Workplace problems that come up in office and professional jobs
Professional workplaces rarely fire someone and announce an illegal reason. Retaliation and discrimination are more often dressed up as performance issues or a reorganization. We help employees sort out situations like these:
- Being let go in a “restructuring” that came shortly after you raised a complaint, requested leave, or reported misconduct
- Sudden write-ups or a negative performance review after a history of good ones
- Being treated as “exempt” because of your job title, when your actual duties don’t qualify — and losing overtime as a result
- Promises in an offer letter, compensation agreement, or company policy — such as for-cause termination or progressive discipline — that were not honored
- Withheld bonuses or commissions, or a changed pay structure, after you spoke up
- Harassment or discrimination by a supervisor, a coworker, or even a client or vendor
California is an at-will state, but that does not give employers unlimited discretion. Firing or punishing someone for a protected characteristic, for complaining about workplace violations, or for exercising legal rights is unlawful. Read more about these claims on our employment law page.

Why Cohen Law Group
The firm is built for litigation — not volume-driven settlements. That shows in who handles the work:
- Susan Peterson, Associate Counsel, has over 30 years of legal experience. She conducted more than 70 jury trials with the Contra Costa and Denver District Attorney's Offices, and has spent the past two decades in private practice on matters that include employment disputes.
- Joon Song, Senior Counsel, has drafted writs and appellate briefs for the California Court of Appeal, with a focus on careful legal analysis — including legislative history and issues of first impression.
When an employer's explanation doesn't hold up, you want people who know how a case is tried and how it is argued on appeal — and who prepare accordingly.
Questions from people who work in Century City
Your office is in Century City. Do I need to meet there to get started?
No. You can start with a phone call to speak directly with an attorney, or by submitting the online consultation form. An attorney reviews every submission and follows up promptly. Meetings by appointment at our Century City office.
I was let go in a “restructuring.” Can that still be wrongful termination?
It can be. A restructuring may be legitimate, but employers sometimes use that label to disguise retaliation or discrimination. Courts look at timing — for example, whether the decision closely followed a complaint or protected leave — along with how similar employees were treated and what the emails and reviews show.
My offer letter said I could only be fired for cause. Does that matter?
It may. Even in at-will employment, a written contract, an offer letter, a for-cause policy, or a progressive discipline policy that was not followed can support a claim. Consistent employer representations can also create enforceable expectations. Bring those documents to your consultation.
