if your case is otherwise strong.

Understanding how much time you have to take action is essential to safeguarding your rights and ensuring your claim is considered. Acting promptly gives you the best chance to hold employers accountable and recover what you may be owed under the law.
