Collect all evidence you have
To speed up a wrongful termination attorney’s investigation, collect all documents and evidence you have that prove you firing an employee wasn’t illegal.
Consult a lawyer about what types of documents you need to collect in your particular case.
Cooperate with authorities
Maintain your cool and cooperate fully with authorities to avoid getting into even more trouble.
However, do discuss with your lawyer what you should and shouldn’t disclose to authorities about your particular wrongful termination case.
Keep everything confidential
Whatever happens within your wrongful termination case must remain confidential between you and me, your attorney.
Never discuss the wrongful termination case with other employees at your company, as this might cause a domino effect of other issues (such as other employees intentionally getting fired to cash in on the current crisis within the company).
