"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Unlawful Termination

Fort Lauderdale Employment Discrimination Attorneys Advocating for Clients Harmed Because of Unlawful Termination

Diligently protecting the rights of South Florida employees

Getting fired from your job for what seems like unjust or unfair reasons can be upsetting. You might be filled with indignation and want to take legal action against your employer because you feel you have been wronged. You might be surprised to learn that because Florida is an “at will” state regarding employment, employers are free to fire you for any reason, or no reason, if they are obeying employment laws.

An employer does not need to have grounds or cause to fire an employee in Florida. If, however, you feel your termination was in retaliation because you were a whistleblower, or if your firing was part of a pattern of discrimination that you have been experiencing at work, it might be time to schedule a consultation with a Fort Lauderdale unlawful termination attorney.

At the Yeboah Law Group, we are here to protect our clients’ rights when they have been unlawfully terminated in a way that violates an employment contract, or is discriminatory in any way. Our employment discrimination attorneys will investigate your claims and demand justice on your behalf if you have been unlawfully terminated.

What makes a termination unlawful?

While the law that applies to termination is a Florida law, employers must also follow the laws of the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Civil Rights Act. If an employer does not need a reason to fire an employee in Florida, what makes a termination unlawful? The following are a few examples of wrongful terminations.

A worker is fired after:

Filing a workers’ compensation claim
Experiencing discrimination for their race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected class
Choosing to blow the whistle on their employers’ unethical or illegal activities
Taking a medical leave of absence with the Family Medical Leave ACT

If you do not have a written employment contract with your employer, termination is not unlawful unless it is retaliatory, or you are a member of a protected class and your employer has taken an adverse employment action based on your being part of a protected class.

The employment discrimination attorneys at the Yeboah Law Group are always willing to consult with you about the circumstances of your termination. If it happened in violation of a written contract, or if you can provide some evidence that it was part of a pattern of discriminatory behavior, then we can discuss your options for taking legal action against your employer. We will not charge you for an initial consult because we work on contingency. You will not pay attorney fees if we are unable to recover compensation for you.
