Wrongful Termination Retaliation in Miami, Florida - BT Law Group, PLLC

From BT Law Group, PLLC - Wrongful Termination Retaliation in Miami, Florida explains what it means when an employer fires, demotes, or punishes an employee for protected activity like reporting discrimination, opposing harassment, or participating in a workplace investigation. Miami wrongful termination lawyers Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona outline how retaliation claims work under federal and Florida law, and what steps employees in Miami-Dade County can take after being terminated for standing up for their rights.

This episode-style guide walks through anti-retaliation protections under federal laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), along with Florida protections through the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), the Florida Whistleblower Act, and the Miami-Dade County Human Rights Ordinance. It covers what can qualify as protected activity, including reporting discrimination or harassment, filing charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR), or the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights, participating as a witness in investigations or proceedings, and requesting accommodations under the ADA or the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).

You’ll also learn how retaliation can show up beyond termination, including demotions, pay reductions, sudden negative performance reviews, exclusion from opportunities, and working conditions that may create a hostile work environment or lead to constructive discharge. The discussion highlights practical steps after a retaliatory termination, such as preserving emails and texts, saving performance reviews, collecting witness information, writing a detailed timeline of events, and understanding common filing deadlines such as up to 300 days for an EEOC charge in Florida-covered situations and 365 days to file under Florida law with the FCHR.

Finally, BT Law Group, PLLC explains how legal representation can strengthen a retaliation case by anticipating employer defenses, building evidence of causal connection and timing, navigating procedures before agencies, and pursuing negotiation or litigation when appropriate. The description also introduces Jason D. Berkowitz and Anisley Tarragona, including their backgrounds and their experience handling retaliation matters before administrative agencies and in federal and state courts.
