Frequently Asked Questions

If you're looking for an employment attorney near you in Oklahoma City or Oklahoma County, choose a firm that handles discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination cases. Addison Law Firm represents employees throughout Oklahoma in EEOC proceedings and federal court.
Yes. While Oklahoma follows at-will employment (meaning employers can generally terminate for any reason), there are significant exceptions. You cannot be fired for illegal reasons: discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, disability, or national origin; retaliation for reporting harassment or safety violations; or exercising legal rights like taking FMLA leave. If your termination falls into one of these categories, you may have a strong claim.
For federal claims, you must file a charge with the EEOC within 300 days of the discriminatory act (because Oklahoma has a state agency). For state law claims, deadlines vary. However, don't wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses leave, and memories fade. Contact us as soon as you suspect discrimination to preserve your rights.
Depending on your claim, you may be entitled to: back pay (lost wages from termination to resolution), front pay (future lost earnings), compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages in egregious cases, and attorney's fees. In harassment and hostile work environment cases, reinstatement may also be available.
Document everything. Save emails, text messages, and written records. Note dates, times, witnesses, and specific incidents. Do not quit unless absolutely necessary—resigning can complicate your claim. Contact an employment attorney immediately. Retaliation claims are often stronger than the underlying harassment claims and can be proven independently.
