Wrongful Termination

Arizona is an at-will employment state, but employers cannot fire someone for illegal reasons. If you were terminated due to discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, or in violation of an employment agreement, we evaluate your claim and pursue compensation when your rights have been violated. We also represent employers responding to wrongful termination allegations with strategic, evidence-based defense.

We represent employees facing harassment or discrimination based on protected characteristics, and we help employers address and defend against workplace complaints properly.

Fortify's Approach to Employment Litigation

For employees, we begin with a case evaluation-often filing charges with the EEOC or Arizona Civil Rights Division before heading to court. Many cases resolve through strategic negotiation, but we're always ready to fight for fair compensation or reinstatement. For employers, we assess claim validity, pursue resolution, and defend against unfounded claims-protecting your business's reputation and finances.
