Types of Employment Law Cases We Handle

Employment law covers a wide range of issues that affect workers every day, from unfair pay practices to being fired for speaking up. At KJT Law Group, we understand how frustrating it is when your employer violates your rights or takes advantage of your hard work. Our Carson employment law attorneys handle all types of workplace disputes, with a focus on wage and hour violations and wrongful termination claims.

Wage and Hour Issues

You deserve to be paid fairly for every hour you work. Unfortunately, many employers in Carson and throughout Los Angeles County try to cut corners by denying overtime pay, forcing employees to work off the clock, or failing to provide required meal and rest breaks. Others misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits and overtime.

At KJT Law Group, we help employees recover every dollar they’ve earned. Whether your employer withheld wages, violated minimum wage laws, or ignored your right to breaks, our team will stand up for you. We know how to hold employers accountable for wage theft and ensure you get the compensation you’re owed.

For example, we recovered: 

  • $6.9 million for employees of a department store who were denied breaks and overtime pay
  • $1.8 million in a class action settlement for employees who were denied breaks and overtime wages

Wrongful Termination

Losing your job is stressful enough; being fired illegally makes it even worse. California is an at-will employment state, but that doesn’t mean your employer can fire you for any reason. If you were terminated because you reported harassment, requested medical leave, or refused to engage in illegal conduct, your firing may be unlawful. Your firing is also unlawful if it resulted from discrimination.

We will investigate your case, uncover the truth, and fight for your rights. We’ve seen how devastating job loss can be, both emotionally and financially, and we’re here to help you rebuild. From lost wages to emotional distress damages, we pursue the justice you deserve. In one of our wrongful termination cases, we recovered $200,000 for a sales representative who was wrongfully fired and harassed.

How Our Employment Lawyers Can Help

No matter what kind of mistreatment you’ve faced at work, you don’t have to face it alone. The team at KJT Law Group is here to guide you through every step of your case, from investigating your employer’s actions to fighting for a fair resolution.

When you work with our team, you receive personalized legal support, not a cookie-cutter approach. We’ll listen to your story, gather evidence, and identify every way your employer may have violated California or federal law. From there, we build a strong case aimed at achieving the best possible outcome for you, whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial.

Our firm isn’t a settlement mill. We fight for what you deserve and limit the number of cases we take on so that you get the attention and care you deserve. You’ll work directly with your attorney, stay informed at every stage, and always know that a dedicated team is fighting for you. At KJT Law Group, we’re committed to protecting workers’ rights and helping our clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
