You Are Not Alone

Losing your job unfairly is more than a paycheck. It's your dignity.

The fear, the anger, the sleepless nights wondering what you did wrong — when the truth is, you didn't do anything wrong. Powerful employers count on you staying silent. Michelle Nabati built her practice for exactly this moment: to stand beside people who were wronged and make sure they are heard.

"Wronged and abused individuals should never be silenced or intimidated by powerful people."

Do You Have a Case?

Your Firing May Have Been Illegal If…

California protects employees from being fired for the wrong reasons. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free conversation.

You were fired after reporting harassment, discrimination, or unsafe conditions (retaliation).

You were let go because of your race, gender, age, religion, or disability.

You were terminated during or after a pregnancy or medical/family leave.

You were fired for filing a workers' comp claim or requesting accommodations.

You refused to do something illegal or reported your employer's wrongdoing (whistleblower).

You were pushed out with a severance you felt pressured to sign.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire Nabati Law?
Nothing upfront. We handle wrongful termination cases on a contingency basis, which means you pay no fees unless we win compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free and confidential.
I signed a severance agreement — is it too late?
Not necessarily. Severance agreements can sometimes be challenged, and you may still have claims depending on the circumstances and what you signed. It's worth having an attorney review it before you assume the door is closed.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?
Deadlines (statutes of limitations) vary by the type of claim and can be shorter than you'd expect. Because waiting can cost you your case, it's best to reach out as soon as possible so we can protect your rights.
Will I have to go to court?
Many cases resolve through negotiation or settlement without a trial. But Michelle prepares every case as if it will go to trial — which is often exactly why employers choose to settle fairly.
What if I'm not sure I even have a case?
That's exactly what the free consultation is for. There's no obligation and no pressure — just an honest conversation about what happened and whether the law can help you.
