Boca Raton, Florida Wrongful Termination Lawyer

- Race or skin color
- Religion
- National origin
- Gender
- Disability
- Marital Status
- Sexual Orientation (in some Florida counties)
- Retaliation
If you believe you have suffered wrongful termination or workplace discrimination, contact Lance J. Wogalter, P.A. for an initial consultation to discuss your options.
Wrongful Termination Cases: The Process
Before an employee files a discrimination lawsuit, you first have to file a petition with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a state or local agency such as the Fair Employment Practices Agency. If the EEOC thinks that you have a strong case and good reason to sue, then attorney Lance Wogalter will work with them to pursue a fair resolution on your behalf.
If your complaint is not resolved at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or local agency, then the client will generally obtain a legal right to sue and then have an opportunity to file a lawsuit against the employer.
Just because the EEOC doesn't find cause, it doesn’t mean your case isn't valid. It is still possible to win a lawsuit, and Lance J. Wogalter, P.A. is available to discuss and pursue your legal rights.
