Appeal Impact On Case

Summary

Winning a state appeal in Mississippi for wrongful termination and retaliation should not negatively impact your federal case and may even strengthen it. Consult your attorney about how the state appeal outcome affects your federal case strategy, potential conflicts, and next steps. Discuss evidence, possible outcomes, and settlement options. If your case involves federal laws like Title VII, contact the EEOC for discrimination claims. Cronyism, favoring friends in appointments, can be relevant if it affected your termination.
