Hi there, good morning. I am in a dillema since I've been reading about wrongful dismisal cases in Ontario to understand if it really worth to contact a lawyer and in regards a case I am involved. Long story short me and other 10 people at least, maybe more, were fired with cause from a big RED telecommunications company recently. Curiously all of us with good seniority (over 5 years or more) and full time employees. All of us for the same or similar reason that makes no sense whatsoever since they bring up this to our attention a year later. Anyhow the thing is we did not receive any severance pay at all not even a penny, nothing, niente, nill, nada! So reading few articles and discussing this difficult situation with my old unemployed colleagues as well as different lawyers, I was told that could be entitled to up to 7 months of severance more or less in the event I hire a lawyer. I am fully aware that although the claim may be for something around $25,000 it'll be lot less in reality. As far as I understood by default, all money paid in a wrongful dismissal claim is income and therefore subject to taxation. I am receiving EI most likely I will have to repay some of those benefits and obviously the most important part legal fees expenses. Assuming a mediation take part positively for me, in your experience what percentage or more or less how much out of the $25,000 I will end up putting in my pocket? Thank you very much. Your help and opinion is truly appreciated.
