Wrongful Termination Defense Attorneys in Oklahoma

Nobody likes terminating an employee. It’s almost always a source of stress and bad feelings for all concerned, particularly when circumstances make it unavoidable. When it becomes necessary to end a worker’s employment with your firm, however, you need to make sure you’re protected from the threat of a wrongful termination claim in court.

Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable provides you with the protection you need. We specialize in defending employers against public policy wrongful termination (or “Burk tort”) claims, in which a plaintiff alleges that his or her termination was in violation of Oklahoma public policy. Such claims may be based on alleged discrimination under the Oklahoma Anti-Discrimination Act (OADA) [25 O.S. § 1101 et seq], which prohibits discrimination in employment similar to federal law standards but generally provides only administrative remedies; termination of employment due to employee absence from work during a period of Temporary Total Disability (TTD), as specified in the Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Act [85 O.S. § 5]; or upon some similar basis.

Letting an employee go is unpleasant for everybody. When the unfortunate need to terminate a worker’s employment arises, Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable has the knowledge and experience to make certain that the process is completed quickly, legally, and with the least possible risk to your business.
