Rochester, NY Wrongful Termination Lawyer

Fighting Illegal Termination in New York State

In the state of New York, "employment-at-will" laws mean that employers can terminate the employee at any time for any reason. Likewise, an employee may decide to quit for any reason - or for no reason at all - without warning.

However, at-will employment does not mean an employer can fire an employee for an illegal reason. If you believe your termination was wrongful or illegal, reach out to our wrongful termination attorneys in Rochester right away. We can help you protect your rights and pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit.


Contact a wrongful termination lawyer in Rochester at The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. by calling (585) 294-0303! We provide services for both employers and employees.


Examples of Wrongful Termination Cases

In certain cases, employment termination is an actionable offense. Some wrongful termination examples in NY include:

  • You were terminated because of illegal discrimination
  • Your termination was a form of employer retaliation
  • You were discharged in an attempt to prevent you from collecting or obtaining deserved benefits

Wrongful Termination Due to Discrimination

Both state and federal laws define "protected classes." Employers are prohibited from firing their employees due to their membership in one of these protected classes.

Employers cannot fire you due to your:

  • Race or national origin
  • Religion
  • Age, if over 40
  • Mental or physical disability
  • Sex, gender, or gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Pregnancy

Discriminatory firing is often not obvious. Our lawyers for wrongful termination can look over the details of your case to determine if discrimination played a part in your firing.
