For instance, it is unfortunately common for an employer to terminate a female employee when the employer learns that the employee is pregnant, often because the employer doesn’t want to cover a maternity leave and/or the medical costs of the birth. The employer may give some false reason for the termination, but the attorney members of Walker & Walker Legal Network are familiar with such tactics and can protect an individual’s rights. Successful handling of a victim's claim by a wrongful termination lawyer can result in a settlement or court award of:

• Reinstatement
• Back pay
• Compensatory damages
• Punitive damages against the employer
• Attorneys' fees
