October 2022
“After being wrongfully terminated, I didn’t know where to turn. JMA Lawyers stepped in and got me a settlement I never expected.”
January 2023
“They treated me like more than just a case number. Professional, responsive, and always on top of everything.”
March 2023
"I was nervous to take legal action, but JMA Lawyers made the process simple and empowering. Their team fought hard for me—and we won."
November 2023
"I had never considered legal action before, but after being unfairly laid off, I knew something wasn’t right. A friend referred me to JMA Lawyers, and from day one, I felt supported. They listened carefully, guided me through every step, and made sure I understood my rights. The outcome was far better than I expected, and I walked away not only with a settlement but also with closure. I can’t thank them enough for standing up for me when I didn’t have the strength to do it myself."
August 2024
"When I was wrongfully terminated after nearly 15 years with my company, I didn’t know how to begin picking up the pieces. JMA Lawyers stepped in and completely changed the trajectory of my situation. They were honest, knowledgeable, and truly committed to justice. They never overpromised, but they absolutely overdelivered. Watching them advocate for me with such conviction gave me peace during a very uncertain time. I’d recommend them to anyone going through something similar.”
October 2024
“The team was sharp, compassionate, and relentless. I’m beyond grateful for what they achieved for me.”
February 2025
"Working with JMA Lawyers was one of the best decisions I’ve made. After reporting discrimination at work, I faced retaliation that left me stressed, confused, and unsure of my future. The team at JMA took my concerns seriously and built a strong case with professionalism and urgency. They communicated openly, treated me with dignity, and never made me feel like just another client. In the end, they secured a result that gave me back my confidence and financial security. I’ll always be grateful.”

LOCAL POPULAR LAW PRACTICES
California’s employment laws include unique regulations that set it apart from other states.
Wrongful termination in Los Angeles
The average wrongful termination settlement in California is around $40,000.
Lawyers calculate settlements based on many possible factors, including lost wages and benefits, out-of-pocket expenses, emotional distress from a hostile work environment, and the wage disparity between the lost position and a new position.
The statute of limitations for wrongful termination in California depends on the type of claim you are making.
You do not need to file for wrongful termination immediately after getting fired. You generally have two years under the California Code of Civil Procedure. However, cases invoking other laws or codes may have different statutes of limitations ranging from six months to three years.
Workplace discrimination in California
In 2020, the California Civil Rights Department (then called the Department of Fair Employment and Housing) received over 18,000 reports of employee discrimination.
These filings include 27 different types of complaints, all of which are protected under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Workers in California generally enjoy more protection from discrimination than in other states.
Disability discrimination is the most reported type in California, making up 15% of reports in 2020.
Gender discrimination is second, making up over 10% of the claims. Other common reports are racial discrimination and age discrimination.
Retaliation in the Workplace
24% of all employment complaints to the California Civil Rights Department were about retaliation due to resisting discrimination or requesting reasonable accommodations.
California law protects you from retaliation for protected actions, including observing religious practices, requesting accommodations for your disability or health condition, and whistle-blowing, or reporting other types of harassment.
A complaint with the Labor Commissioner’s Office must be filed within one year of the adverse action, barring some exceptions.
Gender discrimination is second, making up over 10% of the claims. Other common reports are racial discrimination and age discrimination.
