The actual phrase employment attorneys use is wrongful termination in violation of public policy. Public policies can be found in the Constitutions. They can be found in statutes. They can be found in rules and regulations. They can also be found in court decisions.

I have made law in this area. I established a wrongful termination claim based on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in our federal appeals circuit. Based on my work courts in Ohio now recognize wrongful termination claims based on abuse of power by state officials. I am also responsible for wrongful termination claims based on Ohio’s anti-perjury laws.
