Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I'm writing to ask for help in getting my job back.

A few months ago I was wrongfully terminated from my job 3 weeks after I filed an unpaid wage complaint with the Labor Board. On the day in question I had accidentally left my personal DVD player and case in the company leased vehicle, inside the case was a piece of mail that was addressed specifically to me, along with two Netlix movies that were still inside their 1st Class Mail envelopes. They bypassed the mail that was addressed to me and proceeded to inspect the movies that were inside the 1st Class Mail envelopes without my permission, there is an inventory sheet and multiple pictures that were taken that shows this.

What I'm looking for is someone to stand up for me, someone who is more articulate than I am, someone who will help me fight for what is right, I feel like I'm at my wits end and I don't know who to turn to.

If you were terminated in retaliation for your filing a complaint with the Labor Board, you have a case for wrongful termination. You should consult with an experienced California employment attorney about your rights in your situation. My firm, Eisenberg & Associates, has handled many cases like this. Please feel free to call us for a free consultation at (213) 201-9331.

More information is needed. Were you fired because you asserted your right to unpaid wages or because of the movies that the company found? If the main reason was because you filed the wage claim, the termination of employment was unlawful. If you believe you were fired because you filed the wage claim, contact an employment law attorney. If that wasn't the key reason, you can find an attorney to write a letter to your former employer to attempt to get your job back for a small fee.
