Missouri Government Oversight Lawyers
There are many circumstances in which employers can violate the law by wrongfully terminating employees, even in an at-will employment state like Missouri. One example of those circumstances involves violations of public policy. If an employee refuses to do something that was unlawful, exercises a legal right or reports unlawful employer conduct — and is fired as a result — wrongful termination has taken place, and the employee may take legal action.

We have years of experience holding employers accountable and recovering compensation for clients who have been financially harmed by wrongful termination due to public policy issues.
