Discriminatory Termination
Firings based on race, sex, age, religion, disability, national origin, or pregnancy violate state and federal law. A wrongful termination lawyer can pursue damages for lost income and emotional harm.
Losing your job unfairly can upend your finances, your career, and your confidence. At Duff Law Firm, P.L.C, our wrongful termination attorneys help Iowa employees fight back, recover lost wages, and restore what an illegal firing took away.
Iowa is an at-will employment state, but that does not give employers unlimited power. State and federal laws prohibit terminations based on discrimination, retaliation, and other unlawful reasons. If your firing violated those protections, you may have a strong claim.
Our employment law firm represents workers across Des Moines, West Des Moines, and throughout Polk, Story, Dallas, Warren, Linn, Johnson, Woodbury, and Dubuque Counties. We review the facts, identify the legal theory, and build a case designed for results.
For decades, Duff Law Firm has stood up for Iowa employees against employers large and small. Tom Duff, Jim Duff, and our legal team understand how state and federal employment laws apply to real workplaces across Des Moines and surrounding counties. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens your position from day one.
Compensation in a wrongful termination case often includes back pay, front pay, lost benefits, emotional distress damages, and attorney’s fees. In some situations, punitive damages may also apply when an employer’s conduct was especially egregious.
Time limits are strict. Discrimination claims often must be filed within 300 days, and other claims have even shorter windows. Acting quickly protects your rights and preserves critical evidence.
If you believe you were fired illegally, do not wait. Call Duff Law Firm, P.L.C at (515) 224-4999 or visit us at 4090 Westown Pkwy Suite 102, West Des Moines, IA, 50266 for a free, confidential consultation with an Iowa employment lawyer.
