[jrgentle]

Need to know what is an adequate settlement in a unfair dismmisal case in VA. Company is in the wrong. How much should I ask for? My salaery was $70000 a year. I have worked for them since Aug 2000. They want to settle. Is there a precedent?

settlement of temination situation

There is no set amount. It depends too much on the individual situation. What it boils down to is pure negotiation. The other side typically has a lawyer or gets a lawyer's advice. A lawyer typically handles lots of negotiations and knows how to get the best results. An employment law lawyer will probably help you negotiate a better deal.
