Miami Wrongful Termination Lawyer - BT Law Group, PLLC

From BT Law Group, PLLC - Miami Wrongful Termination Lawyer breaks down what it really means to be fired in an at-will state like Florida, and when a termination crosses the line into unlawful conduct in Miami. You’ll hear how the rules work in real life, why “no reason” can still be an illegal reason, and what steps employees can take right after losing a job in Miami-Dade County and across South Florida.

The episode explains Florida’s at-will employment doctrine alongside the major exceptions under the Florida Civil Rights Act (Florida Statutes § 760.01 et seq.) and federal law, including Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It walks through protected categories such as race, national origin, sex/gender, pregnancy, religion, age (40+), and disability, with clear examples—like accent-based bias (including a Cuban accent) and pregnancy-related accommodations.

A major focus is retaliation: what qualifies as “protected activity,” what counts as an adverse action, and how timing can matter when a firing follows a complaint to Human Resources, an EEOC charge, or a filing with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) under Florida Statutes § 760.10(7). You’ll also learn how claims move through agencies and courts—from the EEOC and FCHR process to litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida or Miami-Dade County Circuit Court—plus practical evidence tips like preserving emails, performance reviews, and inconsistent employer explanations.

Finally, Jason D. Berkowitz, Esq. and Anisley Tarragona, Esq., founding partners of BT Law Group, PLLC, share how their background defending Fortune 100 employers shapes the way they build wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, wage-and-hour, misclassification, restrictive covenant, and breach-of-contract cases for employees. The discussion covers damages like back pay, front pay, lost benefits, and emotional distress, and flags key deadlines (including the 300-day EEOC window, 365-day FCHR window, and 90 days after a Right to Sue letter). The episode also spotlights service throughout Miami, Miami Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Kendall, Doral, Aventura, Homestead, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest, North Miami, and more—plus how to reach the firm at (305) 507-8506 or visit the Miami office at 3050 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 205.
