Fired for the Wrong Reasons? It Might Be Illegal.

We help Delaware employees understand their rights, protect their future, and take back control after wrongful termination.

Free Consultation. No Fee Unless We Win.

You're Trying to Make Sense of What Happened

You spoke up about something that didn’t seem right. You took leave that was supposed to be protected. You followed company policy, kept things professional, and tried to do the right thing.

Then came the write-up.
Then the meeting.
Then the call.

Wrongful terminations are often confusing and messy, and may involve:

Being let go after reporting misconduct or safety violations
Sudden termination during or after FMLA or medical leave
A firing that doesn’t follow normal process — no explanation, just a push out the door

If something about it doesn’t sit right, there may be more going on. We can help you look into it.

What Counts as Wrongful Termination?

Delaware is an “at-will” state - but that doesn’t mean your employer can fire you for any reason.

You may have a case if you were fired:

In retaliation for reporting misconduct or discrimination
After taking FMLA or medical leave
While on a protected visa (like H-1B)
Due to bias based on race, gender, age, disability, or religion
Without following the employer’s own stated policies

You don’t need to know the legal terms. If something felt off, we’ll help you figure out if it was.

Not Sure If You Have a Case?

Many clients aren’t sure when they first call us. That’s normal.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth talking to a lawyer:

“I got fired right after reporting a manager.”
“They called it at-will, but it felt personal.”
“I’ve never sued anyone - I don’t even know where to start.”
“I think I waited too long.”
“I’m scared it’ll affect future jobs.”

Let’s talk about what really happened - and what your options are.

Common Questions

What does it cost to hire a wrongful termination lawyer?

We work on a contingency basis. That means no upfront cost, and you don’t pay unless we win or settle.

How do I know if I have a case?

You don’t have to. That’s our job. If you were fired and it felt unjust, talk to us. We’ll let you know if it’s actionable.

I was fired months ago. Is it too late?

Maybe not. Employment cases are time-sensitive, but you may still be eligible. Contact us now and we’ll let you know.

What exactly counts as wrongful termination in Delaware?

Delaware is an at-will state, which means employers can fire employees for many reasons - but not for illegal ones. If you were fired for reporting misconduct, taking protected leave, refusing to do something unethical, or due to discrimination, you may have a case.

My employer didn’t give me a reason for firing me. Do I still have rights?

Yes. Employers don’t always have to give a reason, but when a firing follows a protected action (like filing a complaint or requesting leave), the timing alone can raise legal concerns. We can help you understand if there’s more beneath the surface.

I signed a severance agreement. Can I still sue for wrongful termination?

It depends on what you signed. Some severance agreements waive your right to sue, others don't. It may be that yours was signed under pressure. Let us review it before you assume it’s final.

How long do I have to file a claim for wrongful termination?

Timing matters. Most wrongful termination claims have strict deadlines, some as short as 180 days. The sooner you reach out, the more options we can preserve for you.

Can I be fired while I’m on medical or family leave (FMLA)?

Not legally, in most cases. If you were terminated while on approved leave (or shortly after returning) this could qualify as wrongful termination or retaliation under FMLA.

I’m not looking to sue. I just want someone to listen and explain my rights.

That’s exactly what we do. You don’t have to commit to a lawsuit to get clarity. A free consultation can help you understand what happened, and what you can do about it.

What if I was fired while on a work visa?

Employment termination can directly impact your visa status. We understand how urgent and complex that is. If your firing seems discriminatory, retaliatory, or unfair, we can help assess your legal and immigration options—fast.

I reported something unsafe at work and got fired. Is that legal?

Likely not. Terminating someone for reporting safety issues may be considered retaliation under both state and federal law. We’ve handled cases just like this and can walk you through your options.

I’ve never sued anyone. Is this going to be a big, public ordeal?

Most wrongful termination cases are resolved privately through negotiation or settlement. You stay in control of how far the process goes. And we guide you every step of the way.

Don’t Wait - Time Limits Apply to Wrongful Termination Claims

Every week you wait can weaken your case.
Documentation fades. Emails disappear. People forget what really happened. And employers count on that silence.

If you were wrongfully fired - after speaking up, taking protected leave, or just doing your job - you may have legal options. But you need to act now.
